Evening all,

I'm having trouble tracking down my 2x great grandmother Ann Keen in the 1891 census.

Ann was born in Bloomsbury in 1874 to Stephen and Eliza.
In 1881 she's living with her widowed mother at 42 Kenton Street.
She marries in 1895, and gives her address as 324 Gray's Inn Road, Camden.

I've tried name variations eg Anne/Annie and some alternate spellings of Keen, but haven't had any luck as yet.

What am I missing?

Cheers!

Hi all,

I am looking for the final resting place of my 2x great grandmother Mabel Stinton, who passed away on the 3rd July 1931. I know from her hospital records that after her death her body was to be delivered to the undertaker at Holy Trinity Church, Hermon Hill, South Woodford. This is also the church she was married in.

Unfortunately the parish records at the ERO contain only baptisms and marriages for Holy Trinity, Hermon Hill, as there was no graveyard attached to the church. Searches of all three of the big monument inscription websites came up empty too.

How do I proceed with my search for the correct cemetery/burial record for Mabel?

Kind Regards

Evening all,

I'm currently researching my g g grandfather Charles William Stemman (1872 - 1948). Currently, I cannot find him in the 1901, or 1911 census. He was born and lived in the London area, but may have worked elsewhere. Here are the details I have for Charles and the family for the last 3 available census returns. Hopefully someone can fill in the blanks!

~~~~~~~~--------------

1891

Charles is 19, single, and a steam engine maker. He is living with his step mother and various siblings at 43 Kenton Street, St. George, Bloomsbury.

[Marriage to Ann Keen - 25 Dec 1895]

[Baptism of my g grandfather Thomas, address is 1 East Street, Bloomsbury. Charles is an engineer - Feb 1899]

1901

Whole family missing!

1911

Ann and various children are living at 67 Clinton Road, Tottenham. Charles is missing!

~~~~~~~~-------------

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

SJJ

Greetings to all,

I am currenly researching my great great grandparents from my maternal grandmother's side of the family. I have traced their lines back further, but would like to know more about this family in particular. My great great grandparents were Henry William Stinton and Mabel Constance Ayres. They seem to be from rather different backgrounds. Henry appears to be from a line of costermongers, and Mabel from a relative wealthy family of merchants and manufacturers. Below is the information I have manged to gather so far, as well as a few queries:

Information known so far:

Henry William Stinton born 30th Oct 1875 in Leyton, Essex to William Stinton and Fanny Gifford. William is recorded as being a licensed hawker. Towards the end of his life he is known as Harry.

Mabel Constance Ayrees born 19th Feb 1881 in Reading, Berkshire to Charles Ayres and Emma Sims. Charles is recorded as a brick manufacturer employing several men.

The marriage date is uncertain. There is a possible marriage between a Henry Stinton and a Mabel Ayres in 1900, however on the 1901 census Mabel Constance Ayres is listed as single. She can be found at an address in Streatham, London working as a draper's assistant with around 30 other women between the ages of 17 and 25. I cannot find henry on the 1901 census. There is another possible marriage in 1905, but his seems unlikely as my great grandmother was born in 1903.

From asking relatives we know the couple had 6 children. We think they were born in this order - Edith, Nellie, Henry/Harry, Florence, Alfred, Winnifred. We have guessed at dates for their births, the only certain birth is that of my great grandmother Nellie in 1903 in Woodford, Essex.

Mabel died in 1931 in Brentwood Mental Hospital in Essex. At the time the couple were living in South Woddford. Henry died in 1940 in Theydon Bois Essex. He was recorded under the name of Harry Stinton.

Questions:

When did Henry and Mabel get married, if they were married at all?
Can we verify the existance of all 6 children, by pinpointing their births?
When was mabel sent to mental Hospital, and what would the level of medical treatment have been like at that time?
Is it possible Mabel was simply suffering from depression rather than a more serious condition?

Notes:

I do have a tree with most of this information on ancestry, however as previously explained most of it is guess work. Also I am currently working in a gold mine in Kazakhstan until the end of August. This means I am 5 hours ahead of UK time, so replies may be at odd hours. Lastly, I only have internet access during office hours (mon-fri).

That's just about everything. Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

SJJ.
