151 She had a club foot Margot (I408)
 
152 She is sometimes called Elizabeth Jane - not sure which is correct. Weston, Jane Elizabeth (I1230)
 
153 She never married - looked after her mother, who died aged 96. Boyton, Ivy Florence (I290)
 
154 She used a cross, rather than sign the marriage certificate. Also on David's birth certificate. Playle, Sarah (I73)
 
155 She would have been only 18 when Ivy was born, and David would have
been 5 years older. I remember her - a tiny lady, always twinkling,
with a lovely scent I've always associated with her - lavender maybe, or 4711? 
King, Florence Maud (I289)

Weston, John (I35)
 
158 St Georges Church tells his existance. I have assumed he is the Peter who married Amelia. I have yet to tie him in with mention of a Peter and Amelia Chamarette in Bengal. The possibility is high since their son Robert was baptised in Bengal and his father's occupation given as Apothecary Hyderabad Contingent. Chamarette, Peter (I315)
 
159 test Weston, John (I317)
 
160 The 1861 and 1871 census entries are speculative until Stephen's death is established. He doesn't appear himself in 1861, and there are two possible deaths in Thanet between 1851 and 1861. The 1871 census entry is especially uncertain since Ancestry doesn't show if it was St Laurence parish in Thanet or some other one. Carden, Sarah (I736)
 
161 The 1881 census entry seems likely as she starts on her career - though the Turks have classified her as a servant, which would be mortifying for a governess. The 1891 census in Gloucestershire has her as a visitor of the right age.  Weston, Mary Woodhouse (I124)
 
162 The 4 month old granddaughter Minnie F Boyton must be Florence's
illegitimate child - Emma was even younger. 
Boyton, Florence K (I302)
 
163 The birth places are different in the 1891 census. The places are very close together however, and all the people are right.  Thomas, William (I39)
 
164 The certificate gives her time of birth - half past three o'clock in the morning. Her father is given as a horsekeeper. Mother Eliza, formerly Pope, made her mark. She lived in St Radigunds St, St Mary Northgate. Norris, Ellen (I673)
 
165 The family moved to the UK in January 1962. Family F216
 
166 The file is available online at https://archive.org/details/hKnw_list-of-inscriptions-on-tombs-or-monuments-in-heh-the-nizams-dominions-compiled-/page/n3/mode/2up
It is very large so I have only picked out sections from it to upload here.

167 The Institute in 1881 appears to be a school. The age is different to 1871, but since they put him out of order after Harry and before John, he was probably about 15 months not 5 years old then. Lindsell, Ernest (I895)
 
168 The Maria Ketts I can find in the 1841 census are all married, and she was a spinster when she married Robert. Three are in Norfolk, which is where her daughter retired to. Kett, Maria (I101)
 
169 The occupations in 1851 definitely read 'chairwoman', but possibly they actually meant charwoman.
 
Pope, Eliza (I731)
 
170 The oldest child, Frederick, seems to have always lived with his grandmother. Family F288
 
171 The only Kathleen Daisley I found in the 1901 census is about 10 years too old. I'm assuming her name was Ethel, and that the one I found in 1911 is the correct one. Daisley, Kathleen Ethel (I349)
 
172 The only one of the Weston family still living in Brackley in 1881. Of course the sisters might still be there under married names.
Widowed by 1881. He lived in the High Street, in Brackley St Peter and was the head of household. Two servants and a relative lived with him, but no children at that time. However the relative, Annie Maria Allen, wife of Roland Allen, is the right age to be a daughter, though she was born in Towcester.

Look for an Annie Maria Weston born about 1847 in Towcester, parents Arthur and Mary. She would need to have left home before 1871, since she wasn't there for that census. 
Weston, Arthur (I57)
 
173 The term Station Agent became Station Master somewhere around this time on some railways Weston, Robert (I46)
 
174 The writer. Thackeray, William Makepeace (I548)
 
175 There are two later Williams so he must have died Chamarette, William (I515)
 
176 There is a later William very soon after this christening, so I guess this William died Chamarette, William Henry (I61)
 
177 There is information about Baldwin's School, Bangalore at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2960/baldwin.htm

The following people are mentioned in a list of benefactors:-
Mr. Edwin Weston
The Late Louisa Ash Weston
Miss Lydia Weston
The Methodist Episcopal Church, Hyderbad, Deccan
The Methodist Episcopal Church, Secunderbad, Deccan
Mr. B. J. Weston

