Hi Brenda, Don't know any schools in the area but my family visiting London (extended trip) lived according to the 1891 census in Camberwell but the children all went to boarding school in East Preston, Sussex. So maybe be a good idea to spread your search a bit further afield.

I am trying to find out if anyone knows whether there were private or boarding schools open in and around Streatham abt 1890+. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Brenda - Australia

This is a test as everytime I post message to list it is returned.

Thanks for that info. Thought that might be the case. He died at his home address of Hillcrest Road, Highgate, N6. It looks like he lived in Highgate, N6 for most of his adult life. When I did a google I came across a newspaper Hampstead and Highgate. Can anyone with local knowledge confirm that this would have been the local paper for that area.

Yes, it's the Hampstead & Highgate Express, known locally as the 'Ham & High'. They have a website.

Hello all I have uncovered a death cert that has the death unascertained and an open verdict by a Coroner. Is it possible to get a coroners report and if so how would I go about it. This would be quite recent death by genealogy standards (1998) so may have privacy restrictions. This person is very close family to my mother but they lost touch due to her immigrating. At this stage she is not aware that he has died so I thought that I would try to get more information before I told her. One of life's curve balls, I was trying to track him down they could get in touch again as she has been interested in finding her family roots. Cheer, Pieta Townsville, Qld, Australia

Dave, A search of A2A produces several items in the Parliamentary Archives, one of which refers to Lewis Barber. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/ Naturalization (John Ricard &c.) Act HL/PO/JO/10/6/4/1510 15 Feb 1700 Contents: Amended Draft of an Act for naturalizing John Ricard, Jacob Dabbadie and others. The persons included in the Draft end with Daniel Cabrol; those added by the Lords' Select Committee were Peter Brochart to John Andrew Hanckwitz inclusive together with Lewis Barber, appearing in the Act, and also John Mum, son of William Mum by Margaret, his wife, born at the Hague, in Holland, and Peter Evalt, son of Edward Evalt by Katharine, his wife, born at Hamborough (see Annex b)), who were struck out by the Commons. Com. Book 29 Feb 5, 7, 8 March. The Commons' amendments were to strike out Mum and Evalt, as above, and to insert John Baptist de Bellefoss down to Charles le Blanc inclusive between Hanckwitz and Barber. [Read 1a this day. Royal Assent 11 April 1700. Lords Journals, XVI. 516, 579. 12 Will. III. c. 60 in Long Cal.] Annexed: a) - q) Petitions and lists of names, with certificates. ========== HTH Judy London, UK -----Original Message----- From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:london-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Barber Huguenot Society Quarto Series, v. 18, Letters of Denization and Acts of Naturalization in England and Ireland, 1603-1700 has the following entry for 1700, Feb. 17. LEWIS BARBER (Ricard's Bill), having served in the late war and is a Protestant. (L. J. XVI, 519.) Does anyone know what Ricard's Bill was? Googling brings up a number of entries for Bill Ricard, but none that I can see for Ricard's Bill. The entry in the Lord's Journal vol XVI does not refer to Ricard's Bill.

Personal details in Coroner's records are subject to a 75 year privacy rule.

I tried looking some more Could see 3 of Bradshaw births but not Annie And only 2 Parker - Richard born 1863 so "2 years later" does that put Annie in 1861 Did you look at the George death in 1864? Nearest Richard death in Ancestry was 1870 Otherwise all I say is if he called son George then perhaps his father was also George and maybe his mother or siblings might be Elizabeth, Jane, Maria and Annie. Trouble is Elizabeth is such a popular name In which case there is this family at Rotherhithe St Mary Southwark and father is Geo* and mother Eliz* with various second names If same family note first child is both Ann and Jane Name Date Parent Names Parish or Poor Law Union Borough View Images Ann Jane Bradshaw 25 Feb 1818 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Ann Bradshaw Eliza Mary Bradshaw 25 Aug 1819 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw George Bradshaw 17 Jan 1821 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Caroline Elizabeth Bradshaw 24 Jan 1823 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw 14 Jun 1826 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw George Bradshaw 14 Jun 1826 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Margt Bradshaw Last elsewhere but sounds like same parents Elizabeth Bradshaw 23 Sep 1829 George William Bradshaw,Elizabeth Mary Bradshaw Whitechapel St Mary Tower Hamlets Ron Lankshear -Sydney NSW (from London-Shepherds Bush/Chiswick) try my links http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~lankshear/ On 2011-06-10 10:08 AM, Shirlee Cantwell wrote: > Four of the Bradshaw children have been registered > with George Bradshaw as their father, the fifth > child (my great grandmother Annie Bradshaw), > although registered as a Bradshaw did not have her > fathers name recorded on the birth certificate. > Two years later she had the first of 4 children to > Richard Parker, no marriage every found.

London Gazette Try putting MBE + relative's name in the search box & years 1941 - 45. in the London Gazette online. I would have thought if it was recent a family member would remember. The other thing you could do is Google name + MBE and see what comes up.
