Clarissa Rawlings Wells

[mikegunnill]

Looking into Mrs Carissima Wells, in later life she added Rawlings her maiden name as her middle name, 1872-1962. After the divorce from Reginald Fairfax Wells, about 1937 she lived in Blackheath and then Tudor Lodge, Crofton Road Orpington. Described as the Farnborough end of Crofton Road. I can find no mention of her until her death in 1962, when she was still living in the same house.

I wonder if anyone has come across Carissima Wells, who never remarried in your research. The family can not help. Grateful for for assistance please? Thx.

Ate you just looking for the gap between 1939 and 1962. Other than Electoral Registers, there may be nothing else recorded. She might have led a very quiet life during that time.


Yes basically 1939-1962. I am in touch with the relations of the children, but they are not aware. Thank you.

I can only suggest that you check the electoral registers but if you know she lived there all the time, that may be no use. Unless, perhaps, she had people living there from time to time.
Otherwise, you could check the local newspapers to see if she was recorded at any events etc.

If she didn't remarry or move there isn't much likely hood of her popping up until her death , also her date of birth is a bit suspect by quite a few years, I can't find a birth either although you don't want that info

I have noted the birth date, does change a great deal.I have never seen a birth certificate and I have searched. At the time of marriage she lived in Fulham and her only parent a Doctor, was dead. He had connections with Devon.

Just now I have found a birth date 15/6/1870 Beaminster, Devon. Address in Fulham 89C Fulham Park Gardens.

That birth date does not tie up with 1939 where there are 2 dates and one corrected in green

Dr Frank Rawlings

Oh, I have seen Francis Rawlings, medical assistant but he was unmarried. Do you mean him?
I think he was born Wncanton, Somerset but living in the right area.


Added - no I ruled him out as he was too young.
