Is it possible to find the owner of a house in London in mid 19th century London? I am trying to find our if my 2nd G Grandfather, Frederick Weitzel, a baker, owned a particular house, 17 Drury Lane. in the 1870s. On the electoral roll he is named as living there but in fact his daughter and her husband, Charles House are the people in residence. Any clues please. Lynn

I have a relative [a vicar] who was granted a civil divorce in the High Court in 1896.[With newspaper headlines] He remarried in 1903 in the Church of England in London, not too far from his own parish. I understood that this wasn't possible in the church of England without special permission??? His previous wife was still living. Does anyone know what the church regulations were for this period?

Thanks all, I have now found the entry for ' John Young Jameson' of Marylebone in the death duties register index on FMP but didn't follow through as I don't have a subscription. Now to visit Kew. Rose

I have a copy of a Will that was proved on 1 December 1845 in London. Solicitor was Edmund Sharp - 2 Devonshire Terrace, High St Marylebone. The Will lists who will inherit the estate and the executors. Where do I go to find out what the estate consisted off. I searched National Archives but can't find the answer. Thanks, Rose

Hi Rose Unfortunately you give the solicitors name but not the testator, so couldn't check for you If the estate attracted death duties there should be an entry in the register which may give you more on who got what value wise at least, it will also show the relationship to the testator If there is an entry in the death duties register index (on findmypast for 1796 to 1903) It will require a personal visit or a researcher at Kew to get the copy for you If the estate was sizeable it might be mentioned in the papers, but they do not usually go into who got what Although its possible some solicitors records survive and have been deposited, its unlikely, if thats what you were hoping for <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/death-duties-1796-1903/> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 03/05/2016 12:12, Rose via wrote: > I have a copy of a Will that was proved on 1 December 1845 in London. > Solicitor was Edmund Sharp - 2 Devonshire Terrace, High St Marylebone. > > The Will lists who will inherit the estate and the executors.

I have a very old copy of tintype picture of one of my family members, but have not been able to make a positive identification. Does anyone know a source where the time period could be identified by the hair style and dress worn in the image. It could be my great, great grandmother 1831 – 1872 who was born in Ireland, lived in England for a time and then emigrated to US where she lived with her family on the lower east side of New York City.

Hello, I walked through this area of London a few years ago and could find no trace of the building that the FANYs used as their headquarters (1st London). My mother once said it had been hit by a bomb but that does not mean it was not rebuilt after the war. Information from anyone whose memory goes this far would be gratefully received. Thanks, Nick

I am having a terrible time trying to find my brick wall in London. I have Elizabeth LEECH marrying Thomas JONES 16 JUL 1728 at Saint Anne And Saint Agnes Aldersgate, London.  On the marriage record it states Elizabeth Leech was from parish of St Clement Danes and Thomas Jones from the parish of St Brides. The LEECH's were brandy distillers in St Clement Danes. I have no idea what occupation Thomas Jones was and have looked at many wills/gazettes and newspapers, but found none with right family. There is a family in St Brides of Thomas Jones and Elizabeth, living in Salisbury Court. I originally thought that was my family BUT The Thomas Jones there died in 1760 aged 63 and Elizabeth died 1768 aged 68. NOW - i have found through the will of a cousin Mrs Ann Heath of Martyr Worthy, Hants, in 1769, that she makes her cousin Mrs Elizabeth Jones the executor and Elizabeth Jones appears on the 12th Day of October 1769 and takes oath to prove the will.  This is then changed on the 23rd Day of May 1770 due to her being deceased, her daughter, Mary  Jones, now Beal, who the natural and lawful daughter who administers the will. Mary Jones married James Beal at St Mary's, Hampton, Richmond Upon Thames on  30th May 1758.  Her parish was St Bride's. The only death i can find within those dates above is: Elizabeth Jones 30 March 1770 Westminster Middlesex. (from All England Select Deaths and Burial at Ancestry.com) but no other info given. Can anyone give me tips on how to find this family... Any help would be appreciated.  Cheers and thanks Jo
