London and Middlesex / Maude Whitecombe, engaged 1901 - a mystery
« on: Thursday 03 June 10 01:25 BST (UK)  »
I found a notice in a Finnish newspaper from 19th April 1901 announcing that my great-grandfather's brother Anders Johan Leopold Norrgren was engaged to Miss Maud Whitecombe, London.

I have never heard of her before, and he never married her - he married miss Edith/Roberta Massey-Lawless three years later.

I wonder if somebody could help me find out what happened? Who was Maud Whitecombe? Did they cancel the engagement? Or did she die?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / COMPLETED: Edith or Florence Massey-Lawless, married 1904
« on: Thursday 03 June 10 01:19 BST (UK)  »
I would be grateful for information on Edith or Florence (or Florence Edith?) Massey-Lawless, the wife of Finnish Consul General in London Anders Johan Leopold Norrgren.

According to a notice in a Finnish newspaper they married 23rd September 1904 in London. She lived as a widow in London in 1952. They had no children.

I wonder if anybody would be able to tell me when and where she was born, who her parents were, and any other information.

I am also interested to know when her husband died.

England / Johanna Olivia Robertson, b. 1863. Found her - in Sweden!
« on: Friday 05 February 10 22:29 GMT (UK)  »
The wife of my relative Hjalmar Amadeus Lindedal (1848 - 1928, Vänersborg, Sweden) was Johanna Olivia Robertson, born somewhere in England on November 21st 1863. She married Hjalmar Amadeus on November 23rd 1881 and died in Vänersborg July 19th 1945.

I have no clues as to where in England she was from. I would be grateful for any information on her or her parents!