C.N. Weston and his wife, and R.A.B. Andersen and his wife are in the list of teachers. 
Weston, Charles Newton (I84)
 
178 There was another possible marriage for James James and Ann Bowen at about the right time in the right place.
In 1873, at the Harmony Chapel of the Particular Baptists in Haverfordwest, Pembroke. He was 24, a Labourer in Coal Works, residing Penwithin, Manorowen, father Thomas James a Farm Labourer. She was 24, a housemaid, residing in Penrhyn, Llanwnda. father Henry Bowen a Farmer. They both signed ie could write.
Reasons for rejecting this were
(a) The first child was born in 1871 - but sometimes people married late.
(b) On Anne's daughter Sarah's birth certificate her mother made her mark ie could not write.
(c) James is everywhere else described as a labourer, sometimes as a farm labourer, not in a coal works.
(d) Newport is more likely than Haverfordwest.
(e) In the 1871 census,in Owen Bowen's household, his daughter Ann is there, married, name James, with a son Thomas. James James is also in the census, married but residing at the farm where he worked.  
Family F34
 
179 There was no formal marriage - date given here to show it was second liaison. Family F4
 
180 There's a long gap between the first two children and the other three. Possibly Stephen and James were children of a previous marriage. Hughes, Stephen (I735)
 
181 There's also a publication quoted in FIBIS - Index to 'Addiscombe, Its heroes and Men of Note' by Col. H M Vibert, 1894, which apparently refers to Richmond C Shakespear. Shakespear, Sir Richmond Campbell (I399)
 
182 They had been married 14 years in the 1911 census Family F536
 
183 They were both 'of full age' and not previously married. He was a coachman and lived in Lamb Lane, father Stephen who was a labourer. She lived in All Saints Lane, father William who was a hostler (ostler maybe?). They were married in the parish church of All Saints in Canterbury. Family F228
 
184 They were cousins. Family F3
 
185 This information is from Lancaster Chamarette's 'Brief History'. He also said that William Thompson and his half brother Sir Richmond Shakespear were at school and university together. Also Chris Van de Byl's family tree says Winefred Amelia's father was half brother to William Shakespeare! Also Arthur Mitchell says that the mother of Winifred Amelia 'Was a widow - first marriage to Sir Richard Shakespear'.

However, since Sir Richmond's mother Emily was married to John Shakespear from at least 1806 until she died, and the schools given for each of them are different, that doesn't seem to work. 
Family F30
 
186 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Family F164
 
187 Thomas and Francis are probably not William's children - Thomas definitely started out as Thomas Sheldon, staying with his grandparents in 1871. I expect Martha didn't marry their father, and I can find no marriage for Martha and William.
Martha's parents had a different grandson, William, staying with them in 1881, about the same age as Thomas. I have found William and Thomas living in the same house in 1891, both married - they could be cousins or brothers since the ages given differ by a year.
 
Family F54
 
188 Tommy wrote a book called 'The Beard and I' about her life with Teddy. Family F404
 
189 Update to this - there is a previous Chamarette! See below in Sources - List Of Inscriptions On Tombs Or Monuments. J.D. is likely to have been his father, and was Roman Catholic which would tie up with the rumoured French origin. He was born about 1758, so 35 years old when Andrew was born.
Andrew was previously the earliest Chamarette found. No Chamarette (or Chamarett or Chamaret) has been found in England prior to that - or in fact at all until they started to return from India in the Twentieth Century. The Chamaret surname does exist in France.
 
Chamarette, Andrew (I312)
 
190 Was not at fathers house in 1841. The only possible census record I found was a basket maker living with a family in Coventry.
 
Weston, Edward Henry (I24)
 
191 We deduce this child from the 1911 census for the Dean household. Two children were born to the marriage, but only one was still living. This child must have died young before 1911 but later than the marriage in 1905 Dean, unknown (I1937)
 
192 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I145)
 
193 Why was her name not Green? Perhaps Rodgers is her married name. Rodgers, Mary (I1300)
 
194 William was married to Caroline until at least 1873. The children from that marriage stayed with Caroline. The second family is the one for our tree. Family F288
 
195 Wm and Martha are captured in the 1881 census in Birmingham with Thomas and Francis, then in the 1891 census in London with the youngest three. Thomas and Francis would be 21 and 19 in 1891 - old enough to have left home. Family F54
 
196 Would they REALLY have baptised two of their children Alfred? (Both lived). This one seems to have been a twin of Margaret. Perry, Alfred (I1518)
