My wife's grt aunt Eliza Sibthorpe (1869 Romford) and grt grandmother Rosina Sibthorpe (1854 Romford) were sisters (stating the obvious). I have Eliza in the 71, 81 & 91 census still at family home, Gidea Hall Stables, Hare St, Romford. But then I lose her.
I have a marriage record which states - William Pomroy spouse Sibthorpe, other Rosina Sibthorpe dated 1917 1st quarter 4a 722 in Romford.
I cannot view the record, so not certain if the spouse is Eliza. Nor do I know where/when this William was born or indeed, what happened to him (see next para). WW1 ?
I also know (we have them on a captioned photo) that she later married a George Winn. Of him we know absolutely nothing other that he died before 1946. WW2 ? My wife actually lived with Eliza at Belvoir castle cottages for short period before Eliza died, she can't remember what year the death was (1945 - 1950 ?). We know Eliza was in Bottesford prior to that. We have references to Rose Cottage and/or Walnut Cottage but nothing positive. She came into a considerable amount of money around that time, so assume that George Winn had died and the cottage sold and she moved in with the family at Belvoir where wife's grandfather was the Duke's chauffeur.
Would greatly appreciate any input from anyone.
Many thanks,
Mike
