[Guest]

That's the one that we all think is hers.

I think Karen might have her death certificate

[Sylvia C]

I have to admit that I am now getting confused with what has been posted on which thread!!!


but then, I am easily confused these days :D

Unfortunately i cant see the documents, ive only just started using this site. When i click on the document it tells me I do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

How do i get more privileges??

Yes me too -
I think we have 2 Fanny's on 1841 born either 1811 or 1821, so not sure which is correct.

Burial record that ties in with her date of death and place, stating she is 37, meaning birth to be 1808

Bartlett living with James Larkam in 1851
James Larkam living with others and own means in 1861

Bartlett in school 1861
Various census Bartlett with wife and family

is that where we are?

Carolyn ... I think so!!

That's a good summation.

Of course, the school MIGHT have provided bursaries or scholarships or free education for boys who fit certain criteria.

I did notice in one reference to the school that it was Quaker.

That makes two of us Sylvia...as I keep saying I'm new to this, but having put out more than 1 thread to try and get to the bottom of Bartlett Bennetts father/education/farm etc I'm struggling to keep up with it all but I am appreciating everyone's enthusiasm and help

I believe 1 Palace Place is a stone throw away from Buckingham Palace, is there any way we can find out who also lives there??

Here's the rate book for 1845 and Scotland yard is a few lines down
