Kent Lookup Requests / Kent Lunatic Asylum - BECKFORD
« on: Sunday 24 November 19 11:04 GMT (UK)  »
David Beckford died on 20 Nov 1868 at Maidstone, St Peter.  His residence is stated as being Kent Lunatic Asylum.  I would like to confirm that he was born circa 1801 probably in Kent.  This seems odd as his wife Caroline Bailey was born circa 1830 in Chiselhurst, Kent.  Perhaps she was his 2nd wife - I don't know.  I was wondering if the Asylum would have details of when he entered the asylum and how old he was.

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

Occupation Interests / Carpeted shoemaker
« on: Wednesday 06 May 15 07:53 BST (UK)  »
In the 1851 census the occupation of my William Carolan, born in Ireland in 1825, has been transcribed as "carpeted shoemaker", but I can't actually read the word, so don't know if it is correct.  Has anyone heard of the word "carpeted" and knows what it may mean?

Thanks.

I am looking for William Carpenter, christened 1819, Islington, Middlesex.  I have found the following census record on findmypast, but it is illegible (free).  The reference is HO107 676 1/25 43 address Henrietta Place, St Marylebone, Marylebone, Middlesex. 

Could anyone find a readable copy and give me the details.  Also is there a John Joseph Carpenter on the same page anywhere?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Thomas Aldwin, born about 1773, West Drayton, London, England.  On familysearch there are records of 2 different fathers.  Both give the christening as 6 Jun 1773, West Drayton, London, England

Batch Number 7033807 gives the parents as William and Elizabeth.
Batch Number 8114932 gives the parents as John and Elizabeth.

Is there any way I can check which is correct?

Any help would be appreciated.

Kent Completed Lookup Requests / 1871 census request - Beckford COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 26 August 08 14:13 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for David Beckford born about 1830, his wife Caroline born about 1841 and married in 1864 in Bromley, Kent.  Also their 2 children, Eliza born 1853, Deptford and William born 1866, Deptford, Kent.

I need to check Caroline's and Eliza's birth dates as the mother is only 12 years older than the daughter.  Caroline could, of course be David Beckford's second wife.

Any help would be much appreciated.
