  • oh me gads you are running off with me... lol, I have just spent the best part of three smegging hours to transcribe the will of Adam Larkin. I was reading and daughter was writing.

    I think that she may well have been lodging with John? on the 41 census but I haven't looked into this deeply yet.

    her parents were Henry Briggs and Elizabeth Sanders and she was known as Sophia Sanders otherwise Briggs.. parents not married?

    Adam was Quartermaster Corporal in the Life Guards and was born 1790 ish [47 at death]

      I think this is them in 1841, dates are a bit out maybe - looks like right name combinations

      they have a Jane Larkin

      think these will be on gro as on FMP
      Larkin
      Jane Elizabeth
      1837
      Clerkenwell, London, England

      Larkin
      William
      1840
      Clerkenwell, London, England

      Larkin
      Emily Selina
      1842
      Clerkenwell, London, England

      also looked for a victualler James Larkin in newspaper, only mention of one that had died in Kent.

      Then did wonder if there was a military connection in her father, and he had now left and was drifting around jobs.

      so if my Sophie [Adams wife] had three children Sophie 1832 William Henry 1834 and Adam in 1837 and then he snuffed it.. who the heck are James & Sophie living and producing children in Clerkenwell?? with the same names?

            Yes I saw John Pike.. I have just been researching and looking for info and adding deaths of Sophie Sanders Briggs and Sophie Larkin actress and trawling through endless burial registers to see that they are both buried in the same grave, but 33 ish years apart.

                Yes, Eliza Conston also has a sister Mary Ann? I think I saw her somewhere when Sophia was visiting. [Though I have been looking at so many different records I may be getting slightly muddled]

                  • Sorry I should have posted, did go down that rabbit hole, and thought as she was not Larkins...I left it!

                    Eliza Biggs marries mr Corston (sorry didn't note), and gave birth to Mary Ann, so assumed she was Sophia sister. Didn't pursue further.

                        yes I think Julie hoping for a link, but seems to be hard to find. William Henry Larkin b 1835 had many children one of whom was Susannah Drusilla Larkin.

                        I was hoping that going back they maybe we would get some brothers (and sisters). I got a bit sidetracked as sister Sophia Larkin b1833 never married and was a comedienne and an actress, and she is all over the newspapers.

                        Adam Larkin was b in Lancaster b1790 and was in army.

                        There is also a James Rodney Larkin b c1799 - he seems to originate from Blackfriars, and does have a daughter Jane Larkin b1837, but I think she marries a Hargreaves. His wife is Sophia too! and a son William...but think they are a red herring.

                        • Thanks Carolyn. So you started with William H Larkin in Kensington who had a child with Drusilla as one of her names. If no break thru at least all the work will help eliminate.

                          I will look elsewhere at the witnesses to the marriage and baptisms. We have an Ellena Brown as sponsor for Adeline and what is probably friends/neighbours for William H's bap and the 1st marriage.

                          I wonder if the Army Pension records for William and for Ann as a widow would throw out some c!ues. I have identified x 3 records at the NA but unfortunately not digitalised.

                          • I wonder if Nancy Larkin can be Anne

                            I was looking at the Ellen/a Larkins Sponsor for Adeline and came across this family in 1851

                            Ellen Larkin widow 50 b Ireland
                            John Larkin son 15 Labourer 15 b Ireland
                            Nancy Larkin 12 b Ireland

                            Living 13 Gardener Lane, Westminster

                            In 1861 just Ellen and John no Nancy

                            In 1871 Ellen, John, his wife Elizabeth (Daly) and g/dau Ellen living Westminster

                            In 1881John , Eliza, Ellen living Westminster. Mother Ellen in W/house. Dies 1888

                            No John Eliza Ellen after 1881 or any sign of Nancy. Wonder if they emigrated.
                            Baps for their children give Sponsors of Helena Larkin and Maria Larkin.

                            EDIT I think she may have been indentured to work in Australia in 1854.

                              Sorry I had been looking at records. Vera, what I'm trying to do now is track ALL Larkin families that appear in Kensington as it seems a bit odd to me that she should 'appear' [Ann Larkins] and marry William Brown. I was kind of hoping that by tracking the Larkin/s that I might find a glimmer of light and hopefully be able to go a bit further back on this line. I'm probably going about this in a whole wrong way though.

                              Ellen Brown is Williams sister. No clue on the other sponsors/godparents in the baptisms though.

                              Absolutely nothing in the service records for William, except that he was a FWK and came from Kirkby. States he was a Corporal at the time of retiring through ill health. He dies in 1872 [from memory] and Ann remarries in 1876.

                                  Silly me. I didn't recheck the bap record. Thought it was Ellena Larkin. Well at least got to eliminate Ellen with children John and Nancy

                                  Only way to go with this one but for an Irish family it's odd Ann doesn't have family members as sponsors/witnesses . And then not knowing who father is? Have you had sight of the Notts mc re name of father? Probably another name.

                                  I'll keep looking at sponsors/witnesses for now.

                                    I thought it was Ellen Brown on bapt, I'll have to re check!.. [yes god mother is Ellena Brown on Briggedas/Adalines bapt]

                                    Yes I have all of her m/certs. Ist James licensed victualler [1865] 2nd Matthew labourer [1869] to the same person!! 3rd and final Matthew labourer in 1876. All of the witness names don't have any connection familywise to them.

                                    Maybe she was illegitimate or just didn't know who her father was. I have no idea!

                                        I guess that this is another red herring then? and I'm guessing that James Rodney is the one with wife Sophie in the 1841 census? [I had been chasing up and marrying off William Henrys children... ] got as far as Charles William and he married a Jane Fanny BROWN!.. yea gads!

                                        • Sorry I don't know anything about religion is it possible that Ann wasn't catholic and William was? and she then converted.

                                          Were the marriages both catholic?

                                          there does seem to be a lot of William Henry's but not unusual names.
