The Children of James Barrand and Emma Lash

Emma Mary Ann was the first, born on the 30^th November, 1853 Birth Ref: Clerkenwell 1854 - 1st Qtr (1b - 503) at 11, Goswell Terrace: No: 2106 on the Registers and baptised on 15th January, 1855. The family address is shown as 11, Goswell Terrace, St. James, Clerkenwell and this is the address of Emma Lash's parents. Emma is shown on the 1861 census for the family at 22, Margaret Street, and then working as a domestic servant in St. Pancras on the 1871 census, aged 17. Emma married Francis Pugh, a house decorator, builder and plumber from Wiltshire in 1875. Marriage Ref: Hampstead 1875 - 4^th Qtr (1a - 1151). They had 3 children: Albert Francis. (b 11/04/1876); Ernest Edward (b 1878) & Edwin James (b 14/03/1880) but none of them continued the occupation of their father as a painter and decorator or builder. Francis Pugh's parents were Edwin Watts Pugh from Bath and Ann Beauchamp from Wiltshire, married in 1839, and Francis was the eldest of their five children.

Emma died on the 8^th June, 1885, aged 30, of Phisisis which she had suffered from for 9 months at their home of 9, Roderick Road, St. Pancras. Death Ref: St. Pancras 1885 - 2^nd Qtr (1b - 116) and Francis Pugh died in 1900, aged 49.

Alfred James was the second child of James Barrand and Emma Lash and he was born on 13^th July, 1855 at 23, Luard Street, Caledonian Road, Islington Birth Ref: Islington 1855 - 3rd Qtr (1b - 187) and baptised on the 12^th August, 1855 in Holborn. He is shown on the 1861 census, aged 6 and the 1871 census aged 16 living with the family. By 1871, at the age of 16, Alfred James was working with his father as a Solicitor’s clerk. He married Sarah Elizabeth Barrand, (the daughter of Isaac Andew Barrand and Mary Reece) (Isaac Andew Barrand and James Barrand – Alfred’s father were cousins) Marriage Ref: Hackney - 1880 - 1^st Qtr (1b - 509)

They had just 1 child, Oscar Alfred Birth Ref: Hackney 1880 - 4^th Qtr (1b - 557) but Sarah Elizabeth died on the 27^th December, 1880 aged 22, just 19 days after the birth of Oscar Alfred, of metritis, peritonitis and exhaustion due to infections with the birth of Oscar Alfred, at the family home of 99, Graham Road, Hackney, and was buried in Abney Park Cemetery Ref: G08 (Index 3S05) on 30th December, 1880. Death Ref: Hackney 1880 - 4th Qtr (1b - 339)

Alfred James is next found living with Jacob Starr and Susan (nee Barrand) on the 1881 census. Susan Barrand was Alfred James’s grandfather’s daughter (His Aunt). Alfred James then re-married to Mary Biglands (b 1854) from Wigton at the Parish Church in Holme Cultrum, Cumbria on the 5^th July, 1882 Marriage Ref: Wigton 1882 - 3^rd Qtr (10b - 711) Alfred James was visiting Aaron Routeledge, a son of Robert Routeledge and Phoebe Sherol, and who was a brother of his Grandmother, Ann Routeledge. Aaron Routeledge had moved to Holme Cultrum from Chatham in the 1820s and was well established as a prominent businessman in the area. Alfred James Barrand met Mary Biglands whilst on the visit to Cumbria. On the marriage certificate, the address given by Alfred James Barrand is Downs Park Road in Hackney, which is the address he also died at in 1885. They were married in Holme Cultrum, the home of Mary Biglands, but after the marriage, Alfred James and Mary Biglands moved back to London and they had 2 children: Harold John Biglands (b 1883) and Edith Mary (b 1884).

