Hello,
Is anyone familiar with the Farnham (probably Ash or Tongham) area of Surrey? According to the electoral roll, Sidney Richard BADHAM and his wife Eva Dinah BADHAM were living at "Avedis, 1 Carfax" at the time of the 1937 and 1938 electoral registers. I'd like to know exactly where that address is please.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Judith

According to the BMD indexes, Alfred E Culverhouse died in Wallingford in the September quarter of 1914. This may be my missing great grandfather, Alfred Elias Culverhouse. Could anyone look up the burial for me please to see if a middle name is given? Many thanks,
Judith

Does anyone live in Ash who would be willing to photograph a grave for me please? I have a plan of the cemetery, the grave number and a detailed plan of the section the grave is in. Many thanks if anyone can help,
Judith

I’m looking for connections to John and Jane Gillson of Artillery Row, Westminster.

I have the birth certificate of John’s son William Gillson, who was born on 6 Feb 1859 in 2 Artillery Row, Westminster. John was a butcher journeyman, and his wife was Jane formerly Beazley.

The 1861 census shows John’s son William living with his grandparents (presumably John’s parents) at 36 Artillery Row, Westminster. The details are:
   William Gillson    Head 48 Labourer born St George’s Hanover Sq
   Ellen       Wife 54 born Middx St Pancras
   Walter       Son 24 Scholar born Middx St Geo Hanover Sq
   Eliza      Daur 26 Servant born Middx St Geo Hanover Sq
   Emma      Daur 16 born Middx St Geo Hanover Sq
   William      Grandson 2 born St Jno Westm
   George      Grandson 7 mo born St Jno Westm
   John Smith   (no relationship shown) 16 Messenger born St Jno Westm

I can’t find John and Jane in the 1861 census. I’ve tried searching all 39 images for 2 Artillery Row, where William was born, but I can’t find number 2. I can’t find John in the 1851 or 1841 censuses either, nor his birth or baptism, nor a marriage to Jane, nor any likely deaths for either of them.

I’ve found a William Gillson (John’s father?) aged 25 in the 1841 census, in St George Hanover Square, along with Eliza (30), Eliza (6) and Jane (4), but the image is barely readable. If this is the William who was 48 in 1861, he has a different wife. I can’t find this William (John’s father) in the 1851 census.

John’s son William married Mary Ann Lucas on 14 Oct 1884 in the Parish Church, Leyton. William was a Sea Man. His father John’s occupation was shown as a Shop Keeper. The marriage certificate doesn’t show John as ‘deceased’. Both witnesses were from the Lucas side of the family.

I’ve found Mary Ann Gillson, William’s wife, in 1891 along with 2 year old daughter Jane, but William’s name has been crossed out – perhaps he was at sea? I’ve found William and Mary Ann in 1901 – his occupation was ‘Sailor Seas’. I haven’t got them in 1911.

I’d be pleased to hear from anyone who has a link to this family.

My 2 times great grandfather William Culverhouse was born in Bath in 1811/12. I don't know anything about his parents as he had moved to Islington by 1836. Does anyone have a link to William?
Thanks,
Judith
