James R Yeowell's Scavenger Hunt...Everyone Welcome To Join In

I can't see anything for Thomas Edward. Two for Thomas, the death of Ann and his own death in 1848 you already have.

[James R. Yeowell]

If you just put Lodington into the Gale archives there are loads of hits.
I think you really need to get access to it yourself.
One jumped out to me dated 26/3/1836 in deaths  Ann wife of Thomas Lodington age 65, no further information given.

This is Ann Day, wife of Thomas Lodington (my 5th Great Grandfather).  They married on 20 September 1791 at St. George the Martyr, Queen Square, Holborn.

I do not know anything further about her though.  Although now I know she was born about 1771.  I did not have her death date until now, so this is useful.

Maybe it is a coincidence but their son William Stewart Lodington married Sarah Day on 4 November 1820 at St. John the Baptist, Clerkenwell.  She was born about 1800 in Yeovil, Somerset (according to the Census).  She had a sister named Harriet Day who married Aaron Saul on 14 November 1820 at St. John the Baptist, Clerkenwell (so just 10 days after Sarah).

This Harriet Day was born circa 1802 in Kent Road, London (very specific birthplace) according to the 1851 census.

Now is she a relative of her mother-in-law Ann Day?

my 5th Great Grandfather and the father of Thomas Edward Lodington (and his siblings). 

Did Thomas the elder have anything to say about Beverley in his Will? I see from the death duty index that Manual Soares was the leading executor.

[James R. Yeowell]

I have yet to check that will.  It is something I need to check.

What was the source for it, by the way?  I did find some Lodington wills ages ago but that one was not listed, I don't think.  I have seen mention of it elsewhere.

Also, where does it mention the Death Duty?

If Manoel Joaquim Soares is mentioned though, that pretty much confirms that he is the right Thomas Lodington.

However, I suspect that maybe Beverley was not accounted for... and if he was, his father may not have been (just a hunch; he was found guilty of grand larceny after all -- especially as I believe this Thomas Lodington, his father, was the solicitor mentioned in the London Gazette).

Beverley changed his surname to Edwards too (probably not officially) and I doubt that would have gone down too well with his grandfather.

Just in case anyone is confused:

Camilla Mary Basset Lodington, the wife of Manoel Joaquim Soares, was the daughter of Thomas Lodington and therefore a sister of Ens. Thomas Edward Lodington (and the previously mentioned William Stewart Lodington), as well as other siblings.

The death duty indexes are viewable on findmypast. The ledgers themselves (which contain more information) are at the National Archives.

The will is downloadable from TNA for £3.50

Just found Candler Loddington in the 1871 census for Poplar age 47 - he gives his birthplace as "Alantic Sea"

[James R. Yeowell]

Shaun,

Thanks for that.

I have now found the will and will order it later, as I have to pop out now.  I shall also order two other Lodington wills.   Both hopefully ancestors.  One is another Thomas Lodington (hopefully the grandfather of the aforesaid) and one for a John Lodington, of Washingborough, Lincolnshire.  My ancestor, Rev. Isaac Lodington, vicar of Aylesbury, was born in Washingborough and was the son of a John Lodington but the dates differ slightly between the will and the death dates of this John Lodington.  But the location of Washingborough is promising.

What's the reference for that 1871 census entry?

Candler (1824-ish) and Frances (and daughter Frances) can be found in 1871 on RG10/573/10/20

If you are looking on Ancestry, they have it mistranscribed as Saddington
