Find Ancestors

hi, has anyone heard of or know where lord and lady autry lived in lambeth in the 1900-1925 plz as i have been trying to find them for ages without success thanks

do you know their first names? are you sure of the spelling and pronounciation?

the only Autry in London in 1901 is a frederick ,....and although even lords and ladies land on their backsides sometimes, this one is in an assylum! Jess Where have you got their names from please - where do they fit in the great plan?

my grandma was in service for them , but i am not sure of the spelling or ponounciation.

hi chris i cant find them anywhere , thats why i need a bit of help

Is that just a name you were told, or was you gran old enough to have been in service for them around 1900?

Ok, lets try it this way, what was your nans name and when was SHE born?

Karen, If you have got the correct spelling,,,,,,if you can visit a local Record Office or Archive,,,and look in Burks Peerage Books simular to Whos Who,,,perhaps they like people of their stature only used the London address on occasions,,,,,and had their home else where. If it is still an on going family name,,then they could be listed in Whos Who and copies of these are kept in the Reference Section of a good Library, Kay, Googling the name didnt bring any results>

Possible spellings Aughtrey, Oughtry/trey Awtry/Awtree etc. nell

i have a picture of my gran in service for the people, my mum has just told me it would have been abt 1920-25 when she was in service

where have you looked for them so far?

i have looked on most censuses and on other websites, i dont know what other websites to go on karen

Have you found them on ANY census at all?

no i cant find them anywhere, i know they existed because my gran is pictured with them and she has writen on the back lord and lady autry karen

How old is your gran in the picture and how old are they? she has spelled it AUTRY has she? these are all the Autry head of household in 1901 will look and seif occupations or address give anything away Elizabeth Autry abt 1862 Leeds, Yorkshire, England Head Armley Yorkshire single - 34 canal lane George Autry abt 1854 Ireland Head Holbeck Yorkshire , a 'swiller' in a cloth mill Hanah M Autry abt 1848 Wakefield, Yorkshire, England Head North Manchester Lancashire a widow , occupation to do with railways Walter Autry abt 1855 Dewsbury, Yorkshire, England Head Dewsbury Yorkshire - a railway goods porter Walter Autry abt 1866 West Ardsley, Yorkshire, England Head Leeds Yorkshire - inn keeper publican

Karen, I have just looked Burks Peerage of the Gentry .on-line,,and there is no titled family with that name,,,,,,either as a Sir ???or Lady, but he may have been granted that tltle by way of Naval connections,,,,,???? The nearest to it,,,Audley ,,& Hawtry ,,,and |Hawtry have connection to Corfu Castle.. kay,

Tried a few spelling varients in ''The Times'' archive - no luck at all. Still carrying on...... Sarah

many thanks to all who are looking, i still cant find them either , i will keep looking as i need to find them karen

How about this? Your grandma may have had a London accent??? Could Autry actually be Hawtrey?? Sir Charles (1858-1923) and Lady Katherine Elsie Hawtrey were in the Theatre (the Charles Hawtrey of Carry-On fame took his stage name from Sir Charles - they are not related). Anyway, there are lots of sites about Sir Charles Hawtrey, one with a photo for you to compare is: http://www.oliveweb.clara.net/clark-hogg/ch-gallery-hawtrey-charles.htm I have his obit fromThe Times if this is the right chap. Even if it isn't the right man, I am pleased as the obit tells me his bro-in-law was a man my gran had a ''dalliance'' with lol - I never knew that!!! What a co-incidence! Happy Hunting MMM

thankyou MMM, i will have a look at the site and let you know karen
