Dear Jane
The sea breezes have done their work and blown away the cobwebs over the identity of Esther Friday Tilt. I think you have shown clearly that she is actually Esther Rose Friday Tilt, mother of little Harry Friday who died aged 1, and twice widowed.
Thank you so much for all that work on the other Esther Friday Moore, showing conclusively that the Tilt widow couldn't have been her.
So it looks as though my relative's widow ended her days in the Dorking Union workhouse. In his will, Thomas Tilt the baker leaves everything (bar Esther's £5) to his only child Annie Turner, on condition she sells up the business. The estate amounted to £35-7s-8d in 1882. Between when he wrote the will in 1875 and when he died, Annie and her husband had moved to Winchester. We happened to be there last week, and I found their house, an attractive brick urban cottage, the end of a group of three, in a narrow lane off Winchester High Street, now pedestrianised. Nowadays it is a hair dresser's.
It really doesn't seem right that while Annie and her six children were comfortably housed, her step-mother had to go into the workhouse, does it? Poor Esther. She didn't have much of a life.
Thank you so much for untangling these strands.
Beetle.

I was amazed to find & read this when I googled TILT/Dorking/Capel....I am a direct descendent of Annie Tilt, the step daughter that left her mother in law in the poor house!!!  She was my great great grandmother.

Was browsing through the site and spotted the name TILT. It rang a bell and I checked back through some unpublished research done by a friend recently on Mid Sussex Settlement Certificates. There was a John TILT and wife Sarah appearing there on 14 November 1738 being examined as he had moved to Mayfield from Capel.
Apparently the original records, no doubt containing more information, are at the Record Office in Lewes.
This might provide some more information on the family if you have 'lost' one out of Surrey.

Hi Jane
It will all be appearing in the next Journal of the East Surrey Family History Society. That's because, although it is from the Sussex Settlements, the individuals are all from Surrey. The details will also be going into the comprehensive Surrey Strays list and the new Super Index for east Surrey that the Society is responsible for. If anyone wants a search done in either they should contact Beryl Cheeseman who does the researching in the Society's collections. Go to the web site at www.eastsurreyfhs.org.uk and click on 'Strays' under 'Research Links' for details. There is also a growing collection of free to view stuff appearing on the web site that might be interesting.
