Hi all,
I have identified a 'street' that appears in 1841 and 1851 censuses called Winks Buildings. I have identified it on a map (1862) where it is shown as a street off Turks Row in Chelsea. There is a cluster of Winks residing in the immediate vicinity. My first thought was that the 'buildings' were owned by a Winks and so I tried cross-referencing the names of residents from the 1841 census on the Land Tax Valuations list pre 1841 but without success. I know it exists in 1834 as I have a burial record with the address, as well as an arrest in 1834, reported in The Examiner.
Any ideas?

Hi all. I have a marriage Allegation 1771 in Westminster where the age of the groom is given as '26 and upwards' and the bride '21 and upwards'. Is this the equivalent of 'of age' in later marriages? Was there a different 'of age' for men and women?
Thanks

Hi. I have burial records in St James Piccadilly in 1740. They simply list names of the deceased with date of burial. Then following the names there is an annotation - a 'C' (probably the most common), an 'M' or an 'N'. e.g. John Doe C

Any ideas what the annotations mean?
Thanks

Thanks for the clarification. Next stop Kew....

Thanks, Stan. I've found a reference at the National Archives. It seems that the plaintiffs were "infants by .(name)... spinster their next friend." My person of interest was a defendant with 2 others. Unfortunately the records are not digitised so have to be viewed on site.
I'm curious what "their next friend" meant as it seems to refer to the mother.
