Your relative was dressed in sackcloth (etc), I know there are many references (esp biblical) to "sackcloth and ashes", and I understand dressing in sackcloth as showing yourself to be 'umbled, but what is with the "ashes"?

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Struggling to start

Hi
Where does this old query fit in?

"I am asking for a bit of help. On the death certificate of Glorie Cecilia
De MONTI MONTGOMERY in 1967, age 75, in Bournemouth, the death was
registered by what looks like A E M De MONTI MONTGOMERY. This person gave
an address of 701 Endsleigh Court, Upper Woburn Place, London WC1.

I am trying to trace 2 sisters who in 1935 were living in Pitsea, Essex and
may have moved. Can anyone tell me where the electoral rolls would be held
that cover Upper Woburn Place, London WC1, and if possible if someone could
have a look for me, that would be wonderful. I am trying to discover who A
E M De MONTI MONTGOMERY was and figure out their relationship to Glorie
Cecilia. Sadly the death certificate does not state the full name or
relationship and only states that they caused the body to be buried."

Regards
Ray

London and Middlesex / Re: Collington ,Middlesex

Hi all

Deb asked me to post the (jpg) extract from the certificate.

Firstly,
so that the people can satisfy themselves that the word really is "Collington".

Secondly,
to ask views on whether the marriage date (24 May) is 1814 or 1874.
To me the clue really is that FxxxBxD shows a marriage for
W.E.W. in q2 Ken 1a 101 in 1874.

But don't let me sway you.

Hi

There's a marriage in 1840 of a Robert Knight in Hatfield.
Have you any other details to go on?

Hi

I agree with Maddie, it's FORD mis-transcribed as Finch.

I wonder if the Cart & Horses served the HUGE steaks then that  they're famous for?   :-)
