Richard

Kate Constance Prior

1871–1953
BIRTH 1871 • Woodstock Oxfordshire

DEATH JAN 1953 • Sheffield, Yorkshire West Riding, England

She was baptised twice

11 Sep 1871 • Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England

Again on 12th April 1887 along with brother John James.

I believe she is my great grand aunt, sister of my great grandmother Mary Ann Prior Hemmings

BIRTH 21 APRIL 1867 • Tackley Oxfordshire
DEATH 14 MARCH 1941 • Brook Hill Woodstock


Two of her younger sisters Alice Amelia and Ellen Edith followed her to Sheffield 10/15 years after she married here.

Hertfordshire Lookup Requests / Walter George Gravestock b 1883
« on: Monday 06 December 21 18:52 GMT (UK)  »
I am doing a tree for a friend and I came across a bit of a puzzle regarding Walter George Gravestock b 1883

I found two marriages, one to a Florence Eleanor and another to Florence E but 15 years apart.

Jun 1906   Gravestock  Walter George    H. Hempstead  3a 1425    Gregory  Florence Eleanor    H. Hempstead  3a 1425

I am assuming that this is the correct one going by the DOB for son Harold Walter b 1907 which I know to be correct.

But I also found this!

Dec 1921    Penney  Florence E           Walter Gravestock  Watford  3a 1915   

Is this just purely coincidence or a different Walter?

Can anyone shed any light on this please?

Thanks

There is a Charles Taylor of the right approx age living with grandparents in 1851 - and born Bletchingdon. There is also a 'daughter' Hannah Taylor unmarried - aged 25 in the household. The family are living in Bletchingdon.

Maybe - just maybe Hannah is his mother.

Thanks :)

Very little info given to base any search on

Use freebmd info to check for mothers maiden name on GRO then use it to look for parents marriage

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/Login.asp

You “believe he married Sarah Brogden about 1873”. Did you check freebmd to confirm it?

You have posted on the Oxford board -how do you know he was born in Oxford -what census have you found him on & have you looked for him on earlier censuses

Found on 81/91/01/11 census born Bletchington on all of them.
I found the marriage on BMD

Thanks

I believe he was married to Sarah Brogden abt 1873 in Abingdon.

Just noticed on Alice's death certificate  that husband George F was a commercial trapper!
Out of interest what might he have been trapping?

You will have no doubt noticed that next door to the Fitchett's there are lots of Priors but I can find none of them that are related, although I guess they must be!
Too much of a coincidence not to be.
None of them are born in Woodstock though.

Five years earlier (1896) Alice's sister Mary Ann Prior Hemmings gave birth to my grandmother just a few miles away in Cowley Road Workhouse.
