Studholmes of Skirwith
« on: Sunday 05 January 20 17:38 GMT (UK) »
Annie Jane Studholme, born in Cumberland in 1878, married my gt-uncle Thomas E.D. Beer in West Derby in 1907.He was a steward on White Star liners and I finally traced him to a cemetery in Brooklyn, New York in 1909.His widow Annie and family lived in West Derby and are in the 1911 census under ''Plur/Hidlecote''. I have not found an entry for 1939. She died in 1947 in Wallasey (where her mother-in-law eventually lived & is buried) but I cannot find her burial.

Have you got an exact date of birth for her?

Do you know of any profession for her, as she would have been a widow for a long time (only married for 2 years)?

What does Plur/Hidlecote mean?

Annie Jane may have died in Wallasey but her probate says she was of 14 Aynam Road, Kendal.

Where have you looked for burials?

Suggest you look for her in Kendal in 1939. ;)

Annie is at the address given by Chempat, in the 1939 register.  Her occupation has been transcribed as Roar Ding Housekeeper  :o  I think we can all guess what it should be!  ::)

No, no, no.  I want to be a Roar Ding Housekeeper - whatever it may be.

Not sure how the transcriber read it as that, to me it is quite clear what it should be, but there we are.......

Could Annie have been buried here:-

Rake Lane Cemetery, Wallasey Memorial Inscriptions Index
Surname   Section   Grave Number   Entry Number

BEER   12G           103                   9232
BEER   16G           375                   10373
BEER   21C           131                   6004

No first names or dates given so no idea if any of them are Annie.

Thank you...poor Annie...Beer='Plur' or 'Bur' née Studholme='Hidlecote' and now Roar Ding.....the attempt at Skirwith was just as bad. However,another transcriber wrote in exquisite copper plate that my grandmother Caroline was 'Catherine'.
2 of the Beer headstones at Rake's Lane are for my gt-grandmother and 2 children; the other is for her younger 2 children, including one whom I knew.
Oh, and Annie's husband joined the ''sur peial yeomanry'' (= imperial).
