Hannah Wareham - death lookup November 1832? St Marylebone

[gazania]

Please, could I have a lookup for the death/burial of Hannah Wareham, spinster.  At the probate of her will (dated 1823) her death was recorded as ?November 1832.  Her address was ?Carburton St, St Marylebone.  The will is difficult to read.  Thank you, Gazania

Evening and a hot one too!  Thank you so much.  Looks very much like her burial and her age is given too which is a real bonus.  Best regards, Gazania

Hi Gazania

My only comment is that if her death is recorded as November 1832, there's a long gap until 20 December 1832 for this burial. Most burials took place within 3 or 4 days as embalming and refrigeration wasn't available.

Do you have any other evidence that she moved from Marylebone which is north or the river Thames to Lambeth, which is south?

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for your interest.  The will is very hard to read as it is so faded. For the date of death what I thought was November on the will could very well be December and the day could be 14th. The will was made on the 28 July 1823 with her then address as Marylebone.  The will was probated 8 Dec 1836 as her executor, her brother, William had died at Esher SRY,1834 ( and he was my direct ancestor)  and his son, William, was granted leave to administer the estate.  William the son provided quite a lot of information about the background to Hannah - the bits I could make out.

As you rightly say, death at Lambeth is a bit of a distance away.  Whether this death is the correct one I cannot be sure but it is the only one that comes close -so far.

But the good news is the will of this Hannah has given me a big breakthrough.  She names an uncle which proves a link to another Wareham line which also names the same uncle except in both cases I cannot quite decipher his surname - more work.

Thank you again. Regards, Gazania
