Find Ancestors

Hi all you super slueths. You were all great a couple of days ago so I thought I would push my luck and try to follow the male line of Augustus Henry Neave born Islington, in 1852. He married Alice E. ???? and I think he may have died in 1900. Specifically I am trying to find out where he died, the surname of his wife and the names of his children if he had any. It is nearly 11pm here in Sydney, Australia so I will stay on line and see what happens. As I have stated previously it would be nice to track down some living Neave relatives in the Uk, so I can visit a live one instead of going to the cemetery as I have on my previous visits.
Thanks.
Phil Neave

The marriage will be on freebmd, a site for ALL bmd's between 1837 and approx 1940

Nope - no marriages for him at all, perhaps he didn't officially marry Alice or - what looks like a second wife - Edith. Will keep hunting in case his name is wildly mistranscribed!

I looked on that site Flick but could not locate it.

Thanks Alex.

Well second 'wife' Edith - from the fact her sister is living with them - Edith was a Mensforth - not finding any marriages for her.

Edith's age is actually 30 - not 50. Seems she may have been born in 1859 in Gainsborough district.

in 1881 Edith's sister Lousia is at 55 & 57 Brixton Orphange, Barrington Rd, Lambeth. (As Monsforth on Findmypast).

Edith - down as Mensfork b. 1861 - is at Convallesant Home, Dover St Mary The Virgin in 1881.

As he didn't appear to have any legitimate offspring, the only living relatives you MAY find would be through his brother..............IF he married etc

Marriages Dec 1902

thanks Alex I tried Augustus but his only son died before he was one year old. So the only brother left in the uk seems to be Stephen John born in 1842. The remaining brothers William Fredrick and Charles Alfred(my gg grandfather) both came to Australia.

Not having much luck finding Edith after 1891, she may have taken up living with someone else under another name - which I think may have also happened with Alice post 1881 as there are no likely deaths, unless they were mistransribed.

thanks for you help to flick.

No progeny for Richard...........

While you guys are investigating do you have any idea where I can find out where my ggg grandfather George James Neave born 1809 is buried, apart from contacting all the cemeteries around North Finchley where he died in 1887.

Thanks Flick I did forget about Richard James.

Ask for an NBI lookup........there is a thread on Records offering these.....posted by Victor.

You will have to send a PM....he doesn't deal with requests on his thread.
