Bedfordshire / Re: Fanny Lizzie Saunders
« on: Thursday 02 November 23 14:02 GMT (UK)  »
I've been looking at Beds Electoral Registers available on Ancestry for 49 Rothesay Road, Luton.  In 1921 it shows James, Emily & Daisy while the 1921 census records James (1839), Emily (1862)  & Frances (1871). After James dies 1925 the electoral registers has Emily & Daisy Saunders from 1926 through to 1930. In 1939 the electoral register has Frances Elizabeth Saunders which tallies with the 1939 Register.

Another finding is a newspaper report from the Luton Times of 3rd June 1910 regarding funeral of Edgar Saunders of Rothesay Road & lists mourners misses Emily & Daisy Saunders (sisters).

Regards John

Thank you RJ137 for her obituary. While I appreciate what you say that there are quite a lot of articles for her, could you search for anything she wrote that mentions a recipe or cook book around 1963 (+/- 2 years)

From the same newspaper could you see if you can find any mention of May A Hinckley - according to Springfield Directories she is listed as 'social writer - Springfield Union' from 1956 to 1965

Hello again

I wonder if you can find me any news clipping regarding the divorce of Robert Lester Hinckley from wife May previously Horsley in Hartford Connecticut dated around 15 Dec 1922.

Thank you for that, that confirms the newspaper and article but not my anticipated publication date. On my copy of the clipping someone has written date of 8-6-63 which I assume is an American style date, thus 6th August 1963. Could you check the date you found please.

Also I wonder if its easy for you to check in the same paper/same column in the dates after 6 Aug 1963 to see if that cookbook gets other mentions, by searching for Horsley or Lowestoft.

Hello

If any one has access, can you please check an article that appeared in the Springfield Union (or Springfield Morning Union) newspaper for a column entitled Our Readers' Exchange written by Alice Scott Ross possibly for the 6th August 1963 to confirm it is about a unique cookbook from 1905 belonging to Benjamin Horsley of Lowestoft.   

I have the clipping but cannot post an image of it here

Thanks John
