Jane

Thank you.

The Epsom 1835 date and age of 77 really doesn't fit with the known dates of my line.  Nor do other Epsom dates that I have found.

The Dorking settlement records haven't shown up anything.  It seems that as the family owned property and would not have required a settlement certificate if, in fact, they moved from Dorking to Kingston On Thames circa 1774.

My remaining hope now seems to rest with the Dorking administration and probate and the possibility that it might shed some light on family movements.  It might establish that the Dorking family stayed there or that they moved.  But it is a faint hope as probate was granted in 1758 some 16 years earlier than any possible move to Kingston.  I am waiting on the documents from LMA.

Otherwise I really need to locate the death of William Ratcliffe (married to Mary Marshall 17.1.1797). 

William's children had their children at Kingston On Thames and his grandchildren were at Hampton Wick.  Williams wife Mary was buried at Hampton in 1811, so it seems unlikely that William would have moved away.

I applied for the 1852 death certificate some time ago but at that time I was advised that as the person was not aged 80 years I received no further information.  The reply wasn't very helpful as the age was only approximate (based in the IGI approximation), so I was left none the wiser about whether this William could be the one.  Perhaps I need to apply again.

T.R.  have you had a look at the familyhistoryonline site for William Ratcliffe's burial?  As there's nothing showing on the Surrey index it's possible he died in an area not covered (metropolitan Surrey) or in nearby Middlesex.
Wills post 1858 are not covered on the TNA site so maybe explore that option?
All I can suggest is keep digging  Wink

Attempting to trace the origins of William Ratcliffe born circa 1772 and married at Hampton 1797 has been a trial.  Cry

Unless something comes out of the administration documents from LMA I will have run out of spades to dig with.

However,  in relation to your query about the source of the reference to the estate administration documents for Dorking Here is the reply from my source.

“I found it during a visit to the Surrey History Centre.  Having said that, I am almost positive that it was from a paper index of Wills that was on the shelf there.  It was as small printed book.  I'm sure they will know it if you ask them, the staff their directed me towards it at the time, but it was about four years ago now.”

I can’t add anything else but hope that this will be of use to you and others.

Jane thank you for your help. Wink

My regards
