  • Pamela Kirk, Mrs Henry Dix

    I may have asked before (apologies if I 've done so) - it's a long standing query.

    Pamela Kirk, bp Halvergate Norfolk 15 Aug 1843, (born 5 Aug) daughter of Elizabeth Kirk.

    1851 in the family home Mundesley, with mother (now Mrs Hubbard) step-father Edward and three Hubbard half-siblings. (Pamela Kirk, born Halvergate c 1844.)

    In Q4 1859 she married Henry Dix in Erpingham Reg Dist - that's the last sighting I have of her.

    I think Henry may have been in Norwich at His Majesty's pleasure when 1861 census was taken - I've found newspaper reports to corroborate this (stealing.) If it's the same chap, he was born Scottow, 1837, and was a carrier.

    Can anyone find what became of poor old Pamela? Not much of a life so far, poor soul.

        Could he have changed his name to Edwin and take her surname as there is a baptism for a Harry Charles Kirk in 1866 St Marys Islington Mother Pamela
        Edna

          Thanks for looking, Clematised.
          I think I've found Henry with Sarah, a different wife, in 1871 & 1881. There's a possible matching Norfolk marriage.
          I do wonder if Pamela died due to pregnancy or childbirth complications, but I can't find a death????

          All I know is that her eldest half-sibling named her first child Pamela after Pamela 1. Pamela 2 married and died after child birth - the baby died aged 18 hours and the mother was buried a week later.

            http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/15...l=ReturnRecord"


            No I don't think so - this Pamela was a Pamela Barham who married an Edwin Kirk in Islington in 1865.

                Thanks, all.
                Ancestry is playing up at present, so although I can't open Val's link, Christine's post seems to rule out that Edwin & Pamela Kirk.

                I've looked under Pamela Dix, Kirk and even Hubbard (step-father's name) but to no avail. I've tried searching just entering Pamela & variants born 1843 +/-5.

                Any suggestions of other strategies I can try?

                  I did find this, although it's NOT Dix it might have been transcribed wrong or misheard.

                    maybe try *ix in surname box? there are a number of ways to spell it though

                    Dix
                    Dicks
                    Dickx
                    Diks
                    Dikes

                    I never knew that you could wildcard search with the * at the beginning before, but it is something that I tried [and remembered] how to do it.

                        Thanks Julie & Chrissie.
                        I think that lady was probably Pamela Clark, who married John Dix in Norwich in 1864:(

                            I think it might have been, Chrissie.
                            There was another John Rix marriage (Erpingham 1863) but I only came across the 1864 one for a John marrying a Pamela.
