Felicity Andrews

[Marcus Heslop]

This site has been wonderful in finding information about the late actor Guy Standeven whose biography I'm writing. Now I'm after some help on finding any information about his partner Felicity Andrews. Together from the early 1960's to his death in 1998 (they lived in Hampton Wick) Felicity would live a further ten years and die in 2008. They never married or had children. Felicity was born 30/06/1931 and died 24/01/2008 at Ashton Lodge Nursing Home, Spelthorne Grove, Sunbury. She was born in Cockpen, Midlothian, Scotland and had a sister (alive as of 2008, current whereabouts unknown). Guys sister tells me that she was a member of the Andrews family, who posed for the famous painting by Gainsborough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are looking for details of her parents etc you would have to buy a copy of her Scottish birth cert to get that information

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

SP shows 2 births in 1931 - both for Felicity Anne Andrews and both in Midlothian but with different reference numbers and different registration districts

My book on Guy Standeven is effectively complete. It was this fine website that led me to contact his sister and nephew but it has been terribly frustrating with regards finding any information about his partner Felicity Andrews. Apart from the information above the only additional information is that her sister was probably called Daphne. The British Newspaper Archive has provided some articles that name a Felicity and Daphne Andrews that are likely them. I would still love to contact relatives of Felicity but all avenues have led alas to a dead end. Any advice?

Did you ever buy the birth certificate for Felicity?
A possibility for her sister might be Margaret Daphne b 1929 Cockpen.

There is a tree on Ancestry with both in it.
says parents are Lionel Otway ANDREWS and Marie Margaret Florence Hyacinth DIXIE

Marie DIXIE is said to be the daughter of Sir George Douglas Dixie, 12th Bt.of Market Bosworth

Daphne = 2 marriages
1 1968 Michael David GARCIA   says he died in 1970

2 Herman HAEFKE b Germany and died Canada 2011   no date of a marriage given

 Magaret Daphne said to have died in Brighton 2010

no children listed

I have not checked any of this yet

Intriguing stuff, thank you. My only other lead is that someone posted on their Twitter page a picture of Guy and Felicity at a wedding. Looks like late 70's. They captioned it with 'just found out I'm related to Guy Standeven (Granatis and Olgarth in Knightmare*) by marriage" When I contacted this young lady she wouldn't tell me anything further or who the other four people are in the photo one I suspect is Felicity's sister (Guys sister thinks it is). She also insisted that I don't post the picture online (she's since removed it but I have a copy) and to not contact her again so hence I'm not naming her here!
*TV series he was in

I was going to suggest you get the will for Daphne, but there is only a grant,

GARCIA   MARGARET DAPHNE   03 August 2010   3346194   26 March 2010   Grant only   Winchester

I don’t know if you are hoping they were descended from the Gainsborough couple.

If the parents I posted before are correct, then Lionel Otway’s parents were both ANDREWS and had a common ancestor who  it is quite easy to get back to. One Richard Bullock Andrews born about 1797.  He was a solicitor in Epping, Essex. Died 1845.  (A son by the same name went on to be a bigwig in Australia)

Having trouble bridging the gap to The Gainsborough couple, but they are in the right area.

Richard Bullock did leave “my mother’s picture” to his brother captain Robert Andrews in the Royal Artillery.  But i need to print off the will to have a hope of reading it properly. 

Also the will of Robert Andrews (The Gainsborough man). Is very long.

Why did she die as Garcia, if she married Haefke after Michael Garcia's death?

Anyway, this marriage with surname also Carmichael:
Marriages March quarter 1968 
MARGARET D Andrews  Garcia  MERTON  5D 1168
MARGARET D Carmichael   Garcia  MERTON  5D 1168   
MICHAEL D Garcia  Andrews  MERTON  5D 1168   
MICHAEL D  Garcia Carmichael  MERTON  5D 1168

But this obituary from Canada is interesting, original not available:

Marriage Date: 1966 (??)
Residence Place: Canada, Calgary
Death Date: 2 Jun 2011   Obituary Date: 15 Jun 2011
