Could anyone help me Please,?? I have a burial receipt for Charles Foster No 77 C B Ashton &Co. dated 6 Aug But can't make out the year. Interment Mon 9 3.30 Wandsworth Cemetery receipt No 14357 Could anyone Find the year or date of death Please or final place he lived. Thank You He was born 1856 Westminster and married Emily Craycraft 1896.

George
I could only find the marriage for Charles to Emily in Fulham.
I wonder if Charles had a middle name.

Sylvia

Thanks for trying Sylvia, That's as much as I could get

Did Charles have a second forename??

IF he did, could he have been buried under that name?


Have you tried to trace Emily in the 1901 and 1911 Censuses or on Electoral Rolls to see if they were together?

I'm looking at trying to get a clue as to when he might have last been "seen" in records!

Is this Emily in 1891???

If so, she seemingly lied about her age on their marriage certificate, where she imlied she was born ca 1863 :-D

Not unusual when one spouse is a lot younger than the other!! But it does help in trying to find her after they married :-)

Edits (looking in newspapers, wonder if that would be E. B. Ashton & Co. Ltd.
235, Fulham Road, Chelsea, S.W. 3)

That is the one that I came up with too Chris and having checked I found that in 1909 the date 9th August did indeed fall on a Monday which is what is stated on that receipt so it looks good !

Oh, Dea- well thought! I didn't even think to check the calendars.

Re Helen's birth in the workhouse ........


Don't forget the workhouse often had the only hospital in the area, and certainly it would be the only hospital that would not charge, thus was affordable to those of low income.

So Helen being born in the workhouse does not mean Emily and she were IN the workhouse.

I have Maud Charlotte Foster b. 1897( Don't know where) m.1919 Hull d.1972 Hull (My Grandmother) She married Philip Silvester b1889 Can anyone Please confirm the connection I believe she was Helens Sister
Thank You All for your time and interest Your Much appreciated

Also there Walter George Craycraft 13 and Jemima Craycraft 6

the 3 children are bracketed together - the relationship doesn't say Dealers but can't decipher - they are all orphans

This could be the family with Frederick aged 4 in 1861 - the original looks like Craycraft.

A Henry Craycraft aged 24 and family live next door.

If one looks at the image the word Dealeaus is bracketed with the word Orphans after Jemima's name, so it seems to be "Dealeaus Orphans"
