London and Middlesex / London Westminster & Middlesex Family History Society - how to contact?
« on: Monday 18 March 24 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
In mid-January I sent a message to the LWMFHS via their Contact email address.

I'm still waiting for a reply, or at least an acknowledgement that my query has been seen.
I am not a member of the society and have no way of contacting anyone to check!

Please help... :(

Kent Lookup Requests / Tonbridge Workhouse - possible Look Up please
« on: Wednesday 14 February 24 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
Would anyone be able to do a look up in the Tonbridge Workhouse Admissions & Discharge Registers please?

I'm not asking for lengthy details, just to know if a John FRY is indexed (or similar) between 1851 and 1861?

Thank you,
Melbell

Please can anyone tell me if the Ruislip, Northwood and Eastcote Local History Society still exists?

I have been going round in circles trying to make contact. All the links seem to be broken - unless I'm being very daft..... :-[ :( 

Thanks!

Sussex / James Sinden
« on: Friday 08 December 23 15:26 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for the death/burial of James SINDEN please.

I don't know when or where he was born, but....
 
25 October 1803 at St. James Ewhurst Green - James married Hannah BAKER.
Their son William was baptised 29 April 1807 at Battle St. Mary. (He was buried there 30 March 1809).
 
8 October 1807 at St. James Ewhurst Green Hannah widow married Thomas SHORT.

James must have been buried somewhere! Any suggestions please?

The Common Room / "Separated" as marital status in 1836 marriage banns.
« on: Wednesday 22 November 23 17:56 GMT (UK)  »
Supposedly, Banns were read in Guestling church in 28 December 1836 for George Jenkins and Hannah Sinden.....Clearly then an Ancestry typo/muddle with the PR transcript, as the couple actually married on 28 December 1836..

But what intrigues me - is, who decided to mark the Banns entry as "marital status: Separated"? Really? In 1836? How do you find the evidence for that?!

Australia / Rowland Hutchison alias St. George?
« on: Thursday 08 June 23 14:50 BST (UK)  »
Rowland Hutchison alias St. George?

Rowland HUTCHISON was obviously known as such - although his birth was registered (Battle, Sussex, England 1852) as William Rowland. He was baptised at Crowhurst 26 May 1852, William Rolan son of Thomas and Harriet. The baptism record clearly indicates that there was a muddle about his Christian names.

1861 Census Crowhurst – Rowland Hutchison 8, b. Crowhurst

1871 Census Crowhurst (Ecclesiastical Parish St. George* see below) – Rowland Hutchison 18 Wheelwright

6 September 1873 Crowhurst: Rowland Hutchinson, Wheelwright, married Mary Ann Hutchinson d. of Henry Hutchinson, Wheelwright

1881 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings - Rowland Hutchingson 28 Painter; wife Mary 30; sons Thomas 6 and George 2

I can find no trace of Rowland after 1881.

1891 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings – Mary A. Hutchinson 40 Head, Married, Laundress; three sons Thomas 16, George 11 and Edward 7; one Boarder John Douch 58 Single, General Laborer

1901 Census St. Mary’s in the Castle Hastings – Mary Hutchison 49 Servant, Married, Housekeeper Domestic, with Smith family 

Mary Ann Hutchinson died 1909 DQ Hastings, aged 59

There is no apparent death registration/burial in England for Rowland.

However, Ancestry has a reference to the NSW Register of Coroners’ Inquests – Roland William St. George* death year c. 1884. I have tried to find a death registration, but with no success.  (To be honest, I’m struggling find my way around the Australian records……). 

Could this be the same person using an alias?

Please can anyone help!
