Death of Lucy Cottrill 1902

[*Sandra*]

Interesting that Felix Cottrill married Elizabeth Ann Stephen in Hampshire 1907 - wonder if there was a connection between Elizabeth and Lucy ?  Maybe coincidence ?

That’s what I’m trying to work out. I initially thought Lucy may have died whilst on holiday or whilst visiting friends but it now appears they may have moved there. Had Felix retired from the Cotton Spinning business?..

I see that Felix left £1,000 to St Georges Hospital, London when he died.   

Thanks for that, I haven’t seen his will. He was a member of a large wealthy family engaged in the Cotton Spinning industry in Bolton during the 19th Century.. Regards Jayhen

The 1911 census shows Felix (53 years - colliery co) and Elizabeth (43years - cotton spinning) as Director and Managing Director. So they were both involved with business and living in St Annes On Sea. Lytham

Yes, I noted that but would like to know how long Felix & Lucy were in Hampshire? Did Felix meet his second wife down there?.. can’t see any electoral listings or trade directories so far following Lucy’s death..

[*Sandra*]

We don't really know for sure that Felix was in Hampshire at the time Lucy passed.


Perhaps the daughter Sybil Evelyn Cottrill was at school in the Hampshire area and Lucy was visiting. 

Sybil Evelyn Cottrill born 1894

Very interesting indeed. I hadn’t been aware of Sybil who obviously didn’t pursue a career in the family business and forged a career as a teacher overseas. Unlike the rest of her family there isn’t a baptism record as far as I can see and no trace so far on the 1901 census. Perhaps she was with another household or away at private school. Thanks again for your assistance which is most appreciated. I visited the ‘High View’ address today which still stands and is a grand building… Jayhen