Mary Biglands was the 4^th daughter of John Biglands and Rachel Graham, born in 1854 and baptised in 1866, at the age of 12. Alfred James died in London on the 25th September, 1885 aged 30 of Phthisis (Tuberculosis) which he had suffered from for 9 months, Death Ref: Hackney 1885 - 3rd Qtr (1b - 294) and was buried on 30th September, 1885 with his 1st wife Sarah Elizabeth Barrand in Abney Park Cemetery. Ref: G08 (Index 3S05) Why he was buried with Sarah Elizabeth is not clear, but it is is known that Alfred James and his 2^nd wife, Mary Biglands were not happily married and it appears that the Barrand family had taken the decision to authorise the burial without any input from Mary Biglands. From the death certificate of Alfred James, it certainly shows that Emma Barrand, his mother was present at his death, and not Mary, his 2nd wife. It is quite possible that Mary Biglands and Alfred James may have actually separated by the time of his death and she had taken the two young children back to Wigton. Mary died just 5 years later on the 17th May, 1890 at her families’ home of Southerfield Hall, Holme Cultrum. Death Ref: Wigton 1890 - 2nd Qtr (10b - 357) Mary died of Pneumonia and acute tuberculosis and, following her death, the children were brought up by their Aunt Jane Biglands and remained in Cumbria.

3. Eliza Martha was the third child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, born on the 21^st July, 1857 Birth Ref: Clerkenwell 1857 - 3rd Qtr (1b - 484) at the family home of 60, Margaret Street, Clerkenwell and baptised on the 16^th August, 1857 at Holy Trinity Church, Holborn. She shows on the 1861 and 1871 census with the family but in 1881 she was employed as a nurse in Haverstock Place. Eliza was employed as domestic servant when died on the 6^th January, 1889 at the age of 31 at her parent’s home which was now 22, Margaret Street, and died of meningitis and broncho-pneumonia. She was buried on the 12^th January, 1889 in St. Pancras Cemetery. Death Ref: Holborn 1889 - 1st Qtr (1b - 457) In one house on Margaret Street, a house was described containing 6 rooms, which were occupied at that time by six families, and as many as eight persons inhabited one room.

To make way for the Farringdon Road extension, 1600 houses were demolished, displacing a population estimated by the “Times” to number 16,000. Where the newly houseless population settled is difficult to determine, but it is known from reports that evicted tenants did not venture far. Some settled in the alleys just off Gray's Inn Road or, further east, in those behind Turnmill Street or off Wilderness Row. According to the Builders, these sites were the last refuge for victims of clearances and thus were “miserable in the extreme.” In the heart of Clerkenwell, Frying Pan Alley was perhaps one of the worst of these refuges, with its densely packed houses, multiple twists and turns, overflowing dust bins and standing sewage. The narrow entrance into the alley measured a mere two feet, six inches—reportedly, barely wide enough to get a coffin out, even on its side. No wonder then that Frying Pan Alley became in its turn a casualty of improvement.

22, Margaret Street, Clerkenwell - The Public House at the corner of Wilmington Place and Margaret Street was No 15, and the numbers ran in single numbers from there.

6. Susanna Emily was the sixth child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, born on the 29^th May, 1864 at 22, Margaret Street in Clerkenwell and baptised on the 18^th September, 1864 in St. Brides Church, Fleet Street, London. Birth Ref: Clerkenwell 1864 - 3rd Qtr (1b - 577) Susanna shows on the 1871 census with her family, and 1881 working as a servant, but on 1891 census Susan is working in Southampton as a hospital superintendant. She married Dr. Arthur Wellesley Harris on the 22^nd April, 1893 in Southampton. Marriage Ref: Southampton 1893 - 2^nd Qtr (2c - 23) On the marriage certificate, Susan is shown as no occupation and Arthur Harris is noted as Medical Officer of Health. Susan’s father, James is shown as a Solicitor. Arthur Harris is still shown as a Medical Officer of Health on the 1901 census and they had 2 children: Estelle (b 1894) and Bernard (b 1897), and they lived in Shirley, Southampton. The 1911 census shows that they were living in South East London, but their children were not living with them. Estelle was certainly at a boarding school in Oxford, and there are records of Bernard Harris at the School for Epileptics in Hertfordshire as a patient. It appears that Bernard travelled to the USA on several occasions (1936, 1937 & 1954) but he was alone, and there is no mention of a wife. Susannah was a witness to her sister Alice's marriage to Edward Mendham in 1903. Estelle Harris married Hugh Donald Hoggard, a dentist in Paddington, London in 1918 Marriage Ref: Paddington 1918 4^th - Qtr (1a - 50) Estelle and Hugh had 2 children (sons), Hugh and John.

