Minnie/Matilda or Malinda?

[Keziah2]

Baptism 6th Ap 1898 Kensington

Westhorpe, son of Henry Westhorpe and Malinda Laetitia Collinson Cullen of Norfolk Hotel, he a merchant

Wonder where the Cullen came from?

Wasn't that her husbands name?

[lizdb]

Yes - she had married Henry Westhorpe Cullen/Cullum whatever a couple of years before baby Westhorpe was born.

[lizdb]

And I think the death I found was her, as Henry W Cullum , age 32 and a widower , (bn Suffolk like her dad) can be seen on 1901 census staying at the Clifton Hotel, Marylebone.

[lizdb]

The baby seems to have survived. His birth reg seems to be as Henry Westhorpe Cullum in 1898, Kensington mmn Flatman

He marriesin 1925 to Millicent Annie May Ewing

[lizdb]

And - again tying in nicely! - in 1901 little 3 year old Henry Cullum is a grandson in the H/H of the Flatmans and co in the Norfolk Hotel! (I see Arthur isn't actually at home on census night)

[Keziah2]

Thanks for all that Liz - I am pretty certain we have the right person. Just can’t find a bpt for a Malinda/Melinda Flatman/Collinson.

Strange we cant spot a birth index. Brother Arthur who was also born before the marriage was registered :

Arthur Frederick Collison Flatman
Ap/May/Jun 1877
Marylebone

mmn Collison

He is with them age 13 in 1891 but I haven't got him in 1881 yet.

[Keziah2]

No I couldn’t find him either but she was about to have another one so perhaps he was being cared for elsewhere. 
Arthur was at his country home in 1901.
