Catching up here, another day of blooming meetings

Thanks for the extra info on the witnesses to Sus Cheeseman and Wm Jones' marriage, jaywit - maybe Sarah King Galley was a friend of Susannah's (the Northfleet connection) or maybe she knew her from Mrs Collin's bawdy house (I THINK bawdy is the word missing from the policeman's rather coy evidence at one of Sus's trials at the Old Bailey!)

Osprey, I'm not necessarily ruling Bridge St, Greenwich out - it doesn't seem to have survived but wasn't that far away from Stowage/Giffin Street, just over Deptford Creek and we know Sus ranged about from Woolwich to Northfleet in those few years.

Thanks, bearkat - couldn't seem to open the link, just got a blank white page when I clicked on it(?)

Unfortunately no address.

Witnesses are S. Tarrant and Christopher Last or Lost or maybe Loat.

Thanks, bearkat, that looks like a useful site.

Mmmmm, thanks, glenclare, don't recognise either of those names but still looks promising, does it gives James Cheeseman's occupation as bricklayer by any chance??

In 1841, there is a Susannah Cheeseman with father James in Wandsworth who may account for the 1841 marriage. HO107/1069/2 folio 36 pg 6. Spotted her while looking for Susannah Isabella.

This has gone quiet    I came across a newspaper story saying Jane Cheeseman and Wm Jones alias Squires were charged with unlawful wounding - case dismissed.  In another story a Jane Cheeseman was also known as Jane Collins.  So it seems possible that they could have used any name in 1871?

Thanks, osprey and milly -  will pop in to the library on Monday to check out all the various Ancestry references people have kindly found for me.

Hi Ebch,
Newpaper articles you mention sound interesting - is there anything to further identify the people referred to (age/occupation/address/family etc etc)?  Which paper were these articles originally in (and when) and is there a website I could look at to follow up??
Many thanks,
Ermy
