Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: entry on 1921 census
« on: Saturday 08 October 22 18:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi, mckha,

I did see that but did not think it looked like Grady and could not see anything in 1939 - but have just realised I forgot to check for deaths.

Hi, Gadget,

I thought there was something between the Murrays, possibly starting with a G.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / entry on 1921 census
« on: Saturday 08 October 22 17:32 BST (UK)  »
Kate Palmer was born in 1895 in Collingbourne Kingston, Wiltshire, illegitimate daughter of Emily Alice Palmer.  Emily subsequently married Mr Bowley and then moved in with Mr Morey, who was using the surname Murray.
Kate Murray shows as the daughter of Joshua and Emily Alice Murray at Marnhull, Sturminster Newton, in 1911.
In 1921 she shows as still living with them and married.  The entry is attached below.  She is crossed through, so presumably has been wrongly entered.
Do you think the married surname is shown, and if so, what is it?

Thank-you

Thank-you for the fabric result.  One lives and learns.

Thanks for the picture, very useful.

However, why is that a rep costume/coat as distinct from a normal sort?

The Common Room / Rep Costume from 1924
« on: Thursday 06 October 22 14:31 BST (UK)  »
On the newspaper report of a wedding in 1924 the bride is wearing a 'brown rep costume, with hat to match.'
Searching for rep costumes in the newspaper archives gives quite a few matches, and I will post from an advert (of 1925) to confirm the spelling.  Looking on the internet gives lots of 'rep' as in 'holiday rep' hits.
Does anyone know what a rep costume was?

Thank-you

OK.

Lawrence in 1901  born Germany age 25   (Max)
Mc Lawrence in 1911  born Ferryhill  age 34   (Henry)
Lawrence in 1921 born Cardiff 44 years 9 months  (free search gave Harry, but is Henry)
Lawrence in 1939 birth 14/09/1876  (Henry W)

Hi, Eyesee,

You are absolutely right - in 1911 they have Mc in front of Lawrence - I had read that as a funny way of writing 'ditto', though there was no reason for a ditto.  I suppose, having seen the actual written marriage certificate where Max is completely separate from Lawrence and the father is just Lawrence I was just not seeing that.

Perhaps I should pay for the 1921 to see if the transcriber has made a similar (or different) error.

Thanks

Hi, maddys,
Thanks for looking.  I tried censuses for 'music and/or dealer' with few hits, forgot about newspapers, and could not decide what other terms he might use instead of music dealer.
Will see what I can do with a William in Lincoln and a John in Liverpool.

Hi, jomot,
Very interesting suggestion re McLawrence, will have a look.
