Hi Mary

Thanks for the invite but I really think you have covered everything above and beyond the call of duty!!

I will just add my humble offering re: Maude Lushington Collis b 1865/66 - this may be her death

Maud L Collis aged 80 March qtr 1946 Surrey North Eastern Volume 2a Page 38

This is looking like the right one
Marriage of Emily I Heald Q2 1916 Chertsey, Surrey 2a 125 to Waldegrave Mcg Eager

This looks like a Waldegrave Mac Gillicuddy Eager who was born in 1884 in Cornwall.  His father was an Alexander Richard Eager, Clerk in Holy Orders, born Ireland.

I wonder if Emily and Waldegrave went abroad as I can find no evidence of either children or his death in this country.

Problem is Carole I can't bring it forward to finding a living person to be made aware of the grave

Just found a great site - http://www.gravestonephotos.com/public/findfamily.php?name=Heald
This wonderful man has taken photographs of gravestones in lots of places around the country, and in his list is Walter Marsden Heald who appears to have died in 1957 age 72 and is buried in St Andrews, Aldringham, Suffolk.  I've sent a request for a photograph of the gravestone, wonder if it will hold any details of others buried in the same grave?

He's also mentioned here http://www.archive.org/stream/innertemplarswho00inne/innertemplarswho00inne_djvu.txt as a member of the Inner Templars who volunteered and served in the great war.  Need to go looking to see if I can find his service records, might be mention of a wife.

I think contacting this website might useful to you http://www.healds.org.uk/bm/e1900_CHS.html  There is a huge amount of Healds research transcribed on the site and the owner would appear to be a Heald himself. 

There are mentions of Isabel Julia Krabbe, who we found on a census with the Healds, and she appears to have married a Walter Heald, also mentions of the Eagers on the site.  I suspect the owner should be able to put you in touch with whoever has provided those details/transcriptions and this may give you a living relative of Alexander and Sarah.

Good morning Mary,

Can't believe how much effort you are putting into this for me you are very kind. There is an amazing amount of information here since I last looked yesterday, in response to which is an entry which confirms Sarah's parents and marriage to Alexander which may be useful.

I've received photographs of the grave of Walter Marsden Heald, which I've asked permission to display on here, so I'll do this when I've had permission, but unfortunately there are no other names on the headstone, so presumably nobody else sharing the grave.  As I've found no marriage for him I think this may confirm that he wasn't married so no issue ......

I will look further into other possible descendants later today, but I think that we are nearing the point where you will need to approach other Heald researchers who may be the descendants you need, the easiest way via the link I posted in my last message.

I need to make a note of the 1861 entry for the Healds as there appears to be more of them, although a distinct absence of Ernest who I was looking for later.
