Hello All An MI in Highgate records John COWAN who died 1895, his wife Elizabeth (1908), John WEBB (her brother) 1884, and mother 1915. Near the bottom and rather worn looks like two Cowan children who died young, possibly in the 1850s. Just above this though is 'Mrs K E A JEFFERIES who died 13 Dec 1854 aged 64 years. She was my x gt grandmother and so far as I'm aware, no relation to either COWAN or WEBB. I'm intrigued as to why she would be buried in a family grave, and why she was called 'Mrs' with her initials and not her Christian names. Any ideas anyone? Regards Jackie (in South Wales) (I've just given brief wording of the MI - if any Cowan or Webb researchers would like details then please contact me)

Hi to all and hope some one maybe able to help me thur the following questions I have or rather my neighbour and self have re taken up her family after aly overof 20 years and we didn't seem to get far then nor now it seems The church as I mentioned in subject lien St Clement Danes is that on live via Ancestry or what as I seem to be needing some baptims from this church and nothing on Ancestry makes sense Firstly. Ann CRUSE born Bristol England married JOHN FRENCH by Bans 1832 St Clement Danes, and from the 1841 Census for HEREFORD ST Div Christchurch/ St Marylebone there appeared this famoly of FRENCH John French 40 TAILOR Not born in County Ann French 40 ditto Henry French 10 Yes, born in County Maria French 7 Yes born in County James French 10 Yes born in County The 1851 Doesn't show anyone EXCEPT Ann French HO107/1498 St Pancras f.108 p46-47 17 MURRAY ST Ann French Head Widow 45 years Lodging House Keeper Born Bristol Sarah Bickferd Niece 18 years Born Devon, Torpoimt M Humphreys Visitor We had to get a paid researcher living England to get as much as I have written 20 year ago, then a death certificate was applied for and received for Ann French's spouse John He passed away 1848 REGENTS PARK Co M</Sex aged 45 years and the addres shown where he died 5 Gloucester Place all ties in plus his trade TAILOR Inbetween times for Ann & John French a birth certifcate was applied for and received for a son Thomas French Jan 9 1844 5 Gloucester Place Occupation Tailor. That ok so far, then Ann and her son Thomas came to Melbourne 1852 on the ship PERSIAN and she remarried there in melbourne to James Russell, and she stated her parents were Bartholomew CRUSE and Jane LEE So, a trip into Family search was done and found a marriage for this Bartholomew Cruse and Jane Lee 1803 but there were kids being baptised pre this date Nothing unusal I guess So, on her marriage here in OZ she said she had 8 kids all dec and tom was the last living kid, My questions are, if in London where the heck were the kids baptised and where did they die. FreeBMD gave me another child to Ann and John French which came as a surprise Charlotte GRANVILLE FRENCH death 1845 St Geo Hanover Sq and as one knows the early deaths do not show ages and this Granville middle name is what Ann French used in OZ I am very sure the family used St Clements Danes for all their kids baptisms but it ain't on Ancestry!! 5 Gloucester Place is that still around today or has it gone with the bombing of London. My neighbour / friend went to England just for family history purposes and tried to find this place but was unsuccesful. I can't go into more detail as we don't know only just what the researcher found and myself using Family Search and Census what little and her Ann French's kids mainly Thomas doesn't show up on the 51 Census which to me is a little odd. Surely he must have been somewhere either with relations or in School Anns second marriage didn't produce kids as the both parties were a little old and I suppose after losing 8 she wouldnt want any more Thank you for taking time to read my posting and hope some one maybe able to help further Elaine in OZ

I have been researching my family name of WAKELIN/WAKLING now for some years but have not found anyone researching the same line as me, so am hoping this time I have more luck!!   Charles Wakelin was born in 1795 according to the census and his death record.  He was a jeweller.  The only birth I can find that might be him is Charles Wakelin bap 1795 in St James Westminster, parents John and Catherine.  I found this on the IGI.  Does anyone have access to his baptism record ?  I am wondering if there are any addresses or clues.    I think he married Mary (possibly Mary Charlotte) - she is living with him on the 1841 census but I suppose could be a sister.  She is born 1785.  Charles and his wife had  a child baptised in 1825 in Spitalfields.  I have no idea if this was his first child and cannot find his marriage.   Would be very keen to hear from anyone else who is researching the family or from anyone who can solve this puzzle which has been a brick wall for about 20 years now.   Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
