Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: What Is The Occupation

Hi,
Thank you so much. I wondered if the last word was "weaver" but didn't know about the "Say" bit.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / What Is The Occupation
« on: Monday 27 March 23 07:38 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I was wondering if someone would be able to give me some help with this marriage record please?
I have Carnaby Strutt and Jane Wilson getting married in St Bride's Fleet Street, London. All the entries in the Register give an account of the spouse's occupation, place of abode. I can read the record but just can't fathom the last sentence which says Carnaby's occupation.

Thanking You,
Marj

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Sarah Poole 1835 Will
« on: Wednesday 01 March 23 23:53 GMT (UK)  »
John Cavell one of the trustees was the grandfather of Nurse Edith Cavell. His brother Henry Cavell married Jane Poole a daughter of Sarah Poole testator. Henry (East India Co) & Jane died young leaving Martha Abel nee Poole to raise their son Henry Theodore Cavell mentioned in the Will.

John & Henry Cavell were the brothers of my 3 x Gt Grandpa George Cavell. All born in Bawdsey, Suffolk. Sarah Poole (Testator) nee Strutt was the sister of my 4 x gt grandmother Mary Cavell nee Strutt - Mary Cavell was the mother of John, Henry & George and married to Corry Cavell of Ipswich, Suffolk.

This is why I was so interested in the Will of Sarah Poole and her children.

Hi everyone,

Thank you sooo much. I would never have thought it was a "J". The Robert Poole witness at Sarah's marriage was her older brother.

Warm regards,

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Sarah Poole 1835 Will
« on: Wednesday 01 March 23 07:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I'd like to  ask for some assistance with the 1835 Will of my Sarah Poole of Old Kentish Town, Middlesex formally of Mendham Suffolk. She has left everything to 1) William - I can't work out his surname - of Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury - Ironmonger, 2) John Cavell of Greys Inn Place Middlesex - Law Stationer.

William is the husband of Sarah Poole's daughter Sarah who is also mentioned in the Will along with her sisters Harriet Aldous, Martha Abel, Mary Waller & Catherine Poole and grandson Henry Theodore Cavell.

I would be most grateful for any assistance offered in solving William's surname.
