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

[regross]

John Day Lodington son of Kenneth and Ellen Annie died in NSW in 1956 #7110.
 also in NSW a Cuthbert H Lodington  born to John D and Bridget in 1858 #1535

WA index http://www.dotag.wa.gov.au/  has to John Day Lodington and Bridget McKenzie: CAMILLA SARAH 1856 and
KENNETH WILLIAM 1860.
This will be the Kenneth William who married in Victoria

KENNETH William  Lodington born KING GEORGES SOUND married Ellen Annie Jones in 1883 #3363

KING GEORGE SOUND was in WEST AUSTRALIA.

So you can track John Day Lodington's  travels in Australia: 1856 WA, 1858 NSW, 1860 WA

QLD https://www.bdm.qld.gov.au  has CUTHBERT Lodington aged 56
deceased in 1915 #C1758 +dob 1859 ergo most probably son of John Day and Bridget born in NSW.

Could find nothing in Tasmania  nor on the military rolls.

good luck

In fact, the age of Eleanor S F Graham is spot on.  Eleanor (Sarah Fortye) Lodington (née Millis) was aged 18 in 1851.

I am fairly certain it is her.

Plus Lambeth is the right area too.

Hi all

the portraits might still be around in  a Lincolnshire Museum:

That sounds very interesting Robyn.  You'll have to chase that up James. 

Re the Graham surname - why  . Age is right. Area is right. Surname is wrong. Condition of "widow" is wrong. I wonder if she remarried a Mr Graham.  Can't see anything likely on Freebmd.

But, Stranger things have happened.   

What is her occupation? Looks like "Stewardes". 

Earlier I did look for a Graham marriage to an Eleanor SF but couldn't see anything likely. Others may be better searchers.

To be sure James, you will have to try to trace that Eleanor SF through the censuses.

I am having problems trying to find a birth for Emily E*er around 1857 in Surrey. Freebmd is SO slow ... I will try later, or perhaps someone else may have better luck in the meantime.

I'm not sure exactly why she would use the surname Graham.  However, she could not remarry because she was not a widow and it is likely Beverley Lodington alias Edwards left her for Buley Gerrard.  I doubt she wanted to be a bigamist (neither was her husband, as he never married Buley Gerrard).

Maybe she was doing the same as Beverley and covering her tracks by changing her surname.  Millis is not as rare as the surname Lodington though.

If it is not her, then I have yet to come across a marriage that fits.
