Dunbartonshire / Re: Cutty Sark
« on: Wednesday 31 January 18 00:39 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone able to let me know if Frederick William Marshall (1852-1930) was on the crew list of the Cutty Sark. I have inherited a framed picture of the ship from my mother, who was very interested in family history. In her research notes she said that Frederick (Fred?) went to sea as a boy in 1861 and I know from her notes that he later  he ‘sailed the China Coast’.
He ended up in Australia later on.
Regards
Janette

Thankyou! You have been most helpful. That is the family-Nephews George Watson, Henry Watson, John Watson and Edward Watson are the people I am looking for, particularly John, my direct ancestor. Also Ellen Watson. There are times when research falls into place and this is one - so thrilled with this find.
John returned to England to collect his share and , on return to Australia, purchased land and built four homes in Balmain. He also set up a ferry business, transporting passengers to the city and around the Balmain area.
Descendants all know that there was an Aunt Lomax, and one of his grandchildren was christened 'Lomax'.Australian family have visited Gainsborough, where my John was born and not found him. But we were searching in the wrong location. His father moved the family to London.
Is the only way to get to see the will, via the 30 day view option? Do you know if it is possible to purchase a photo copy?
Kindest regards JH

Thankyou, that would be wonderful! Her full death details are
Sarah Lomax
DOD: 5 July 1864 at 30 Hereford Rd, Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, Middlesex
Probate: 5 September 1865 Nottingham Registry.

I believe that she left money in her estate to my Great Grandfather, John Watson (or a close relative of his). John was born in England in 1818, and migrated to Australia in the 1850's. I am in Australia. I'm not yet 100% positive that it is her, but the dates match, he inherited from a Lomax (Sarah's maiden name is Watson) and he had to return from Australia to Birmingham c 1865 to collect the inheritance.
Thankyou for looking- if it is too long to copy, and you think that I have the right person, I'll order it.
Thankyou again for your help

Hi , I am wondering if there is a way to access the will of Sarah Lomax? She died 5 July 1864 at Hereford Rd, Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, but her probate was proved at Nottingham Registry 5 Sept 1865. I believe she left some of her estate to a nephew, my ancestor.
It's possible that it could alternatively be (but less likely), Ann Lomax , died 18 March 1863 at 5 Claremont Place, Paddington Green. Will proved 30 March 1863 at Principle Registry

Would appreciate any help/advice on viewing these.
Thankyou

Thanks Marg
Somewhere I have a letter written by the executers of the family estate of the lady who held the will. I thought that she deposited it...but maybe they have it. :)
