Ooooh Alter!! LOL Merry

I wonder if Angelina's sister, Caroline, had died, as in that 1881 census Angelina seems to have assumed her sister's firstname into her own names.......(and that of her daughter) Merry

When youre hot, youre hot !!!

because Angelina has married: Marriages Dec 1879 GLINDON Arthur Strand 1b 983 Leatt Anglina Strand 1b 983 1881: Angelina Caroline Glindon abt 1860 Holborn, Middlesex, England Lodger Wife 10 Vere Street, St Clement Danes, London, England Arthur Glindon abt 1860 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Lodger (Head) 10 Vere Street, St Clement Danes, London, England Mary Ann Caroline Glindon abt 1880 St Clements, Middlesex, England Daughter 10 Vere Street, St Clement Danes, London, England George Leatt abt 1861 Holborn, Middlesex, England Visitor 10 Vere Street, St Clement Danes, London, England Merry

1881 everyone has left home! Frances Knowles abt 1823 St Andrews Holm, Middlesex, England Wife 11 Russell Court, St Martin In The Fields, London, England John Knowles abt 1821 St Martins, Middlesex, England Head 11 Russell Court, St Martin In The Fields, London, England Merry

By 1871 Frances has remarried: Marriages Dec 1866 Cockrane William J Lambeth 1d 503 >>>>Knowles John B Lambeth 1d 503 >>>>Leatt Frances Lambeth 1d 503 PARKLOW Sarah A Lambeth 1d 503 and she is Mrs Knowles. She still has Caroline and Angelina living at home!: 1871: Angelena Knowles abt 1857 Bedford; Bury, Middlesex, England Daughter St Mary Le Strand London Caroline Knowles abt 1853 Drury Lane, Middlesex, England Daughter St Mary Le Strand London Frances Knowles abt 1826 Shoe Lane City Wife St Mary Le Strand London George Knowles abt 1861 Bedford; Bury Son St Mary Le Strand London John Knowles abt 1821 Strand, Middlesex, England Head St Mary Le Strand London Merry

Alter, Who was it said, it's always easier when it's someone elses tree??!!! Merry

Well done you.........the combination of that lot ,the missing young Frances,and my death to confirm it,settles it,job done,Merry !! if there was ever going to be a mistranscription,it had to be the S/L thing,ie the copperplate S on a slope looks like an L. Also the c is the e-easily done. the o is the a-again easily done. Like Lewis was transcibed as Severio,very similar.

I meant to say, they are SCOTT on the original census page, but I would imagine it's a copying error by the enumerator! Can't be that many Angelina's can there?? Merry

I think this lot are worth investigating: 1861: Angelina Scott abt 1858 Middlesex, England Daughter Westminster St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Caroline Scott abt 1853 Middlesex, England Daughter Westminster St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Frances Scott abt 1823 Middlesex, England Head Westminster St Martin in the Fields Middlesex George Scott abt 1861 Middlesex, England Son Westminster St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Mary A Scott abt 1847 Middlesex, England Daughter Westminster St Martin in the Fields Middlesex Frances is the right age and if you check FreeBMD there is a birth reg for Caroline Leatt and one for George Leatt, both in St Martin in the Fields district that fit for the children above. However, the decider (I think) is this on the IGI which would fit with the Angelina Scott aged 3 on the above census: ANGELINA FRANCES LEATT Event(s): Birth: 14 FEB 1857 Christening: 31 AUG 1872 Saint Clement Danes, Westminster, London, England Parents: Father: GEORGE LEATT Mother: FRANCES Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. Merry

For starters the young Frances died before 1861. Frances Elizabeth Leatt died 1856 1a 213 Martin in the Fields.

Thanks - I'll give the double 'l' a go and th 'u' option!
