Kent / Re: Lookup please - St Laurence in Thanet 1869

Pinetree - that looks very feasible - thank you.

I'll get a copy of that will. She was a Williams, so perhaps after her husband died or perhaps with the shame of her sons behaviour she reverted to her maiden name!

The sister named Mary Ann is bothering me though as I don't recognise that one. but I will absolutely check it out.

Thank you so much

The last sighting was in France 30 years earlier. It's beginning to look as if she never actually returned to England. Her son married in Kent, so it was just a thought that perhaps she had moved there too, and the name Emma Matilda fitted, so clutching at straws I'm afraid.

Thanks for the help both of you. I'll go back to the drawing board and try some of the French resources. Given that her so committed bigamy, she was perhaps too embarrassed to stay in England.

Cool thank you. My person was definitely Sheen sometime written as Shean and was aged 80+

Thanks Rosie, it would seem that it has been wrongly transcribed on Familysearch. Sadly it's not the person I'm looking for then :(

Kent / Lookup please - St Laurence in Thanet 1869

On Familysearch I have found a burial entry for Emma Matilda Sheen at the above church, the burial date given is 14 February 1869. but there's no image on there or other ppv websites. I've also checked FreeBMD and FreeReg, no sign of her.

There's no sign of a death certificate that I can see for her on GRO. Please could someone take a look at the burial register and see if it provides any additional information as I'm baffled.

Many thanks

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Burial St Edmund, Southwold, Suffolk

I wonder if someone could possibly do a lookup for me. I'm looking for an infant who was buried at the above church on 5 June 1779, her name was Mary Newsam.

I'm hoping the burial might just provide a little more information. I'm trying to confirm that her parents were traveller, but I suspect it will just confirm she was an infant. (Fingers crossed).

Many thanks

BG :)

Thanks Bumble. I've just found his baptism and he's not the right person, so back to the drawing board :(

Thanks Rosie. I've got it now - wrong church which explain why I couldn't see it.

Under 'England Select Deaths and Burials' it give his name as Frederick Vertham, buried at St Lawrence, Winchester - so they have the wrong spelling on Ancestry & FindMyPast and wrong church :)
