The Common Room / Cause of death - any advice from medical types please?
« on: Saturday 23 October 21 22:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi, my gggfr Joseph William Bazalgette RN died in 1849 of "ulceration of mucous membranes causing atrophy'.  I have asked a few doctors what this was likely to be but nobody was too sure.  Mucous membranes of the throat or bowel presumably.  Perhaps an unrecognised cancer?   

Has anyone any ideas or has seen a C.O.D. like this which was more specific or could give a clue please?

TIA

Surrey / William Blake, sometime postmaster at Old Windsor
« on: Tuesday 23 February 21 21:35 GMT (UK)  »
I did a google search for him and there were some posts on Tapatalk about him but I didn't want to join that.   William married Ann Wickens (var. Wiggins) and their daughter Alice married Edward Lorkin.  Their daughter Edith Lorkin was my maternal grandmother who married Francis John Bonham.

I have a considerable genealogy of these families if anyone is interested of is looking for a connection.

London and Middlesex / BOUSTEADS
« on: Tuesday 17 November 20 22:54 GMT (UK)  »
Reaching out to any Boustead relatives.  The family was originally from Cumrenton, Cumberland, (farmers) but via the army eventually managed (by whatever means) to acquire land in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) where they grew coffee until my gggfr John was bankrupted by the coffee rust.  His son John Melvill (Jack) returned to Sri Lanka and restored the family fortunes somewhat by converting to tea, as well as establishing other enterprises including the Colombo Electricity and Tramway Company.

They were a pretty enterprising and colourful lot.  My ggmr Ethel Mary Boustead married my ggfr Charles Norman Bazalgette Q.C., which is my connection to them.  I have a quite extensive tree including many Bousteads so am happy to share.  I am posting here because most of my Bousteads  (when not in Sri Lanka) were based in the London area.

Best wishes and stay safe!

Canada / Koughs in Newfoundland
« on: Thursday 28 July 16 23:50 BST (UK)  »
Interested in Koughs in St Johns and other parts of Newfoundland.  Mine were originally from New Ross, Co. Wexford, where they shipped to and from St Johns.  Some settled there and they are likely to be my relatives.

Devon Lookup Requests / Ashburton Marriage - March 1941
« on: Thursday 10 March 16 22:50 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

If anyone has access to the parish registers for Ashburton I would be very grateful for an actual marriage date please.  Details:
Bride: Margaret Edith Bonham, previously Griffith
Groom - Deryck James Norman Bazalgette.

I wanted to avoid the high cost and long lead-time of a certificate if possible, as I am in Canada.

Many thanks,
Charles

Buckinghamshire / LORKIN in Winslow descendants
« on: Friday 27 June 14 20:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
My Lorkins come from Essex and I have an extensive tree for them but my gggfr Thomas Lorkin,
(b. Bocking, 1813, d, Winslow 1883) moved to Winslow and he and his wife Emma (nee Siggers) had nine children - Edward (my ggfr), Arthur, Clara, Charles, William, George, Walter, Emma and Ann.  Thomas was a butcher and publican and his son Walter seems to have carried on the butchery business.

I'm just curious if I have any cousins out there from this family.
Cheers.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / COMPLETED: Maurice Vampoulle
« on: Tuesday 17 July 12 16:40 BST (UK)  »
Anyone come across this fellow?
It appears he made ecclesiastical embroidered items like bishops' copes.
Probabably late 19C- early 20C
It would be interesting to know where he worked and anything else about him.
Maybe he was in London and would appear in censuses or directories?

Thanks as always!

London and Middlesex / Society of Genealogists?
« on: Thursday 02 February 12 21:05 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if someone who is a member of the SOG and is going there sometime (doesn't have to be soon) would be prepared to look at  and maybe take some pictures of a couple of volumes of family scrapbooks.  I suppose it would take about an hour.

If so, please send me a private message.

I'm happy to pay for your time.

Thanks a lot!
