"Hi Grytr. I have found a couple of photographs one inscribed H Douglas King 1904 on this he is an adult possibly in his 40s. the second is inscribed Mrs Douglas King and her two youngest sons Lawrence Aubrey born March 13/93. and Percy William born July 22/91 she looks a similar sort of age the children look under school age.") The above is from the ARTHUR WEBB KING collection. So, I do believe lulupat's 1911 census is correct. It is VERY interesting that lulupat notes the name Elliot. This would imply I may have the 1878 marriage of HENRY KING to SUSANNAH HUBBARD incorrect (even though there was an Arthur George King as witness) and I should instead attach the 1875 marriage of HENRY DOUGLAS THING to SUSANNAH ELLIOT which indeed would make HENRY'S father CHARLES THING. This would then support lulupat's birth record of HENRY DOUGLAS THING in 1953 and my 1871 census record for CHARLES (39, CERTIFIED MANURE MAKER) and ELIZABETH THING living in NEEDHAM MARKET etc. The 1875 marriage of THING does not look like mis-transcription of KING. Could they have collectively changed their surname? Seems unlikely to me. -------------------------------------------------- Re: KING Ipswich This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

The name Thing is quite common in Suffolk I note from looking at the records. Why or if they changed their name to King I do not know but the evidence suggests that they did. Either that or an old fashioned TH looks very much like a K and it has been seriously mis-transcribed for generations but I doubt that theory. The marriage of Charles Thing to a Webb and the birth of Arthur Webb Thing at the right time who had a brother Henry Douglas also born at the right time seems to be evidence too strong to suggest that the later Arthur Webb King and Henry Douglas King are not the same people. -------------------------------------------------- Re: KING Ipswich This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Author: PaulaHadgraft Surnames: Gardiner, Partridge, Elmer Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8844.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi, My ancestor Anne Gardiner, is the next younger sister to Elizabeth. Anne married Charles Partridge. I have the Gardiner's back to around 1690 at the moment, so if you are interested in exchanging trees let me know. I have researched this line and there are no other Elizabeth's born in either parish around this time. The family moved from Chelsworth to Monks Eleigh sometime around 1812-1813. Which is probably why Elizabeth says she was born in Monks Eliegh, as she was most likely only 1 or 2 yrs when the family moved. The descendants of Robert Gardiner & Susannah Coates married extensively into my Partridge and Elmer trees. -------------------------------------------------- Re: Martha Garrod This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

BOLTON of Fore Hill, Ely, Cambridgeshire, shows "No 3 Troop" of the Suffolk Yeomanry at the "Cutter Hotel" in Ely on 4 April 1915. The handwriting on the back, erroneously indicating that the front row should be read from right to left, matches that of my great-grandfather's half-brother, Frederic Thomas (known as Tom) BRADY (1893-1978), who can be seen at the left end of the middle row. He was recruited by the regiment's "second line" (the 2/1st Suffolk Yeomanry) at Ely on 8 Feb. 1915 (WO 364/366; Ancestry images 23399 to 23403) but I wonder whether these troopers were part of the new "third line" or 3/1st training unit formed in that year (http://www.1914-1918.net/suffolkyeo.htm). Hotel proprietor Thomas Thompson HILL kept the Cutter Inn at Annesdale and Broad Street in Ely. The boy at the window may have been his son, Henry Morton T. HILL (1900-1973). The officer is Second Lieutenant Alfred (known as Dick) ROSLING (c.1892-1955). The Staff Sergeant Major on his right (our left) is named R.S.M. (Regimental Sergeant Major) J. MANLEY in the printed caption of a September 1916 photograph of 131 members of the 2/1 Suffolk Yeomanry's "A" Squadron, which I hope to be able to post here next year. At least two of the men at Ely wear the Imperial Service badge above the right breast pocket, signifying their agreement to serve overseas. The names endorsed by my uncle Tom are: Window: HILLS [HILL] Top row: WOODS, SPINKS, GOLDSMITH, LOINES O, CATTERMOLE, CRANE H, BURTON & F HEATH 2nd row: F T BRADY, WETSTONE, HOWLETT, BAILEY, TOOLEY, LARKIN, CANHAM H, CRANE F Bottom row: KINGSLEY [or HINGSLEY?], SPURGEON E, Serg.
