Hello to all on the list, I have located some lost cousins overseas and would like to contact them, by letter, regarding our family connections, to include names, dates and a photo that I have. I have been thinking, long and hard, how I should start a letter like this, but have not been confidant enough to go with the thoughts that I have. I am wondering if someone on the list has done something similar and can advise me on writing such a letter without appearing too forthright. I would very much appreciate your thoughts on this subject. TIA April Moran

There is an engraving online of the remains of Red Lion Market Whitecross Street http://tinyurl.com/3e8v4lh You can also look at what Charles Booth's survey notebooks say about it http://tinyurl.com/63s5raj I would presume he may have been at work when he died. In the 1881 census 6 Red Lion Market was occupied by a fruit salesman called John FOLEY with his wife and family in one household. A watchman called Hohn CALLAGHAN and his family and a boarder called John SINGLETON and a family Called SELVEY headed by a wife - husband not listed. It's in the St Luke's district of London.

Hello Anne, Thank you for your email, I am looking for MARGARET BAZLEY not Mary. I checked historic directories but nothing there for London in the 1860's. Regards Caroline M . DRAKE, this is not my Caroline DRAKE but it is a conincidence that they were both born in Okehampton, Devon, in 1806. I researched Caroline M. DRAKE from baptism to death just to check the facts incase she turned out to be mine but she isn't. Thanks for your help, Lesley Abraham.

I see Margaret and Caroline are in Sussex in the 1871 census but I can't at the moment find either of them in the 1861. There is a Caroline Drake born Oakhampton about 1806 living in Viacarge House Widecombe in the Moor in 1861 with husband Thomas M. an attorney. There are areas in London missing from the 1861 though, including Pimlico. There are a number of directories online at this site http://www.historicaldirectories.org/hd/ But no London ones for the 1860's that I can see.

Jeremy, I believe it reads ... Thanet Cottage, Swan Lane. Swan Lane is further east than Christ Church, running at right angles down to the river, near the parish church (St Mary Rotherhithe).

In regards to my quirie for a lookup for the death reg. for William Arthur STEPHENSON i have received a registration that i think is correct. The only way to be sure is to buy the cert. which i will do tonight. Although i have sent a personal email to him i would like to thank Jeremy Gallop for taking the time to do lookup for me. Bob

Jeremy--If you look at the entry just opposite (to the right) of your Trent entry, you will see that the address there is definitely 25 Swan Lane. It looks just like the Swan Lane for Trent. On Judy's suggestion of Thanet Cottage, Swan Lane I "googled" that phrase. It appears in Google Books in an 1862 listing so I'm sure Judy is correct.

I have been looking at the (few) mentions of Sidcup on Pathe News at _www.britishpathe.com/_ (http://www.britishpathe.com/) Perhaps most intriguing are the views of a Mrs Austral and her Monkey Hotel (1931)and a "History of the World" performed in the 20s at a large country house-possibly Footscray Place, I think. I wonder if anyone has further information about these people and places Paul Windley

Hello, I am new to this list and hope that someone may be able to help me. I have been researching Margaret BAZLEY b. 1794 to Aaron and Mary BAZLEY in Okehampton, Devon. She became a school teacher in Bath and governess/head mistress at Godolphin School, Salisbury. She retired in 1854. The National Provincial Bank put notices in various newpapers throughout the country of the "persons of whom the company or partnership consists" with an address and Mary BAZLEY turns up in 1863(in the Hampshire Telegraph & Sussex Chronicle) at 6 Denbigh Road, Kensington Park, W, in 1867 she is at 6 Colville Road, Bayswater. There she stays (according to the NPB) until 1871 when she is at Upper Bognor, Sussex. Does anyone have access to any directories of London for the dates of 1863, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869, and 1870 and is Margaret Bazley mentioned in any of them? I am also looking for her widowed sister Caroline DRAKE who may be living with her, as they were living together before Caroline's marriage in 1852 and after 1871? Many thanks, Lesley Abraham. Isle of Wight,

Hello from New Zealand I am wondering if there are any directories for London in the 1930 plus for Acton, trying to check for a name   Thanks Eileen

Hello All Could sks please look at the 1841 census and find SAMUEL PEARSALL, born about 1828 in Westminster and/or MARTHA COLLIER, born about 1831 in Colchester, Sussex, but probably in London by 1841? We'd like to find them with their families. Thanks in advance Phyl in NZ

Hi David In the 1841 census Thirza Palmer who died in 1843 is living in Red Lion Street, in the same household as Thomas Knight 25, with Ann Palmer 55, Thomas Palmer 20 and Harriet Palmer 20. So the death certificate sounds like the right one. I will send you more detail off list. Val -----Original Message----- From: london-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:london-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of David Roberts Sent: Saturday, 2 April 2011 8:59 PM To: London List Subject: [LON] Death Certificate of Thirza Palmer Thirza Palmer was born in Langley Burrell, Chippenham, Wiltshire in 1816, and died at 43 Percival Street in 1843, in the Sub District of St James, Clerkenwell. Her brother came to London in the early 1840s and lived on Drury Lane. Another sister, Harriet, lived at 34 Hall Street (Goswell Road). I now have the death certificate for Thirza who died of scrofula. I was hoping that a member of the family might have been present at the death, and would therefore be mentioned on the DC. However the person present was Thomas Knight. I sent for the certificate on the grounds that: - *Thirza is a fairly unusual first name* - *The age is right (27)* - *The address is not too far away from her brother at Drury Lane and her sister at Hall Street.* Does anyone have any ideas how I might tie this down to be certain the she is the family member I seek? Is it likely that she would be in one of the London Directories? I wonder whether she might have been a dressmaker like her sister? Any help would be appreciated.
