Title: Mr & Mrs Jupp, & photo album Completed
Post by: bowman on Saturday 25 August 12 20:32 BST (UK)
I am hoping to locate anyone connected to the people in the attached photo's, I have been given an album with these and many more showing various family snaps, along with photos of patients and staff taken at University War Hospital, which I believe to be in Southampton, also similar taken at Netley Hospital, they all seem to be from around the mid 1920's the wedding photos are of Mr & Mrs Jupp, Easter 1925, I have found only 1 marriage in Hampshire in 1925 for Jupp, Edwin J Jupp to Maude L Blachford, one of the photos has the initials written above it, which appears to be H,J, M and G Wiltshire 1925, if anyone knows of the family or people in this album, I will be only to pleased to return it to them.

Hi, thanks for that but I have no subs for Ancestry so cannot contact them, and if the people who have put the trees on there are no longer subscribers, again they cannot be reached, I live in hopes that someone will see it and respond, it will be a shame if I cannot reunite the album with its owners.

Many thanks Bowman

Kelly's Directory for 1925 lists some JUPP families, all in the Bitterne, Sholing & Woolston areas of Southampton.

I wonder if the Bitterne Local History Society might be able to help.

Hi Bearkat, I hadn't looked at Southampton but concentrated on Netley and Southsea, as a good many of the pics have these 2 places mentioned, but there was an Edwin Joseph Jupp living in Bullar Road with a Blachford family living in Dimond Road in the 1925 Kelly's, but they do not appear in any others that I can see, I don't know if Bitterne Local History can help me out, I will contact them and keep my fingers crossed!!

One more piece to add to the puzzle, there is an Edwin Joseph Jupp born 1886 whose death is recorded at Droxford in the Mar Qtr 1977, maybe someone in that area might know something of this man, is he the same one??

A very interesting set of photos. I love those 1920s fashions.

Just out of interest I delved further... It seems that Maude's maiden name was Wiltshire, but she married a Mr. Blachford in 1915 who appears to have died during World War 1.

From the 1911 census she is listed as a 19 year old unemployed teacher in South Stoneham, making her 33 in 1925. Also listed at the address were four younger sisters Ena, Hilda, Grace & Mildred, which may possibly account for three of the four 'initialled' ladies, Jess being the other.

It definitely looks as if the album belonged to a member of the Wiltshire family, despite them not knowing how to spell Maude's name correctly.

As nanny jan says, there are a few trees on Ancestry detailing this marriage, but no one that seems to be connected to the Wiltshires or this branch of the Jupp family.

I can find no references to hospitals, but maybe there is a post war connection. I'll see what else I can dig up, it would be a shame not to be able to reunite this album with the lucky family.

Hi Paul,   I hadn't thought of Maude as being a widow, but I have found the details of her first husband, Arthur Blachford, they married in 1915 and he died 31st May 1916, he was an ERA 3rd Class aboard HMS Queen Mary when she was sunk at the battle of Jutland, and he was of a very large family according to 1901 census, he lived in Bitterne Park in Southampton the same area as both Maude and Edwin her 2nd husband, and that shows up as being in South Stoneham for the census.
I did contact the Echo in Southampton, hoping they might publish my appeal for any family members that knew of the Jupp family to come forward, I don't know whether they printed it or not, but maybe it should have been for the Wiltshire's.
As there were only girls in that family along with Maude, trying to track down descendants could prove problematic, but I will keep looking, many thanks for your info.

I would like to get it back to the family if at all poss!!!

Hi, I live in Southampton.  Don't hold your breath re the Echo. They don't seem very interested in these type of requests. Another subscriber on here contacted them re a photo; 2 or three times they said they would, but don't think they ever did publish.

This Wiltshire family is mine.
Bowman contacted me via Wikitree and I have sent a reply.
I will tell you more about these as I have been tracing the family for several years.
I used to be a member of Bitterne Local History Society and also West End and am a member of Hampshire Genealogy Society.
Maude who married Edwin Jupp was born in Windsor as her father worked for Queen Victoria as did her maternal grandfather who lived in the Isle of Wight.
I have a book with a photograph of her parents at Windsor.
I had not researched the marriages of the girls so was not aware who Maude had married.

Would be interested in any further information you have on the people in the photos. Couldn't find any info on little Harold at all, and the young dark haired girl does not seem to be from the same family - was she a Jupp?

Post by: bowman on Friday 21 September 12 18:50 BST (UK)
I have a little more info on this family, although my original post was regarding the Jupp wedding, as you will see in the 4th photo, at the top there are feint initials and the name Wiltshire, this refers to the 4 girls in the pic, I believe they are Hilda, Grace, Mildred and Jess daughters of Gilbert and Harriett Wiltshire, and they were all born in Windsor, as the father was coachman to King Edward, as for Maud, she was a widow at the time of her marriage to Edwin Jupp, her first husband was Arthur Blachford and he went down with his ship, HMS Queen Mary, at the battle of Jutland, along the with around 1,300 of the crew in 1916, just 1 year after their marriage.

As you see bucgad replied adding info and I am hoping that I hear from a contact in Netley with the possibility of handing the album over, fingers crossed.

Update on this subject, I have been in contact with a descendant of the Wiltshire family, the album will be passed on to them on my next visit to Southampton.

Many thanks for all who have shown an interest in my quest.

I finally have the photos as I came to Southampton for the wedding of my niece last month.
I have decide to put the hospital photos up on Pintrest and will add a link from my blog to see if anyone may be interested.
I believe Mr and Mrs Jupp may have had a daughter who appears to have married and had 5 children.
I also found that Queenswood Clapham Park was a girls school in Kings Avenue, Clapham. I wonder if someone in the family taught at the school.
When I was at university in London we lived just around the corner from here.

I never did get to meet your sister, but she found them all OK, I hope the disc comes in handy, I thought I would scan them all and put them on disc in the event that you could use them in the way you say, glad to be of help.

Hi all,
I don't have any information to help, but I do remember a Mr & Mrs Jupp from early WWII days.
I was born in April 1940 and remember staying with them when I was about 2½ to 3 years old before my sister was born.
I remember both of them being very kind, they were older people - like grandparents to me. Mr Jupp used to smoke a pipe, I can recall watching him light it and puffing away in front of the fireplace and I remember having my photograph taken standing on their front steps. I will see if I have that photograph among the photo's I managed to retrieve from my parents' house after they died (I live in Australia).
I have no clue as to where they lived but as I lived in Purbrook, Hampshire at the time it wouldn't have been far from there.
I have never forgotten them, hence my sudden impulse to type their names into Google and finding these posts.

Cheers,
Davo

I am very interested in your posting about the Jupp family photos as Maude Jupp was my  and my twin sister's grandmother. Our father,  Donald Arthur Blachford, was her son by Arthur Blachford, who went down on the Queen Mary battle cruiser at the battle of Jutland. The Wiltshires mentioned were my great-grandparents.  My sister and I would love to see the photographs .- some mentioned were of our five great-aunts - we knew them all. They grew up at Windsor Castle as their father was coachman to Queen Victoria. Can you put me in touch with whoever has the photograph album now? I should be very grateful.

Hi, Sarah and andenh, that post was awhile ago 2012 and I managed to find and get the album to family members one lived in Netley and the other in Wales,

her link is http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=93646,

but I do have copies of all the photos in the album, I scanned them all and burnt them to a disc for her, in the hope they could be better viewed on a PC.

If you care to private message me, you will have to place one more post in Rootschat, just 'OK' would do it, before you PM me, I will send them all on to you.
