Essex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Lorne Road Cemetery Brentwood, Grave Lookup Please
« on: Monday 13 October 08 18:50 BST (UK) »
I visited this cemetery today at about 4pm. I could see no signs about opening times. Pedestrian access seems possible at any time. The cemetery is not very big so, relatively, there are not many graves. I saw no office to give help nor anyone working in the grounds. The vegetation is under control.
I looked round most of the cemetery looking for clues on the headstones as to how the graves were organised but saw no clues i.e. on none of the headstones that I randomly looked at did I see any that marked with any letter let alone any with letter C.
Do you know of any plan to the cemetery layout?
I am willing to return for another go

I'm pretty sure that the parish registers fro Southwatk are held at the London Metropolitan Archive, Northampton Road, EC!. I can't be certain because their website is, at the time of writing, not available. But when it is up you should be able to check it out for sure
The website is back online. If you just google LMA it should be 4th hit. Click on that and follow the link for London Generations and follow instructions there. Loads of registers for Saint George Southwark
You may also be interested in link to the digitisation project with Ancestry referred to on that site

Suffolk / Re: LEGGETT/SCRUTTON - Where From Here?

I confused myself bit here. I thought some of your Leggets (e.g. William) might have stayed in Stratford/West Ham.
Workhouses may have been awful places overall but they did usually include an infirmary for the sick so that might have been why Mary Ann ended her days in the workhouse.

I've just stumbled across this topic again and have noticed that you had traced John and Honor Leggott (or Legget(t) etc) in 1841/1851/1861 census.
What was their address in any of those census and did John work as a gardener for a big house?

Eastwood Road, Goodmayes is not far from another psychiatric hospital called Goodmayes Hospital which, I believe, is still functioing as a psychiatric hospital though on a much smaller scale than in the 1950s.
It is possible that she lived with a member of her family towards the endof her life or was considered to be capable of living in some kind of sheltered accommodation which would have been remarkably enlightened for the 1950s

If you go to Essex RO website (just google SEAX) logon as a Guest, click on 'Image' at right, enter 'Duke' in search box.
You should get 3 pages of hits (not all of which ae relevant to you) but have a look at I/LS/CFD/0050 which shows a good portion of the correct end of Duke Street but is it enough, I don't know....
There is another pic of Duke St which looks as if the end of the world was nigh...

"In the photo on the Leonard Gray website (pity it's so small!!), would I be right in thinking that the 'gap' where No 75 would have been is at the end nearest the photographer"
That's right
