London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Frances Gurney - b.1797 (prob.) St James's, Westminster
« on: Tuesday 28 April 20 16:53 BST (UK)  »
Does anybody please share a birth record with my ancestors in Westminster.  I am looking for date of baptism and parentage of a FRANCES GURNEY or GUNNING born about 1797. She married an Edward Goldsmith there on 16 January 1825. 

  • her first child: Frances was baptised 1822 in St Margaret, Westminster.
  • Later children: Anne, Jane Sarah and Edward born in Staines.


All censuses prove shed lived much longer than her two husbands as died as Mrs. Frances Minton in 1875, buried in Staines (as married in Hanwell in 1836, as widowed with very young children).  Anglican as far as all baptisms, weddings and burials show.

Thanks

London and Middlesex / Frances/Fanny Goldsmith b. in London "1823"
« on: Sunday 20 May 18 17:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi all!

I have a marriage registration (but no Kingston marriages parish records - does anyone have access to look at these...) and a +/- 1 year birth date and exact death date for Frances Barnes (her married name). Her maiden name is Frances or Fanny Goldsmith.  Where was she born and to whom?  (does anyone have access to London parishes birth registers)?  The main census contender (on 8/6/1841) does not seem to give birthplaces unless anyone has a full transcript:

"Institution" Drury Lane, St Giles in the Fields
Mary Goldsmith      F   55-59   Middlesex
Mary Goldsmith      F   15-19   Middlesex
Fanny Goldsmith   F   15-19   Middlesex
Joseph Garratt      M   25-29   
Robt Painter      M   15-19

"Institution" Penny Fields All Saints Poplar
[many others and...]
John Parr      M   35-39   Not Known
Geo Webster   M   60-64   Scotland
John Ryan      M   25-29   Not Known
Fanny Goldsmith   F   16-20   Middlesex

This is not going to be easy. It will require an expert like you! as  the 1851 census puts her birthplace down as London and she did not live until the 1861 census. 

Helpful basics:
   
Thomas Barnes, a carpenter
1819 Chertsey, Surrey – 1864 Staines, Middx
lived single in 1841 (wife had first child early 1843) and was with Mary Gardner in Church Street Staines whilst a carpenter's apprentice, simy. William Gardner & Joseph Wooden
wife:
Frances
1823 +/- 1 year"London" – 1854 Staines, Middx

I have scoured the register index and found the marriage, having carefully ruled out two feasible others by looking at censuses.

Marriage Dec Qtr 1841  : Kingston    4   199
BARNES      Thomas              
GOLDSMITH    Fanny

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Two Marriages? 1923-1955
« on: Saturday 19 July 08 15:40 BST (UK)  »
Please help, this side of my family has been really well covered up and was kept from me for a long time.

I am looking for the marriage of Edith E (previously unofficially Wrenn up to 1920s, Penfold from 1916 and previously Buxton from birth) who having married a Mr Jennings, died in Dec Quarter 1956:

Edith E Jennings  72  Croydon 5g p88 on 18/12/1956 in Mayday Hospital.

When was her marriage - it was in London I think as Mr Jennings was a Londoner.  They married PROBABLY between 1930-1950.

I don't know his first name, but if you could find the death of a Mr Jennings who died between 1954 and 1960 in Croydon or Wandsworth it might help in your search as this is when he died I think.  I think his name was Albert/Alfred.

I have the death certificate, she died in Mayday hospital and Edith's daughter registered it. 

As Edith had children from a Mr Wrenn (but did not marry him as he stayed married to a different woman), there are four surnames she went by in her life - I wouldn't be surprised to find a fifth! e.g.

Marriages Mar 1925   
Penfold  Edith E  Barclay  Brentford  3a 239

Did an Edith E  Barclay marry a Jennings??  or is there another marriage for an Edith E Penfold anyone can find after 1923.
any answers?
Chris

I don't know his first name, but it might have begun with A apparently.  He also may have married and died in Wandsworth district.
