I've realised I had a typo in my previous post in the newspaper item about Stephen's death. ...smoking his pie... should have been ...smoking his pipe.... Small typo, big difference. 


I've found Stephen's burial as well...

St Margaret, Barking
No. 322
01 Apr 1888
Stephen Attridge
of Barking
58 years
Note: buried in cemetery

Still no sign of Kitty. I have had a look in asylums in census' but didn't find anything.


Also, just to confirm lizdb's reasoning about Isaac Rainbird and Catherine/Kitty Smith. They married in Great Canfield in 1847 and Catherine was a spinster, 19, and the daughter of William Smith.

Brilliant, thank you! Warners are a pain in the backside. They weave a very tangled web. Dunmow Warners are my direct clan. Everyone was called John, or so it seems!

I've just been reading through this interesting post and just wondered if perhaps Stephen and Kitty's marriage was a disaster from the start and they parted soon after.

I've noticed a Mrs K Attridge on the passenger lists index. I don't subscribe to ancestry, but if anybody does, perhaps it's worth a look to see if she went abroad.
