You clever girl!  Well it seems to be Gullan, but obviously everything is written by the same Registrar, shame death certs aren't like marriage ones where the bride and groom sign - if they can.

As the discoverer of Mrs Skirricker's real name, I think we need avm's help to find out who on earth Ann Gullan is.

Hi

I've found Ann Gullan ...after much searching for Anns and Gul* I decided to find Uncle John and Nat in 1851 again ...they were at 9 Richmond buildings.... 

In the next 'room' ...

They are transcribed as GEEHAN  ...we would never have found them with that!!!!

LOL. Thanks for the namecheck. Have just found my way back to the thread after being reminded of Matthew Ward & co's existence when looking recently at Land Tax records naming my 5x great grandfather George Pierce (a jeweller, died 1839), also of 9 Richmond Buildings.  Matthew Ward and George Pierce were both listed (often adjacently) as occupants of 9 Richmond Buildings which was Crown Land assessed over the years for land tax; e.g. in 1825 each man's tenement was assessed for £3 6s 8d.

Anyway - Deb has done the honours on Ann G.  Good stuff

Brilliant work, Deb! I do believe that Rootschatters can find anything. That's a really good find with the death certificate, Ruskie, it was worth getting I think.

avm, I'm  a bit ignorant about how land tax works...does that mean that they owned their rooms? Or did they pay tax for rented rooms? Great find however it works.

  ... thanks

Hi avm ...nice to see you again!

Hi Aniseed  ...ditto 


I see Edward and Ann Gullan in 1841 at Windmill Street, St Pancras. Name spelled properly this time!

There were a lot of people at 9 Richmond Buildings in 1851.
