administration London 28th july to charlotte Elizabeth spice his widow in the amount of £348-16s-0d

it looks like Charlotte had moved out of the family home by 1881 - she would have been 17 and would    be working - if we have the right parents / baptism - Sarah the mothers maiden name was Ely ..
so - Alfred Double married Sarah Ely  1864 mar qtr at Samford ,Suffolk 4a 731
so it looks like Charlotte Elizabeth Double was the first born ....

Wozzle - should that read 1871 and not 1891 ??...typo...
added....ha ha ....right ...Charlotte and Edwins family in 1891 ...that`s good
so we know Claud was not born in USA and emigrated over there after 1891 ...is Claud in 1901 census ??

there is a claude leopald spice setting sail for new York and he appears on the us federal census in 1930 and 1940 he also appears in the new York city census in 1925
unfortunately I do not have full access to these censuses so cannot tell you who he was with at the time
