So sorry Jacob Henry didn't make a new will. Unless Julia found it and burnt it.
I think she did!
Anyway good to have it RP, if only to tie up loose ends

The Common Room / Re: Henry C. Hamblin
« on: Wednesday 02 August 23 12:36 BST (UK) »Thanks jonw65, really helpful. I drew an almost immediate blank with 1875 Will application .
Big silence re. 1874 application so far. Hopefully get a response this week as going away.
If another blank drawn , will request a second look at this 1874 one , via their (microfilm?) typed image clearly stating 1974 & potential culprit towards past error, in that all evidence points to 1875 death.
Hi RP
Where did you get 1875 from?
This is the BMD index details for his death
Jacob Henry Hamblen 46 died Sep qtr 1874 Pancras District Vol 1b Pg 42
Also
London Evening Standard, 3 Sep1874
DEATHS
Hamblen - Aug 10, of apoplexy, Jacob Henry Hamblen, in his 47th year.
Therefore the 1874 probate record should be correct

Despite the wrong age I think Harry Hamblin is highly likely to be yours, especially as he is a boarder which can lead to wrong details or maybe he lied about his age. Does he give correct age on later censuses?
To answer my own question in 1901 says he is 28 but in 1911 he states he is 42 - so some confusion there.

Just for completeness -
Julia Hamblin is living at 14 Gloucester Rd (the same address as she is living at when Jacob Henry Hamlin dies in 1874) in 1871, 81 and 91 - in household of Charles Saxton (transcribed as Sartow in 1871) solicitor born 1813. In 1871 her grandmother Sarah Hawkins is also there (as she is in 1861).
Julia remarried in 1896 to Walter Lethbridge - I think a very shakey Charles could be a witness.
As she is at 14 Gloucester Rd in 1871 it does suggest she left Jacob Henry.
There is also a London Gazette entry for 1866 for bankruptcy for Jacob Henry Hamblin

Yes, it says he was born 17 June 1879
But he was registered as Samuel William!
COLLINS, SAMUEL WILLIAM
Mother's Maiden Surname: HAMBLER
GRO Reference: 1879 S Quarter in ST GILES Volume 01B Page 645
He is with Samuel and Maria in 1891 as Willie age 12, so I think he must be the William who appears with them in 1881 with wrong age given. He marries Julia Davies in 1908 as William Samuel Police constable in Clerkenwell. He is with Julia in 1911 as William and in 1939 as Samuel W (birthdate 18 June 1879). Not sure what the Henry was about!

Bedfordshire / Re: CARVER Ramblings Part 2
« on: Friday 28 April 23 15:01 BST (UK) »
Hi Trudy
Yes I descend from the Wrestlingworth Bedfordshire Carvers and started both this and the previous Carver Ramblings thread. There is masses of information but it does take a lot of wading through!
I can't actually remember where Benjamin fits in, but don't think any connection has been established between him and my lot.
