51	Great Grandfather. I remember he had a large and very prickly moustache. Roy says he failed in the fish business (lots of others in the family also in fish) and moved to Francis Road, London about 1914.	Boyton, David (I288)
52	Great Great Grandfather. Grandfather was there in the 1881 Census aged 10	Boyton, David (I287)
53	Guesses at the people in the Wedding Photograph: The couple in the middle are Robert and Phyllis. Next to Robert is Lancaster, next to Phyllis is George - the fathers. Next to George is Lancaster's wife Mabel Plumb. The woman in the corresponding position next to Lancaster is too young to be George's wife Ann Cameron - we'll get back to her and the boy she's holding later. That covers the mothers. The man standing behind George is very like John Edward, so the other chap at the back must be Peter - the grandfathers (and themselves brothers). The women sitting with (probably) husbands at each end would be matrons of honour - I expect they are Robert's sisters, Francis and Ethel. Phyllis didn't have any siblings. The women standing at the back are probably cousins. George's sister Winifred married Lancaster's brother Whitelaw, so their children would be cousins of both the bride and the groom. That leaves the woman and boy next to Lancaster. This is pure guesswork. George's wife might have had another daughter then a son then died (perhaps at his birth). The daughter might act as a mother to the boy, which would explain her protective stance. The girls in mobcaps are pretty generic, though the older one who considers herself much too old to be classed with these babies, looks as though she has character. The two in the middle are trainbearers - they are still carefully clutching the bride's train. The other two have baskets - probably of rose petals or confetti. The girl in a different outfit is probably the child of the couple nearest to her. I wonder why she was not a bridesmaid - maybe she refused wilfully as small children are wont to do - that's why she looks so sulky - she has realised that it would have been nice. Maybe that's her elder sister next to her, who was forced to take her place, wishing she was in more grown up clothes.	Family F58
54	Guesses for the people in the Family Photograph: Arthur standing, and Mary Fallon (Birdie) sitting on the right. The oldest girl on the left my grandmother Beryl, and the other girl her sister Winifred (Flossie). Both from Arthur's previous marriage. The oldest boy boy at the back Arthur, and the other boy John. Then the babe in arms would be the second Winifred (Winnie).	Family F27
55	H is shown as George William on his birth certificate, but all other references (census, marriage) show him as George Henry.	Boyton, George Henry (I304)
56	He and Sarah his wife were both staunch Methodists	Weston, John Augustus (I246)
57	He is in the 1911 census a private in the 16th Lancers in barracks at Weedon, Northamptonshire, England. The list is too long to put the census entry in.	Boyton, Bertie David (I1595)
58	He is shown as 15 in April 1881, but must have been 13.	King, Amos (I335)
59	He left India in 1947 shortly after India was granted independence, though the older children had gone to England before the war. According to Florence they went to Newcastle because Winifred's husband Edward Davis came from there, and they had no other ties in England.	Weston, Edwin Ash (I113)
60	He must have died young since there was a later Andrew in the family	Chamarette, Andrew (I497)
61	He retired from the army as a Sergeant Major in 1860, and took up service in the Nizam's Public Works Department - as an accountant - until he died in 1878.	Weston, John (I35)
62	He signed the marriage certificate, so he could write - Sarah used a cross.	Boyton, David (I72)
63	He was Burgess of the Borough of Brackley in 1789, Alderman in 1796, and Mayor 1797, 1801, 1804, 1807, 1811, 1819, 1824, 1827 and 1834.	Weston, John (I317)
64	He was Coroner of the county of Northampton for 55 years, and High Steward of the Manor & Borough of Brackley until he retired in 1858. He was elected a Burgess in 1858 and in the following year Alderman and subsequently Mayor of Brackley.	Weston, Robert (I328)
65	Her address was 11 Lincoln Street Chelsea, his was 24 Norman Street Chelsea	Family F111
66	Her daughter's birth certificate says her maiden name was English. I had her down previously as Hearn, but have no note of the source - presumably Sheila Reynolds?	English, Hannah (I1594)
67	Her husband Owen was a widower in the 1891 census so she died between 1881 and 1891.	Anne (I860)
68	Her sister Catherine married John Weston.	Burford, Mary (I759)
69	Her sister Mary married John Shorter.	Burford, Catherine (I69)
