    There are, possibly, LDS films, which may/not be available online in transcription.

    Death records may be only in the form of civil registration. That is - you'd need the civil registration to be able to start guessing the burial place.

    ... But somewhere around Richmond, as I recall, there are cemetery records online?

    Yes: http://www2.richmond.gov.uk/burials/
    but at the moment:
    Unfortunately our burial records search is currently unavailable. Please try another time. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

      Hi Naomi
      I have only just stumbled across the site where you you found the info about Lewis Thompson but I was already getting the feeling of Jewish connections via the Levien name. If Charlotte's maiden name doesn't turn out to be Levien then I am sure that it will appear in her family 1 or 2 generations removed. The Leviens keep cropping up in events in the Thompson family i.e
      John Levien Thompson married Susannah Elizabeth Thurpin in 1868. When he died in 1877 Susannah re married in 1882 & one of her witnesses was a Sarah Levien.

        Hi Christine - yes, just looked it up Burial registers search - London Borough of Richmond upon Thames but not available at the moment. Got it from Cyndi's List - England - Surrey
        Unless they stayed around West Ham maybe. Wonder if Margot and 'Rene' married?

          Margot may have married in 1941q2 - that is, someone with her unusual name & extra initials did. The partner doesn't come up readily - will have to do a bit of rooting around, but the surname is unusual.

          ... I think this means that I can name the surname:
          There's a matching death for Margot Alice DURKIN aged 89 in West Surrey in Oct 1999. Her DoB is given as 17 Apr 1910.

          There are a couple of likely children b Brentford 1943q2 and 1947q1: a son and a daughter.
          Can't see a marriage for the son, but the daughter may have married in 1970q1 in Ealing (with a possible daughter and son in the London-ish area, in the next few years).

            Hi Moggie - Yes, I'm sure there was a Jewish Levien..it can also be Levy, Levine, Levy etc etc The name Lewis is an anglicised form of Levy and derivatives. Also, Solomon is a Jewish name for example, so is Sarah. If it comes from the male side of the family, somewhere there is a male who was more than likely a Levite....or if it's a female, her father was a Levite....the surname could have been something different but would have ended with Ha Levi for Jewish records. Not all Levy's etc are Levites but I'd say in this case they probably are and that's why it's been carried down.

              Hi Naomi
              I don't think the Levien name came through to the family via James. He was born in Wells Norfolk, from census records & I can't find any evidence of this name in Norfolk.

                I see that the MMN for Irene (1912q4) is transcribed as "Shobridge".

                Looking for marriages turns up too many possibilities: not hundreds, but too many to guess with.

                Christine

                PS... there is a death for Irene Ella BRECH, age 88, in Oct 2000, whose DoB was 21 Sep 1912. This would go with the marriage of Irene E L Thompson in 1936q3 Brentford (that spouse doesn't come up readily, either).

                  Christine - Brentford and West Surrey make sense if they stayed in the area.
                  Moggie - let's hope there's a birth cert for Charlotte! ; -)
                  Di - Are you looking to make contact with the family in a forward sense re; Christine's info.

                          Just been looking in the London Gazette - quite a few mentions of the name e.g
                          Able Seaman Albert William Levien Thompson abandoned the Levien part in 1934,
                          in 1955, William Henry Levien Thompson was announced as a Storehouseman at
                          Priddy's Hard and Rupert Arthur Levien Thompson was announced as a Coppersmith...
                          London Gazette Home Page
                          It might also be worth chasing up Lewis's father's role in the Boer War..there should be some records for him.

                            Levien Thompson

                            What a coincidence my grandfather Ernest Levien Thompson worked at Priddys Hard.

                              Possibly not a coincidence - maybe a connection.

                              This site is interesting:
                              Priddy's Hard.

                                Hi Christine - Yes, I agree...probably find that more of the family worked there as well.

                                  Priddys Hard used to be one of our biggest employers here in Gosport. Even my mother had to work there as part of her war effort, only having to leave when she was carrying me because it was a munitions depot.

                                        Hi Di
                                        Have I missed something? I thought it was John's birth cert you were sending for to find out Charlotte's maiden name.
