Somerset / Re: Who was Mr Fudge?

Thank you so much Jool. That must be the same Mr Fudge although, as he was a friend of the vicar, the reference to the relatives being of a different persuasion is a bit puzzling. I guess it's one of those things where we will never know the details. But at least I now know the identity of the mysterious Mr Fudge, thanks to you.

Somerset / Who was Mr Fudge?
« on: Thursday 01 April 21 18:23 BST (UK)  »
My 3x Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Simpson Amos was baptised on 20 March 1801 at Kingston St Mary at the age of 12, the daughter of William and Mary. Nothing too exceptional about that, except that the incumbent has written "This child was one of Mr Fudge's scholars and was baptised by the desire of her relatives who were of another persuation [sic]".

I can only assume that Mr Fudge was some sort of non-denominational clergyman. If Elizabeth's parents had died (I don't know if they had) and Elizabeth was now being brought up by relatives who were staunch C of E, they may have been the ones wanting Elizabeth baptised into their branch of the religion.

My question is, who was Mr Fudge? Does anyone have any information about him and his 'school'?

Hi Sally,

I was about to send you my Wlkie and Thyer tree when I found that the moderators on this forum had removed your email address (see your message above)! I understand the reason for their policy but it's now stopped me from sending the details. I included my email address in my earlier personal message to you so if you reply to that direct to me with yours I will be able to send the tree.

I would certainly be interested to see what Peter Strickland has and, of course, your own tree.

Best wishes

Hi Sally,

How nice to hear from you. Yes, I do believe we are related and if my calculations are correct, we are third cousins. My grandmother was Annie Amelia Wilkie who married Ambrose Brooks in 1884. Her parents were John Wilkie and Mary Dudden Thyer, who I presume were also the parents of your James Wilkie (John and Mary did have a son James in 1855).

It's been a while since I did any research on the Wilkie or Thyer line but I do have John's parents as Alexander Wilkie and Margaret Ogilvie and Margaret's parents as probably John Ogilvie and Beatrice Stormonth. Mary's parent's on the other hand were Thomas Thyer and Elizabeth Simpson.

Your contact has prompted me to start again on these lines to see if I can get them filled out some more. It would be good to be able to exchange information and I would be very interested in anything you have on the Wilkie or Thyer families. It might be better to continue this conversation direct via email if you are happy to do so. I will send you a personal message with my email details after I post this.

Best wishes

Read my posting above. It's the burial register from the church, not a death certificate.

Hi Gayle,

I've now checked the Carshalton burial register as well and it certainly does show Mary Ann as buried in the churchyard. I suspect, like you, that the R0 p42 does refer to a grave number, as all the other entries have similar but different references. One part, probably R0, will be an area of the churchyard, while the other could be a plot number within that area. With luck the church should be able to tell you where the grave is as they should have a plan of the plots.

The Serum Institute had been run by London County Council, even though the area was not in London, but was empty by 1943 when the site was transferred to the Wellcome Foundation. As you may know, Wellcome is a large organisation that does research into drugs and other medical matters and is a major producer. I think the buildings on the site have now been taken over by another company but the Wellcome Trust is a major charity and they have an extensive library. I do know that they have kept extensive records and it is likely that they would have information on the Serum Institute and possibly those who lived in the cottages.

Good luck with tracking down her grave and finding out more about Mary Ann.

The East Surrey Family History Society has transcribed all the monumental inscriptions on the gravestones and I have looked through the records but Mary Ann Hayter does not appear. Bear in mind that only those graves with headstones would have been recorded and she may not have had a headstone. In which case the grave will be unmarked and it will be difficult to find the grave unless you can obtain a plot number from the grave book and an accurate plan.

Is it possible that she was buried elsewhere?

Surrey / Re: 5 The Parade Coulsdon ?
« on: Friday 28 October 16 19:05 BST (UK)  »
Ah, all is now clear! Forget about Coulsdon, or even Old Coulsdon. Now you've told us his name I've looked at the electoral roll for Reginald Prout and can see that The Parade in question is actually in Hooley. It's some distance south of Coulsdon even though it's technically in the parish.

The post code is CR5 3EE and the shops in question aren't known as The Parade any more but are numbered into Brighton Road itself. 5 The Parade appears to be the shop that is now the Handmade Period Door Co. and is numbered 60 Brighton Road. I've found a photo of The Parade in 1937 that I've attached as well as a modern shot of the shops and you can see the shop with the prominent SALE sign over the window.

In the 1939 Register, the occupants are shown as Harold and Marjorie Turner. He was a Managing Clerk, Hardware and Domestic Stores, so the flat over the shop was obviously for the manager's use.
