Some of you kindly tried to help me find the Beatrice who appeared as a 5 years old grand daughter on my Rotherhithe Horstead lot in 1901. Well, no nearer finding her birth cert but I have now got her marriage cert in my sweaty hand. Called Ellen Jane Beatrice Elinor (so aunt was right about who mum was). AND to top that Ive just been looking up info on her husband and woo hoo, several trees on his lot - AND a Lord Mayor of London in direct line. Lovely, Im on the way to having more titles than O.C. at this rate.;)

Oh, girls, now don't fight!
My grandfather ran a picture framer's shop in Stoke Newington Church Street, almost opposite the Library. They had a series of pictures of the mayors at one time and my grandfather used to joke that he'd "framed all the mayors"!
Well done Heather.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy

Ken is Mayor of London
Lord Mayor of London is something to do with the City Guilds and is an honorary post that you can only hold for one year and is elected by members of the Guild (I think). Dick Whittington was Lord Mayor.Zoe in London

I second that, after all Heather often brags about her docker ancestors leaving property and monies.

LOL, yes Glen but that bloke was the descendant of Sir Walter Acton, so I rest my case. And then there is the Gamages, of Gamage shop fame, came over with the Normans and I understand are related to the Dudleys (Lord Dudley/QE1)
Latest addition is Sir Frederick Hill - woo hoo, a Lord Mayor of London (not class though O.C. they were industrialists, never the less). Ive also just found a one world tree with my bloke in, contacted the guy in the states and he immediately responded and is sending me some photos of this guy who married Beatrice aka Ellen aka Jenny. He said that his aunt remembers this bloke sending his Bentley round to pick her up to take back to play with his kids for the weekend. LOL, I have told him that when said bloke died my Beatrice/Jenny married said young Chauffeur who then fleeced her of her money!

Oh oh oh, just got some pics from the guy in the states - this is my bloke and his first wife and kids: Im beginning to think it may be worth putting a tree on ancestry now, as my best contacts are coming through that.

Isn't that gorgeous! What a lovely thing to get.
As you say, it does serve as a recommendation for Ancestry trees!
