London and Middlesex / St Botolphs churchyard
« on: Saturday 11 April 20 17:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am looking for the death and, or burial of Richard Hannam. He has become a very high and solid brick wall to me.
A brief history I located him in St James's Street Westminster through to poll tax books and established that he had had his shop there from about 1774 till about 1785 which seems to be when he retired. his wife was called Elizabeth ? date of marriage ?. I can find nothing about where Richard came from before he had his shop. the info that I do have is the names of all his children, dates of  their birth and Baptism but little else he is just a mystery.

What I have found which may help is a burial in Aldgate Middlesex Saint Botolphs Parish which states that he or someone with a similar name died in 1822  and was born 1732  which makes him the ripe old age of 90 which is a good age for those times and I would like to rule it in or out.

The problem that I have is that the surname on the burial has the name  spelt H?Pman  which I assume is erosion. which is a good likeness for his name but I would like more proof that it is him, the dates would fit but again the are only estimates based on the ages of his children, born from 1758 to 1769 in St James Westminster.

If anyone can suggest a course of action or any thing else it would be appreciated I do not seem to be able to turn up any info on aldgate cemetery.

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Missing location
« on: Monday 10 July 17 14:04 BST (UK)  »
I have a will dated 1813 for a William Hannam of Bermondsey London in which he has made various bequests. Two of these bequests are to his sister Ann Barker and his brother Richard Hannam both of Greenhill in the county of York. Below is a copy of part of the will, the problem I have is that I cannot find a location for Greenhill. The only one I found was near Norton in Sheffield, Can anyone help or suggest an alternative.

Survivors Upon Trust to sell and dispose of the same
as soon as conveniently may be after my decease and to pay out third
part of the money arising therefrom unto my Sister Ann Barker of
Greenhill in the County of York and the remaining two third parts thereof
unto my Brother Richard Hannam of Greenhill aforesaid And I direct
that the Receipt of my said Trustees and their Survivors shall be a sufficient

Thanks

Wiltshire / Calne BMD Transcripts
« on: Wednesday 07 September 16 16:08 BST (UK)  »
Do anyone know where I can get a copy of the transcripts of Calne Baptism records, either to view or preferably to purchase on CD? It is the very early ones that I am after. Ancestry and FindMyPast have some but the early ones  seem to be missing

Thanks

I am trying to decipher the last word in the line of a burial entry for Robert Hannam.

I have underlined the word, it looks like it reads Robert Hannam of K-r- but not being familiar with Dorset I was looking for help please. (It is a snip from Gillingham burial reg)

The attached photo has recently come into my possession and I wondered if anyone could shed any light on who they are and what is happening. I know very little about the photo except,

The man on the left is Bernard Lee Collins who died aged 67 in Dec 1956 and worked at Samuel Osborn Steels in Sheffield as a Metallurgist.

I wondered if it could be some sort of retirement do in 1954, the clothes look about right other than that I am stuck.

Does anyone recognise any of the other two men or have any suggestions at all please

Thanks
