« on: Monday 07 January 19 20:33 GMT (UK)  »
I have found via ancestry.co.uk that two of my ancestors were admitted to a work house in 1856 aged 12 and 10
would there be any reports available on  their circumstances.

Arthur Keyte  1844 and Robert Keyte 1846

Arthur was also admitted on an earlier occasion with two other siblings in the 1840s .

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Help with finding a birthdate for William Keyte
« on: Wednesday 19 December 18 18:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I am looking to add to some information I have on William Keyte burial in 1788 at ST Botolph Aldgate.  He was recorded as a Gent at his marriage by licence to Anne Phillips in Arley then Staffordshire now vWorcestershire in 1771.   He had two children christened at Arlen Church. Maybe there were more but it seems the family had business in 15 Minories City of London.  Are there death certificates for this period . Are there business directories for this period too.  He was a Tallow Chandler and his son Arthur succeeded him in the business as an Apprentice within The Guild of Tallow Chandlers

Other Countries / Missing persons to fit the puzzle
« on: Monday 03 December 18 16:24 GMT (UK)  »
This revolves around a grandmother who was born married in India and who had 3 children.
The family story is that her husband  left India l and never returned .

We have not been able to find either man or woman.

How do I find them.   I know records are difficult in India

I understand the wife and mother remained in India.  Her sisters travelled but no record of her on passenger lists

There are no baptism records for the 3 children .   Neil, Austin,  Jessica 

Neil Douglas Warren Parkinson  joined the Navy. He was born in 1922/24. Followed by Austin and Jessic believed to have died at birth.  The the father Percival St John  Jarvis Parkinson left

He married Merle Esme Guise in 1921   Her birth year was 1902. There is a family photo.
This was Percival Parkinson’s 2nd marriage .

Neil is now dead and there is no one to ask for further details about his parents or brother despite a lot of searching .

Guidance would helpful. I have searched ancestry . Co uk and find my past  website



My ancestor was baptised later in life to join the Navy in 1944 at Fort William

Durham Lookup Requests / Death in Gateshead
« on: Tuesday 13 November 18 18:36 GMT (UK)  »
I have stumbled across a problem which needs some solving

Lydia Keyte  born in 1805 in Aldgate High Street and baptised at St Dunstan Stepney
She later married as a Minor in 1825 in the absence of parents who had recently died.
Pallots Marriage Index shows the record of marriage to Stephen Keyte  born 1803
Gentleman of 15 The Minories

There is a record of her on the 1841 abnd 1851 census living in London

No further records until I found a record of her death in 1865 in Gateshead
She is also recorded as being in an assylum Borsham in Gateshead in 1857 to 1859

Did she live in Gateshead pre this assylum stay

Also in 1868 there is a record of her will probate when she left money to Stephen Keyte of 215 Shoreditch   

He was by this time nearing his own death in 1870 but had meanwhile acquired another wife  Mary Ann  and a number of children.  I have not found a record of marriage
altho recorded she was a wife on the 1851 census.

Was there divorce in those days

Does any one have any records of Borsham and on the 1861 Census in Gateshead, Durham for Lydia Keyte nee Bingley
