I am really on the hunt for any further information to fill in the gaps about the elder brother of Siegfried Sassoon, Michael Thornycroft Sassoon (14/10/1884-1/12/1969). I know he attended the New Beacon, then Malvern and Clare.
Now there is a fair amount out there, which I have seen on Ancestry and I have confirmed, but I am just curious where he was post-Clare and during the Great War, his occupation etc.
It seems he didn't join up with Hamo and Siegfried. He has children (1909, 1910 and 1920) but I don't know where he was based. Abroad? He does not show on electoral rolls for several years and so there's a bit of a gap between 1911 and 1939. He was a farmer and a pilot, but I'm curious for anything else between 1911 and 1939, including the 1911 census.
Hopefully some of you wonderful people have some alternative places to look him up.
Thanks in advance.
 

The 1939 register was, I thought, to be taken on National Registration day, 29th September 1939, and yet looking up boarders in a school, I have discovered that their 1939 register to be dated 16th September 1939. It seems they weren't too rigid about the date, or was it different for schools? Anyone know the reason why this was earlier?

Any help please would be greatly appreciated. I am researching the old boys from The New Beacon School, in Sevenoaks, who died in WWI and WWII (T G Meautys died shortly after but is on the roll of honour board).
Thomas Gilliat Meautys attended The New Beacon along with his two half brothers (R B Spread and G P Spread), who later attended Wellington. They too were killed.
I would love to know what school he went on to. He was an acting Major, sometimes listed as Captain.
I think he went to a different senior school to his half brothers but cannot find him... hopefully you may have some suggestions or would be able to help. I thought I had discovered him at St. Alban's but this T G Meautys was listed for 1937, which would not fit with his DoB.
His details are:
b. 29/04/1915
d. 21/09/1947 Italy
14th/20th Kings Hussars
Mother was a Nell Hotblack.
Father died in WWI before he was born.
He had two half brothers, surname Spread, who attended Wellington.

This builds on an old thread, but I thought after MANY years of trying to solve this I was finally there. Here is one of the old threads with a lot of detail.

So Herbert Janvrin Vincent and Agnes maiden name Friedberg have proven to be really difficult to track down, or more specifically their deaths. Their children survive but there are no stories in the family about what happened to them. They are my GG Grandparents so not exactly that long ago.
A quick summary of the key facts:
Herbert Janvrin Vincent born 1855, listed as deceased on his son's marriage in 1903, seems to go off record in the 1880s, along with his wife, the boys safely recorded in 1891 in Jersey with grandparents but no parents.
I finally thought I had a record, initially I thought two deaths at sea but I think they are referring to the same person.
There is a death 19 May 1900 but logged in BT334 August 1900. I actually went to see it at the National Archives because the address was fuzzy, they agreed and let me see the original and the address is 109 Louisville Road Balham. They had previously lived near Croydon so it is not that far to Balham. However, this is what is perplexing. I looked up 109 Louisville Road on Land Registry and the freehold is listed as 01.02.1901, does that mean it was built then? Old maps, i.e. 1890s OS have Louisville marked out as a road but with no houses on it. So was their address 109 Louisville? I had hoped I may have seen a name listed on the Land registry but there wasn't. Any ideas how to get more info on that? when it was built etc. Who first owned it?
The info listed on the BT334 Deaths at Sea on Find My Past does fit... JH is corrected H J. He was born in Yorkshire in 1855 not 1856, but one year out isn't that bad. And the extended family were known to travel, often doing the Lord's work... loads of Reverencs in the family at that time.

I am trying to track down some Stantons in the 1861 but I am having no luck.

I am trying to get a little more on Richard  Stanton b. circa 1802 Northamptonshire (Woodford) and family


m. Hannah Higham
1803–

children:
Sarah Stanton 1827–
Valentine Stanton 1829–
William Stanton 1832–
Emma Stanton 1835–
Jane Stanton 1838–
Annie Maria Stanton 1841–1923 this is my link

BIRTH..
Ann Maria Stanton (name as stated on the Birth cert.) born..27 March 1841 - reg. Hornsey and Highgate.   Father- Richard Stanton – Labourer.   Mother – Hannah (formerly Higham) both parents are from Woodford Northamptonshire.
 
MARRIAGE...
Annie (?) Maria Stanton, minor (she would have been 20) Spinster.. Father Richard Stanton ..Gardener.    Married..George Lloyds, minor ( he would have been 19) Bachelor.. Printing Ink maker... Father William Christopher Lloyds..Printing ink maker.
On the 4th August 1861, at The Parish Church, Islington..Both  residing at Hornsey Road.  Witnesses were Hannah’s brother William  Stanton and her sister Jane Jenkins.
 
Daniel Higham, AM’s cousin was living with George and Ann Maria in 1871, he later worked in an Ink factory, which I would imagine was with the Lloyds.
 
I have the Stanton's in the 1841 census, and in 1851 they are living at 5 Hooper st, Parish of St Mary, Islington. Sarah and Emma (married Samuel Hill) are not living with them.

I dont have the ‘61 census but that has proven to be hard to find.

Valentine Stanton, AM’s brother, sadly ended his life in a Workhouse, records show that he was in and out of the Islington workhouse from 1876 to 1896 where he died.

Anyone who can help that would be lovely...
