Looking for Annie Stuart Prickett

[Benody1921]

Does anyone else think Wyndham Lewis looks a bit like Gomez Addams? 

Haha yes! I knew he reminded me of someone but couldn't place him.

Thanks solidrock. I'll definitely send off an email. That's great.

I found this and I think it might be a good clue that Henry Benson Stuart was Annie Stuart Prickett's father. I don't know why else she would be seeking more information on him.

Good find

Now I need access to that document to see what she was looking for. I'm so intrigued now. I looked to see how far it is to drive to the university. A little too far for me with two small children.

I was able to get a scan of the document. It's just a request at the War Office to speak with Henry Benson Stuart. This was in 1908. The form confirms he had died 31 Jan 1897 and was invalided from the military in October of 1864. So it doesn't really confirm anything.

I received Annie Stuart's birth certificate. It confirmed that Frances Mary Dangerfield was her mother. It did not name the father, which I didn't expect but I had hoped. The addess was 11 Elizabeth Street in Chelsea.

Did you go any further with the research here.

I have an interest in Anne GOODERSON, wife of Giles PRICKETT.

She was the daughter of James GOODERSON and Rebecca LADSON in Beeston next Mileham in Norfolk. James was born in Beeston next Mileham, son of Thomas GOODERSON and Phoebe SWINGEL, and was a schoolmaster there, up to about 1823. He then turns up in the 1851 census as a solicitors clerk in South Weald in Essex.

Other children seem to have spread and are found anywhere but Beeston.

Rebecca LADSON is currently a mystery, as I have not found a baptisms, death/burial, or indeed a marriage.
