Chymist Family

[EllaLees]

Hi am trying to find the parents of Marion Elizabeth Chymist..
She was born about 1862 Walworth, London, England.
She married William Thomas on the  10.08.1885 Camberwell St George, England
Died about 1927 Lambeth, Greater London, England.
On their marriage certificate has her fathers name as Solomon Chymist but I cant find not even one come up with this name in the UK?
Can anyone help me out??

Thanks
Ella

She was born about 1862 Walworth, London, England.

Strange as her birth isn't coming up anywhere - I wonder if she changed her name. I cant find her in the 1871 or 1881 census under that name either.

I see there was another daughter Florence Newton Chymist born abt 1863 who married Hugh Almond Fraser on the 9 May 1888 Camberwell St Giles, Southwark. Father's name Soloman Chymist. Her sister and brother in law were witnesses and Solomon's occupation is given, as it was on Marion's certificate, as Gentleman. 

Here's Florence's birth which might help

Florence Newman Chymist
Apr-May-Jun 1863
Lambeth
Volume:   1d  Page:   378

She isn't coming up in any census either.

That's interesting, Claire - I wonder what that is all about?

Very few Chymists about!

I can see :

James Chymist of 5 Marlborough Road, Dalston, bachelor, died 3 Dec 1859, Letters of Administration to Jane Abigail Berkeley (wife of George Brackenbury Berkeley gentleman) of Shenley, county of Hertford, sister of deceased.

and

Emily Chymist 11 Somerville Rd Peckham , spinster, died 8 June 1918 at Greenwich Union Infirmary. Probate to Emily Sharpe spinster and Henry Hewitt LAmbert solicitor.

Not must help I know - but probably related somehow!

Mary Ann Chymist, bn 1838ish in Cheshunt, seems to be an unmarried servant on 1871 and 1881.

Could that be the girls mother?

Its very interesting

The Mary Chymist that jacquelineve found in 1891 can be found in 1901 in a household with Emily Chymist bn Cheshunt Herts abt 1841.

Found a bapt. of an Emily Chymist (age a bit off) 15 Mar 1835 Cheshunt. Parents: Samuel and Elizabeth Mary.

Emily had a sister MARY ANN Chymist bapt. 26 Feb 1832 Cheshunt, Hertfordshire.
