Can anyone else find a record in the 1841 census for James MOORE, born 1792 in Essex please? His wife was Elizabeth who was born in 1791, also in Essex. They may have children James (b, 1822); Mary Elizabeth and Martha (b, 1829) with them. They are likely to be living in the Southwark area. Many thanks, Jan

Thank you, Chris, and others who have helped. I think the directory entry is likely to refer to Charles CHADWICK, but I am now keeping an open mind on the location of the King's Arms, given that there appear to have been at least two in Kingston, on the Surrey side of the river, at various times: the King's Arms built anew in 1928 in Clarence St, and another, referred to in wills of the 17th and 18th century, in Thames St. I suppose there may have been others, too.

Thanks Ian, very little seems to be totally complete in this area. But I have been wading through the possible Answers supplied by the listers. Wonderful responses as always. Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia Hi there. A word of warning about the enclosed site in case you go straight in via the email and don't read the preamble. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE SEARCH OF THE BURIAL REGISTER. This facility only relates to areas cleared and reburied by the council when it vandalised the cemetery some years ago. Hence it is useful but not what it might seem at first sight!! regards IAN

The book "... And the Lord taketh away" - How the Mount Cemetery came into being and pen-pictures of some of those buried there, by Roger Nicholas, confirms what I recalled from memory. I have enquired about records of burials in the new cemetery at the Mount, with some success, but I'm unaware of any duplicate copies for the old cemetery.

Hi Anne Chambers (Not to confuse the Annes <G>) There is nothing against mentioning the web sites we use and love. The site I use for census searches is The Genealogist. This site has a very good street search facility under censuses. It looks as if the various providers are quick to complain or cut us off in we publish search results, but I bet they won't be as quick in paying commission for promoting them. lol, lol.

Hello Chris No - I wasn't, so thank you very much for that. I do know that SHC have some of his work and I believe the Institute in Guildford have some too. My problem is I've never found his baptism which should be about 1822 in Wonersh according to censuses. The closest match in the Wonersh registers is an Alfred Batchelor baptised Sep 1822 son of Frederick Batchelor and wife Ann (nee Chitty). I suspect Allen and Alfred are one and the same person but haven't proved it sufficiently. I'll have to look at the book - it will be interesting anyway but a real bonus if I ever do make the connection properly. Thank you again.

... And clearly there was one, a King's Arms in Clarence Street, Kingston - a 300-year-old one that was demolished and replaced by a new building in 1928, but now in its turn demolished. I think that has to be mine. Geoff Geoffrey Chew g.chew@rhul.ac.uk ________________________________ From: eng-surrey-bounces@rootsweb.com on behalf of Chew G The King's Arms of the website [next to Hampton Court] says these days that it is in Kingston, Surrey, but I will certainly stand corrected if it turns out that there was historically another in Kingston itself on the other side of the river.

Many thanks, Keith, that's the website I meant (to put it together again, < <http://www.totaltravel.co.uk/travel/london/south-greater-london/kingston-upo> http://www.totaltravel.co.uk/travel/london/south-greater-london/kingston-upo <http://www.totaltravel.co.uk/travel/london/south-greater-london/kingston-upo> n-thames/accommodation/hotels/the-kings-arms-hotel-1>), though it has meanwhile been pointed out to me that this may not be the right King's Arms, if there was another in Kingston and if this one, admittedly an 18th-century inn, was at the time in Middlesex. Mine is definitely the King's Arms, Kingston, Surrey (where Charles Chadwick wrote his will in the 1790s; some of his children had been baptised in Kingston previously, though the earliest in Ewell). The King's Arms of the website says these days that it is in Kingston, Surrey, but I will certainly stand corrected if it turns out that there was historically another in Kingston itself on the other side of the river.

Well, I got no results when I searched - who knows why ! I didn't put in the county, just Guildford, perhaps that was the reason. (and I've just tried again using the basic search with 'Mount' as street name and 'Guildford" as residential place and again got no results, perhaps one needs to do an advanced search ?) Anyway, they have been found (using the surname) and the address was 'Mount Street' And, as Ann has said, such searches are not allowed anyway. Better make sure email adresses are valid....
