Rachael Poulton also known as Angerstein (1843 - 1913)

[Tam the Dooter]

I am researching the family history of Rachael Poulton who lived at 157 Church Road, Canonbury, Islington. She was what might best be termed the kept woman of George Ovenden with whom she had 6 children between 1865 and 1875. In December 1875 she (and I assume George Ovenden) used the name Angerstein for the baptism of two children George Henry Edward born in September 1870 and Lillian Gertrude born in August 1875.  From then on she used the name Angerstein for all but her first child, although their births were registered as Poulton. From the mid 1880s she called herself Angerstein and indeed her death was registered as that surname. Can anyone help please with shedding light on whether there was a legitimate use of the name Angerstein and anything further to her story.

Thanks

Hi Tam

Did you see the marriage of Georgina Rachel E Poulton to George Henry Angerstein in Q3, 1887, Islington, 1b, 451? Could this be the same Georgina Rachel E Poulton, eldest daughter of Rachel Poulton, born in 1866 - who is getting married aged 21 in 1887? Why the use of the Angerstein name before and then afterwards is intriguing.

George Henry E ANGERSTEIN marries Charlotte Elizabeth ARNOLD,though.

EDIT: Just realised that George is Rachael's son.

And Georgina Rachel Eleanor Poulton marries Henry Whittaker

She leaves a blank for father.

However, the George Henry Edward Angerstein, (marrying Charlotte Arnold) gives George Angerstein, surgeon(sorry, surveyor!), as father.

Address for George and Georgina both the same.


Witnesses at the Georgina Poulton to Whittaker are George Ovenden, C J Whitaker and C M Angerstein

Witnesses at the George Angerstrein to Charlotte Arnold marriage are : William Arnold and Florence Angerstein

I think the occupation for the father George is "surveyor" rather than "surgeon"?? (I read it as "sawyer" first time around. ).

I wonder what George OVENDEN's background is? Can't really spot him.

Sorry, Maureen. I have no idea why I typed surgeon. It is definitley surveyor! I read it as surveyor, but brain somehow changed it to surgeon when I typed it up!!!!!!  Senior moment

1881 shows Rachael Poulton as "married", 37 b Epping, sister of Mary Poulton, unmar 39 b Epping.

Their parents appear likely to be William Poulton & Lydia Taylor, on the same page of marriages Jun qtr 1840 Epping.
