Jewellery Find - Mourning brooch
« on: Saturday 18 June 22 02:27 BST (UK) »
I love looking at old jewellery online, and when I find a mourning brooch, if there is information about the person, I try to look them up.

I found this one, but I think it's been transcribed incorrectly.

https://www.gatsbyjewellery.co.uk/product/georgian-garnet-mourning-brooch-dated-1817

Elizabeth Kenoul ? Died 21st May 1817, aged 56 (so 1761 birthday or there abouts.)

I can't find anyone with that name though. It might be her married name, or not obviously.

Just wondering if anyone else has any better luck.
;D Doing my best, but frequently wrong ;D
:-* My thanks to everyone who helps me, you are all marvellous :-*

The surname is not clear is it? I thought it might start with Ker …. :-\ Doesn’t help to have the pin across part of the surname. Not convinced that is “At” 56 either.

Lovely brooch.

Is George Charles the same person as G. E. Kerval?

25 June 1838 - Morning Post - London, London, England
 
Clip is too large.
It says he is a native of France, conducted a respectable boarding school for boys in Sydenham. Now advanced in years and very frail.  Hoping past pupils will donate.

Not convinced that is “At” 56 either.

That would be an abbreviation of the Latin "aetat", meaning aged. 
Which itself is an abbreviation of "anno aetatis" = in the year of his/her age.

After posting I wondered if it might be an abbreviation, so thanks Sloe Gin.  :)
