Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Trying to find What happened to Eliza Whiteman
« on: Tuesday 23 April 24 09:44 BST (UK)  »
In 1921, they were at Hardys Row, Stanley Common, Stanley, Derbyshire.

A tree on Ancestry confirms that she married Joseph Crookes (1896-1965)

It also has pictures of Eliza, her first two husbands, and two children, Sydney and Edith Cresswell
Edith married William Vickers and they are probably the ones mentioned below:-

There are several memoriams in the Derbyshire newspapers after 1979:-

Derby Evening Telegraph, Monday, March 23, 1987
CROOKES, Eliza, March 22, 1979. -
 Gone are the days we spent together,
 But memories of you will last forever.
Sadly missed. - Bill, Edith and family

Also one for a Jane Calverley, although much earlier, in Speldhurst in 1738

Also has the above mentioned baptisms.

Cheshire / Re: Povar

There are other baptisms which give the place name, but they are all preceeded by Do: Do Rush Green, Do Lymm etc.

Those of John Leigh have a single word, and some look more like pavor: Ann in 1711 and Thomas in 1713

May be a different person, but one in 1712 has John son of John Leigh Do broomedge.

A couple of others have John Leigh Buchar (Butcher?), again no Do, as though they were distinguishing between two differnt people.
Mary, daughter of John Leigh Bucher in Jan 1717/8 follows after Thomas son of a Thomas Leigh paver in Oct 1717

Another in 1713 has Margaret d Thomas Leigh Rush Green (no Do but may be short of space) followed next day by Thomas son of John Leigh pavor, which could be a place or occupation.

A lot of trees have Thomas Hubbard, Chelsea Pensioner, who died in 1872.

His birth place is listed as Laughton and wife as Ann Muggleton, although some have Ann Woodcock.

There are some pictures of Edmund Packe in newspapers, although not very clear.

Leicester Chronicle 25th April 1953, when he moved into Dell House, near the hall. Also shows his son, Michael, and daughter, Margaret.

Leicester Chronicle 8th November 1958, with his dog.

Leicester Evening Mail 24th April 1961, following his death.

Something I missed.

Oliva is transcribed on the censuses as Parke, in Stretton Magna but the Hall isn't part of the address, with three children and five servants.

David

P.S. All of the servants give Stretton Hall as their place of work.

The family is on the 1921 images but, for some reason, not transcribed.

No Edmund, but there is an Olivia Packe, wife.

If you insert 'Stretton Magna' as the parish and 'Stretton Hall' in option keywords, it will give 12 results, with more on the main image.

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up please for Printers in Fleet Street circa 1920
« on: Friday 12 April 24 09:37 BST (UK)  »
Checking the 1921 census, quite a lot of people worked for a printing firm in Fleet Street, and all for A. H. Skinner at no. 3.

Alfred Henry Skinner is listed as an employer as was William Edgar Bunney.

One of the employees has what looks like Skinner & Bunny as the employer.
