Cambridgeshire / Smith Lucas
« on: Saturday 19 August 23 12:45 BST (UK)  »
A newspaper, Cambridge Chronicle, 7 July 1838, reports that Smith Lucas and Frederick Ridgwell (of Histon) were found guilty of stealing corn and I quote " the former sentenced to be transported 7 years, and the latter to one years imprisonment"

Miles Lucas (1814) married Elizabeth Ridgwell in 1834. They had a number of children including Smith in 1838, a gap of 5 years, then Sarah 1843.

In 1841 Elizabeth was living on her own with the children .... and in 1851  Miles was back living with Elizabeth and the children.

Cambridgeshire / isaac Binge Diver 1876
« on: Monday 07 August 23 13:04 BST (UK)  »
Isaac B Diver was born in 1876 to George and Eliza Diver. A 1923 baptism record, FindMyPast, shows Isaac born 7 September 1876 and baptised 29 May 1923. Elizabeth Hatton born qtr3 1881 (3b 451)

In 1902 Isaac married Elizabeth Hatton and they had a daughter Emily Elizabeth 1909.
In 1911 the family were living in Histon.
I can't see the full details of '21 but it looks like Isaac and Elizabeth Diver are living in Impington and Emily Elizabeth Diver is living Milton, with her grandmother, Elizabeth Hatton.

Issac died  qtr3 1923 , age 46. Elizabeth Diver possibly married Frank Redman qtr4 1923, but it's very soon after Isaac's death.

Can anyone see the date when Isaac died, and what happened to both Elizabeth Diver (1881) and her daughter Emily Elizabeth Diver (1909).