70	Her son (James) George was my Grandfather. His father was said to be a deceased theatrical artiste on Grandpa's marriage certificate. Grandpa was vehemently against him according to Dad. Grandpa's mother later married Thomas Muse who had a house in Suffolk. An A Muse was a witness at Grandpa's marriage, along with Grandma's parents. Almost all the Muse's in the 1901 census are in the north of England. Dad remembers a Fox, known as 'uncle' who had a lot of property in Stoke Newington. He used to ride around on his bicycle repairing and taking rents. Grandpa joked that he would inherit the property since he was the only living relative.	Hughes, Sarah Anne (I5)
71	His grandson Charles Newton Weston says that his father, John Augustus, had three older brothers (who all regularly took liquor) so there would have to be at least two other children here. Robert Shorter Weston seems like an extremely good fit for various reasons noted on his page. However, Karen Brown, Emily Maude's great granddaughter, was told by her mother that there were only four children. The oldest Emily Maude, then John Augustus, then two daughters Lydia and Alice. So there is quite a bit of mismatch here, and all the sources seem good.	Family F32
72	His uncle was Major Poyntz of the British Service.	Thompson, William Arthur Milton (I492)
73	http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Ystradyfodwg/slaters.1880.html gives useful information about the places - Treherbert was in the parish of Ystradyfodwg, which is now called Rhondda.	Family F33
74	http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/welcomewalls/ gives 1948 which is impossible! Assuming 1918 but could be 1908 or 1928 given daughter's age.	Cameron, Aileen (I378)
75	I have assumed that Elizabeth's son William (6 in 1851) is the same as son Henry (17 in 1861).	Pope, Elizabeth (I766)
76	I have assumed that the Thomas Turnbull that Andrew worked with is also the one whose granddaughter married Andrew's son Peter. Thomas was an apprentice from the Madras Male Orphan Asylum. Most of the boys were the children of Indian mothers and British fathers, presumably married, though this is not actually mentioned. The fathers were mainly soldiers killed in action, and although the boys were termed 'orphans' it seems that sometimes the mothers were still around.	Turnbull, Thomas (I811)
77	I have assumed that William in the 1851 census is the same as Henry in the 1861 census.	Pope, William (I767)
78	I have assumed the 1901 census household indicated is correct because: -Birth place and date are approximately correct - she may not have known she was born in Marylebone and guessed at Bethnal Green like her sister. -Sarah is given as married but same name as parents -George would be a VERY late child for Sarah's mother. -I remember some family talk of a Kent connection. -At her later marriage to Thomas Muse Sarah gives her father's name as Noah (though she crossed out Hughes and put Norris.	Hughes, Sarah Anne (I5)
79	I have assumed this is the Sarah James who married William Charles Thomas in Pembrokeshire since I can find no other Sarah James of the right age in either place in either census with a father of the right name with the right occupation.	Family F52
80	I have not entered the results I found for the 1851 and 1861 censuses. I found two households which might be that of James's father. In one James is 4 in 1851 and 14 in 1861 and his father John is a farmer. In the other James is 2 and 12 and his father John is a farmer in 1851 but in 1861 he is a mason. Both households are in Dinas, Pembrokeshire. I have also found those households in 1841, but have not transcribed the entries. In that year the second John describes himself as a Miller - miller then farmer then mason! We would expect James to be 11 or 12 in 1861, which points at the second John as his father - the one who couldn't settle down.	James, James (I42)
81	I have not found her birth in the appropriate date range in Madras index.	Fuker, Leonora Sarah (I813)
82	I haven't been able to find his baptism - the date of birth is that given on the St Georges Church web site, and confirmed by his marriage certificate - he was 27 in 1887. Chadarghat is now Chadherghat (according to St Georges Church) and is in the cityof Hyderabad.	Chamarette, Arthur John Andrew (I322)
83	I originally thought this John Shorter was the one born to John and Mary in 1792, but I have now found his burial - in 1792. So this is another John Shorter.	Family F292
84	I'm assuming that the father is the Charles who died in 1924 until proved otherwise. In both cases no family or occupation are given, and the age is about right.	Chamarette, Charles (I783)
85	I'm not sure if the death in 1891 is her. If the birth of the second daughter called Amelia is correct in 1900 there is a problem with this!	Chamarette, Winifred Amelia Mary (I51)
86	Impossible to get further here, since they were unmarried, and we don't know his name. Dad thought he was James George but...	Unknown (I4)
