Find Ancestors

Hello Marie Celeste Thank you so much for all that information I am so happy as I feel such a bond with her. She and Charles Frederick ( he was a surgeon) lived at no 2 Pelham Place I had a day in London last week and went to see it one of the best addresses in London .In the one census 1881 Lady 2 Pelham Place I wonder if you would be able to find out anything more about her. l live in South Africa.

You are a star.

Nudging this thread back up for Irene as she's having trouble navigating back to it.

Tessa has ZERO posts to her name......so no longer on GR's 'radar'

There are a few mentions of Peter Emans in the newspaper archives. Have sent a pm to Irene asking her to confirm if the info posted is relevant. If it is, I'll forward some articles.

1851 for her father, looks like the witness at marriage could have been a Hannam and possibly his brother in law, given his sister's name:

EMANS, Peter Head Widower M 73 1778 Retired Wine Merchant Blind Middlesex
HANNAM, Elizabeth Sister Widow F 66 1785 London, Middlesex
FRANKLIN, Emma Unmarried F 26 1825 Servant Chapelgate, Middlesex
WHEELER, Anne Unmarried F 19 1832 Servant Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

Piece: 1469 Folio: 486 Page: 29
Registration District: Kensington
Civil Parish: Hammersmith

Address: 6, Theresa House, Hammersmith County: Middlesex
(Address is actually Theresa Terrace)

Her parents marriage?

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: Peter Emans - of this parish
Spouse Name: Ann Greenway - of St Martin in the Field
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 6 Aug 1812
Parish: St George Hanover Square
Borough: Westminster
Register Type: Bishop's Transcript

Both were widowed.

Witnesses: Jane Griffiths and what looks like Thomas Hammer or Hannuer

No, she was Emans:


London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906

Name: Jane Emans
Record Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 29 Mar 1818 - born 3 March
Father's Name: Peter Emans - victualler
Mother's Name: Ann Emans
Parish or Poor Law Union: Westminster St Mary Le Strand
Borough: Westminster
Register Type: Bishop's Transcript

Address: 322 Strand

I know I shouldn't really do it but curiosity got the better of me.

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921

Name: Jane Emans
Spouse Name: Charles Frederick Pollard
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 15 Jun 1844
Parish: Hammersmith St Peter
Borough: Hammersmith and Fulham
Father Name: Peter Emans - gentleman
Spouse Father Name: Robert Blunde Pollard - gentleman
Register Type: Parish Register

Bride and groom both of full age and neither previously married.

Charles Frederick's occupation looks like "sayer". He was from Brompton, Kensington.

Jane was from what looks like St Peter's District, Hammersmith.

Witnesses: RB Pollard; F Pollard and Jxx P Evans (last one hard to read).


I'm not too sure, but given the last witnesses' name, I'm wondering if Jane's surname was actually Evans?

Hi Irene,

Welcome to the boards.

This post you have responded to by Tessa was posted in 2005 and she might not be looking at the boards anymore.

I suggest you click on Tessa's name and you can send her a personal message and if her email address hasn't changed then she will receive a email from GR.

In your message make sure you include the fact that even though she may not be a member anymore Tessa can still reply to your message without having to subscribe to GR.

Gai :-)
