London and Middlesex / Re: BLAIR James Walter

Hi

Can't see a second marriage in this country for Jessie. Presumably since there is a second marriage for John there was a divorce. He appears to have been the librarian for the London Hospital Medical School, also a military historian and a  'firm believer in the traditional English virtues and occasional accordion player'. He died in February 2000 John Patrick J Entract. Judging by the electoral registers he and Jessie had split by at the latest 1947 so a short marriage that didn't really out last the war. It looks like he married three times - again in 1973. There may have been a second divorce because his second wife died in 2009 and his third in 2003.

Hi

John P J Entract was born in 1915. There is a second marriage in 1957 for a John P J Entract. He wrote at least one book.

Hi

According to his death registration he was aged 42 and born 2nd May 1957. His birth registration is on FreeBMD. It should be possible to track him back from there.

Hi

Suicide and attempted suicide were viewed by the law as a crime until 1961. Coroners' juries attempted to mitigate the law, which had serious consequences for both the burial of the suicide and their family, particularly pre C19th, and brought in verdicts of unsound mind. Such a verdict absolved the suicide both in the eyes of the law and the church.

It could be viewed as a perfectly reasonable outcome that if your husband was having a long standing affair you might become increasingly depressed. A husband and a male dominated medical profession which at the time still had some very antiquated views about women and their mental stability, might view such a depression as 'a mental imbalance', but it's difficult to know over time which preceded which Miriam's 'mental imbalance' or the affair.

There was an administration 2nd May 1956 of Miriam Edith's estate taken out by James Walter. The estate was valued at £359 2s 9d.
James Walter Blair's will was probated 4th April 1963. The executor was Albertina Ruppen a spinster.

An Albertina Ruppen died aged 72 in Westminster in May 1986. If Albertina was not a British citizen she wouldn't appear on the electoral roll.

London and Middlesex / Re: John Pittman bc1803, 'Lock keeper' St Mary, Islington

Hi

A Mary Pittman was buried 15th December 1863 at Islington Cemetery. There is one other person buried in the grave so a private grave. It doesn't however seem as if it could be a John Pittman.
John Pittman buried 24th November 1869 in Camden cemetery is buried with 15 others so most likely in a common grave.
Mary Pitman was buried in Camden cemetery 19th June 1866 in a grave with 12 others.
