Letter signed by A.S.Gunnell - looking to return to family member

[herky]

I have found Ann S Gunnell and Wm Ham in 1881 - living in Kensington - he is a coachman.
Perhaps Ann was a servant at Lattimer House prior to marriage and that is how they met.

1881 Census 58 Pembroke Road, Kensington
William Ham, bc 1856, Worldham, Hampshire, coachman
Ann S Ham, wife bc 1840, Brantford, Midddlesex
Elizabeth J Ham, bc 1870, Brentford
William Ham, bc 1875, Hammersmith
John Ham bc 1878, Hamersmith
Louisa (no date given for birth), b Kensington

I am probably still on the wrong family - but just in case - 1891
William mistranscribed as RAM - living with Annie (wife) and 2 children - he is still a coachman.
I m not sure if this is the same Ann or if he has remarried as the age is way out and they have a 2 year old child???

This is a really interesting mystery! Ann S Gunnell was in Brentford in 1851 and 1861 (Front Street and North Road respectively). Brentford is very near to acton and chiswick. Then in Mar 1867 there is a marriage between
Ann Sarah Gunnell and William Ham in Kensington Vol1a Page63
What do you think?? I'd say it's a definite possibility (:
Darannon

A definite possibility, parts of Acton did/do come under Kensington, that is my family area!

Oh thank you SO much Herky - Darannon and Viv. You have been busy

I have to fly now as we are out tonight and I need a bath. But I have copied all that down and I shall be itching to see if I can find any descendants of the couple. I'm sure you have found the right ones, it all fits so well. I despaired of finding another A S Gunnell.

Hi Chrissie, I've been following this thread but too slow to be of any help! Let me know when you need me
Margaret

[Chrissie Smiff]

Thanks again Margaret I should hopefully need you quite soon now

And a great big thank you again to Herky and Darannon for finding her
YES, it's her. I have just found the marriage cert on Ancestry and she has signed it. The signature is IDENTICAL to the one on the letter WOOOOOOO
I'm SO excited

p.s. Isn't genealogy great

[Valice in Wonderland]

So nice to have proof positive, via a signature

[Chrissie Smiff]

It is Val

Can anyone help please. I think I may have found one of the children's marriage. I can't find their childs birth though.
It says born Notting Hill on the census. There are only two possibles and one is St Giles and one is Pancras. Any idea which, if any, it could be please?

[Elaine ..Spain]

What year are you talking about.

Notting Hill may come under the Kensington registration district - but I am not 100% sure

[Rosi Glow]

Notting hill IS near Kensington...
