I suppose because I knew the story already I never bothered to get a death certificate for Louisa. When I was writing up her story recently I thought I should order it just for completeness really. And now I’m glad that I did as, although it tells me nothing new, it is worded in a way that makes it interesting. I wonder how I would have felt if I had ordered the certificate before I knew the rest of the story.

What a sad story, but how lucky to have been able to find out so much! And it shows how putting names out there might make a link, so here's one to try!!
I have a Sophia Caesar married to James Elkins (my 2nd cousin 5x removed) in 1847 Wrecclesham .... she died in 1849.

Thanks, Kat, but I already have that information. Ruby was my grandmother and the photo of the children came from my great aunt Daisy's shoebox. I think my first task to solve the question is to decide when the photo was taken then see if I can find a set of children that matches the sex and approximate ages of the ones in the photo. The Caesar's had a lot of cousins in Surrey and I wondered if some had come to visit. I'm trying to look for reasons why the photo was taken too - it was no small thing to have pictures taken in those days.

Were any of your people involved in cricket? I have a book by Graham Collyer called Farnham Cricket Club 1782-1982 which has lots of names and 20th C photos of teams.

I've just had a quick look and the William Ireson that I have was married to Mary Ann Beldham in 1827. He's a twig on a side branch so that's really all I know about him at the moment.
Stovold rings a bell too, but I don't think I have any in my tree. Maybe I have just come across the name in my reading about the area.

Originally posted by Gardengirl View PostThank you, Caroline. That looks like a bit of treasure worth pursuing. I notice the name William Ireson on that map, he's definitely a name on my tree somewhere. I have lots of family from Farnham, Tilford and Wrecclesham and I'm sure they all needed bread and confectionery so probably did know your people.
13 Abbey Street (demolished)
Here was The Bricklayer's Arms. A pub of this name existed in the 1830s under the ownership of William Ireson. Its licence was transferred to a new building in Weydon Lane c, 1939, the old house being demolished in 1954.
My Elkins ancestors were blacksmiths/gunsmiths in Wrecclesham, other main local names are Taphouse, Stovold, Hudson and Hart.