87	In (brother) Richard Burford's will 1782, the only child of this marriage mentioned is Vade.	Family F409
88	In 1841 census William and Eliza Norris had two children, William and Ellen. In 1851 census Eliza was head of family, surname Norris and she had children called Norris and a daughter and grandchildren called Pope. In the 1861 census father William was back, and the Popes are shown as daughter- and sons-in-law. I have assumed that Elizabeth Pope was Eliza's natural daughter born before her marriage.	Pope, Elizabeth (I766)
89	In 1841 William and Eliza Norris, had two children, William and Ellen. In 1851 census Eliza was head of family, neither father William nor son William were there. Her surname was Norris and she had children called Norris and a daughter and grandchildren called Pope. In the 1861 census father William was back, and the Popes are shown as daughter- and sons-in-law. But son William is still missing. I have assumed that Elizabeth Pope was a natural daughter of Eliza's before her marriage. I have also assumed that Elizabeth's son William (6 in 1851) is the same as son Henry (17 in 1861).	Pope, Eliza (I731)
90	In 1841 William's parents, William and Eliza, had two children, William and Ellen. In 1851 census Eliza was head of family, neither father William nor son William were there. Her surname was Norris and she had children called Norris and a daughter and grandchildren called Pope. In the 1861 census father William was back, and the Popes are shown as daughter- and sons-in-law. But this son William is still missing. I have assumed that this William had children by Elizabeth Pope and then vanished (died?). So Elizabeth Pope would be 'daughter-in-law', and her children would be grandchildren on this explanation. I have also assumed that Elizabeth's son William (6 in 1851) is the same as son Henry (17 in 1861).
91	In 1881 was visiting Sam Orton in Lancs, his occupation was teacher	Weston, Robert Woodhouse (I179)
92	In a prologue to the transcript of her letter to her brother Robert, we are told that the family went to Guernsey on 20 Aug 1834, and that their son Robert died there. It also implies they emigrated from there to Australia. Note that Robert supposedly died at 10 months so the dates are a little askew here - currently we have his death as July 1834 ie before they got to Guernsey. However people are rarely exact - maybe he was a little more than 10 months, maybe his birth was towards the end of September 1833.	Family F381
93	In Charles Newton Weston's book (see Documents) he says that the Maines were an old Anglo Indian family from the Central Provinces.	Maine, Mary Anne (I257)
94	In his book (see Documents), Charles Newton Weston (his grandson) says due to financial difficulties John could not go to public school, but was sent to Canada at an early age where the family had some landed interests. When he came home he decided there were no prospects for him in England and enlisted in a regiment to proceed to India. His father begged him to reconsider and offered to buy him out but he refused to consider any change of plans. Although Newton (as he was known in the family) got several facts wrong, this sounds like a likely scenario. It would explain why I can't find him in the 1841 census, and his disenchantment with England might be tied in with his father's impending marriage to a much younger woman. The landed interests in Canada are interesting - Edward, John's elder brother, ended up in America.	Weston, John (I35)
95	In India he was attached to the Royal Horse artillery and served in the Madras Presidency.	Weston, John (I35)
96	In LDS the only possible Mary (Catherine) Fallon was born in 1880 (6 years older than Beryl, 19 years younger than Arthur, old enough to marry in 1896) in Tamil Nadu. The only other one would have been older than Arthur.	Fallon, Mary Caroline Louise (I131)
97	In Madras there was a British Army chaplain in Madras who named his son (also born 1858) Frederick John Dealtry Lugard. This son went on to be a great soldier and administrator and 1st Baron Lugard. This could help to trace the connection to the Dealtry family.	Chamarette, James Dealtry (I122)
98	In Nicola, British Columbia, a Fanny Margaret Weston married Walter Hickens Smith on 11 Jun 1884, when she would have been 30 - a possibility.	Weston, Fanny Margaret (I168)
99	In the 1841 Census it seems that David is a lodger with the Boosey family - note that William Lindsell (also a fruiterer) is lodging there too. David's son David married Harriet Lindsell. His age is given as 15 when he would have been 18, but it's the rounded down 1841 census.	Boyton, David (I72)
100	In the 1851 Census her birthplace is given as Shoreditch, though everything else points to this being the correct family. I didn't find any Sarah Playles born in Shoreditch at the FRC, but this information from the IGI fits perfectly.	Playle, Sarah (I73)
