STROWGERS of Westleton
« on: Tuesday 29 April 08 21:32 BST (UK) »

Am particularly interested in Isabella Strowger  b.20 Nov 1866 Westleton.   Can find no death record.    Am wondering if anyone knows anything.   Have searched marriages and emigration records.  Am thinking maybe she was in an asylum - how do I find info about these institutions?

Hi,

    Do you know who her parents were? Did she have any brothers or sisters?

Hi Sue,   Yes that's her.   She had a son Maurice Percy in 1885.  She isn't on 1891 Census.  On 1901 census 'Isabella' appears aged 73 (that's her mother Mahalah - for some reason).   She has just disappeared!   
Her parents were John Strowger c1830 & Mahalah Larter 1833.   She had a sister Elizabeth 1869 and brother John 1872.   Also an older half sister Anna Maria 1854.
Thanks for replying

Hi Mary

I have the Westleton Parish Registers on microfiche (up to about 1900). Let me know if you need any info.

Hi Mary

I've had a shuffty through the Westleton PRs for you.

To begin with, Percy Morris Strowger, son of Isabella Strowger a 'Domestic Servant', was baptised on 14 June 1885 in Westleton. No father was named, but the middle name 'Morris' suggests that this may have been his father's surname.

There is no record of Isabella's baptism in Westleton. More specifically, there is no record of anyone called Isabella having been baptised in Westleton during the relevant timeframe. The Census records up to 1881 also indicate that your ancestor was the only person called Isabella who was born in Westleton during the same period.

That being the case, I seriously suspect that this is her...

1891 Marylebone, London
RG 12/103 folio 105 page 8
8 New Street
Richard Brand, head, 28, railway porter, Monkleigh Devonshire
Isabel do., wife, 26, Westleton Suffolk
Charles Richard do., 5 months, Marylebone London

1901 Kentish Town, St Pancras, London
RG 13/153 folio 50 page 16
67 Weedington Road
Richard Brend [sic], head, 36, railway goods checker, Monkleigh Devonshire
Isabel do., wife, 35, Westlaton [sic] Suffolk
Charles R. do., son, 10, Marylebone Middlesex

I have been unable to find a record of this couple's marriage. But it may be worth investing in this birth certificate because it will show the mother's maiden name...

Charles Richard BREND
Dec qtr 1890, Marylebone
Volume 1a page 539

Regards

Dave
