Many thanks Jill

Hi
If you try this link, there are a few John's. May be one of them is yours.
You could contact Blackburn OPC too. They may be able to help.

Hi
John was registered in Oct 1880 and Maggie in July 1875.
I've emailed someone to see if their resting place in Blackburn can be ascertained. I'll keep you informed if/when I hear anything.
Regards.

John was christened at St Mary's in Blackburn on 10th October. Parents King George Eastwood and mother Susannah.
Maggie was also christened at St Mary's on 7th February in 1875.
They may both be buried there...

Thank you for looking, I'll have a check at Blackburn for the burials.

Would it be possible please for someone to check St Mary the Virgin, Blackburn for burials to see if these 2 babies are buried there. Maggie Eastwood born & died 1875 and John Eastwood born 1877 died 1880. Both from Blackburn and children of King George & Susannah Eastwood.
Unfortunatley the burial registers on the parish clerks website only go up to 1870.
Thank you for any help received
Jill

Hi
I've now had a response to my email and have been told that both Maggie and John are buried at Blackburn Cemetery, Whalley New Road, Blackburn.

I have an interest in this family, and according to the certificate I've downloaded, King George Eastwood married Susannah Smith at St. Paul's church in Bury on 26 Nov 1867. I'd be interested to know what you know of them. How did he come to die in Smolensk in 1905?

Purpurea was last on RootsChat in August 2020 so should receive a notification of a new reply to this thread.
I see by 1871 census that King George Eastwood was born in Meltham, Yorkshire, he was aged 30 and he was an overlooker. Susannah was head of household on 1881 census. Her marital status was married. This suggests to me either that she was separated from her husband or that he lived away for long periods, perhaps because of his work.
British people went to Russia in 19th century in connection with the textile industry. King George Eastwood had a supervisory position by 1871 when he was still a young man, so may have been the type of person who was sent abroad to help set up factories and train & oversee the workforce.
Possibility for Susannah's baptism. 14th Dec. 1845, St. Mary the Virgin, Bury; parents Samuel & Anne; Samuel's occupation painter. Lancashire Online Parish Clerks www.lan-opc.org.uk
Birth registration 1845 Bury South, mother's maiden surname Clegg.
Other Eastwood/Clegg birth registrations in Bury South: James 1838, Margaret 1840, Jacob 1843, Samuel 1848, Martha Anne 1850. Lancashire BMD lancashirebmd.org.uk/birthsearch.php
Baptisms at St. Mary the Virgin, Bury. Also Susannah 1833 (died young) and William 1836.
Marriage of Samuel Smith & Anne Clegg at St. Mary, Prestwich 1832. Abode for both was Whitefield.

That would make sense. It also appears that he went to New York in 1893 with his brother Mark.
