Find Ancestors

ArgyllGran

Thank you.

Not yet as I found another which I like better.
Julia Stephens
D. 1898, Islington.

Reason I like better is that, apart from being born there, she doesn’t seem to have any other connection to Guildford or Surrey. Her parents and older sister were all born in Berks and seems she was only born in Surrey due to being where her father was working at the time.

A connection to Islington feels better to me as that area Camberwell/Islington/Bermondsey are all within close proximity.

I’m grateful you took time to look for me though, thank you.
Happy New Year

How could that 34-year old's death be hers? The woman you're researching is on 1901 census

Have you purchased any certificates relating to her?

You stated on your OTHER thread that she died in 1910!!

Oh ErikaH I know lol. Don’t know why I do this so late at night, I’m obviously not at my best.

You are, of course, absolutely right. She couldn’t possibly have died in 1898 as she was on 1901 census, I am a fool?????

Just something about the 1910 Godstone death isn’t sitting comfortably with me. Cant put my finger on it yet. It will probably turn out to be her!

I haven’t got the death certificate yet as I can’t see that what it might say may be of any help.

If it's the right death cert, it may mention either Harry or George, and solve the mystery for you.

The informant's name may be helpful, too - though of course that may only be some hospital official.

Even if further info is found relating to Julia who was the mother of Florence, there is no absolute proof that she is the woman who married Pooley.

Available records would seem to suggest that she could be, but............................

I have to say that if I'd been researching a particular individual for 30 years, I'd have bought some certs by now ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

ErikaH….I’ve just ordered the death certificate for Julia Baldock who died in Godstone 1910. Fingers crossed!!

I have bought lots of other certs, my family is HUGE, my husbands also seems quite large.

I’ve finished my dads side, my mums side, my husbands maternal parents side and this is his paternal side. Worst bit is there is no one left from hubbys side of the generation who might be able to offer some memories.

From my sister, I only have my mum and she’s 101 and the memories have very much faded. Grateful we did her side earlier.

Will wait for the certificate to come and let you know the outcome.
Thanks again for all your help.

Happy New year to you and all who have helped, I genuinely do appreciate the help.
Caroline.

Good luck!

Sometimes people do just seem to disappear - for instance my great-aunt Edith, who disappears from records after 1911.
But I know from family stories that she was definitely still around in the 1920s-30s.
I have no idea where or when she died.
So frustrating!

Received death certificate for Julia Baldock today.
Very little by way of info.

TWELFTH NOVEMBER 1910
METROPOLITAN ASYLUM CATERHAM
JULIIA BALDOCK
FEMALE
AGE 42
WIFE OF --- (no name, just a line)
CHARWOMAN OF CHRISTCHURCH, WHITECHAPEL
CAuse of death: fatty degeneration of the heart, dementia
informant given as superintendent metropolitan asylum

Sadly I am feeling now, VERY strongly, that this is MY Julia. - you know, you get a "feeling" and I sure have it seeing this now.

Makes me so sad. Age 42 and having dementia - which could also mean just being "demented" and not how we think of dementia these days.

So, my search for Julia comes to an end.

Thank you all SO much, genuinly I am beyond grateful for all your suggestions, directions and advice. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this community is amazing.

Happy New Year
Caroline xx

Pleased that you're happy with the outcome

Thanks for letting us know, Caroline.