Marriage of Estelle Harris to Hugh Hoggard

Lieutenant-Commander John Wellesley Hoggard, who was born on the 30^th November, 1919, died in 2002 aged 82, made three escapes from captivity during the Second World War before being consigned to Colditz Castle.

In two of them, he enjoyed only brief moments of freedom while being transferred from one prison to another. But in the third he was one of 12 officers at Sandborstal who dug a tunnel, 251 yards long, which broke the record length established in the First World War.

Some 130 tons of sand were shifted in three-hour shifts, during which the diggers periodically passed out for lack of oxygen.

When, on April 7 1942, after five months of digging, Hoggard emerged amid some piles of dung outside the camp, he set off down a road, so excited at being free at last that he burst into song in English.

After exchanging a cheery Guten Morgen with peasants as he passed a German barracks, he tried to steal a bicycle, but decided he was drawing attention to himself; he then rested in a wood where he chatted in German to a Russian who was also on the run. He had to hide in a ditch while the RAF bombed Harburg, near Hamburg, then fell into the hands of some home guard members. It was a cold night; they accepted his claim to be a French free worker who spoke no German, and let him proceed to a railway terminus.

On entering a carriage with five German soldiers, he lit a cigarette, then realised that he had drawn it from a packet with the Players Navy Cut logo on the cover. Again, his luck held. His fellow passengers failed to notice as they puffed on their pungent Turkish brands.

Hoggard travelled on to Lubeck, hoping to stow away on a ship to Sweden; but there were no ships in port, thanks to a recent air raid. He went on to Schwartau, where he was conscious of a woman in a waiting room watching him eat a chocolate bar with a Red Cross wrapper.

While wearily making his way to Travemunde, Hoggard answered “Ja” to a question he had not understood from a German seaman, who then summoned a policeman. By now he had destroyed his French papers and only had one other set, claiming that he was a Dane; he was lost, however, when asked a question in his supposed native tongue.

Finally, Hoggard's cover was completely blown when he was taken to a police station and asked a question in English, to which he replied.

Arriving back in camp he heard familiar voices in 11 cells, indicating that all his fellow escapers had been recaptured. "I was sentenced to 21 days solitary confinement," he recalled. "Quite a good run for my money."

On being sent on to Colditz, Hoggard found himself in a camp made up entirely of would-be escapers, who kept up their spirits by boisterous behaviour while working on more than 300 escape plans. Always keen to help, no matter how unpleasant the job, he assisted in the copying of maps, making ropes and keeping look-out for the men building a glider in the eaves; when a prisoner disguised as a guard who looked like the Emperor Franz Josef attempted to open the gates, Hoggard was one of those ready, with civilian dress and forged papers, to follow.

The son of a dentist, John Wellesley Hoggard was born in south London on November 30 1919 and went to King's School, Worcester, before joining the merchant marine. After the outbreak of war, he joined the Royal Navy, and served as a navigator in the armed merchant cruiser Voltaire before she was sunk west of Port of Spain in 1941.

Hoggard was wounded in the hips, and spent six hours in the water during which German snipers from the ship which had sunk them shot sharks which were attracted by the smell of British blood. He was eventually taken to Germany, where a photograph of him being taken ashore in borrowed shorts and shirt appeared in the Nazi newspaperVolkischer Beobachter.

On being released from Colditz in 1945, Hoggard was posted to the cruiser Newfoundland, then in the Far East. When they were in Australia, he was invited to take part in the first Sydney-Hobart yacht race in 1945, sailing as navigator in the Bermudian cutter Rani.

The yacht ran into a ferocious 36-hour storm from which the six-man crew emerged to find that they had been feared lost but had beaten the other seven competitors.

When Hoggard finally returned home he discovered that his name was listed among the dead on a memorial tablet at his old school; but his letter of correction was not appreciated - his old housemaster wrote back with a vague hint that he might care to contribute to the cost of removing his name.

Hoggard came out of the Service in 1947 because of failing eyesight, and went into Lloyd's. As chairman of the Colditz Association in his last years, he signalled the depletion of its membership by winding up its formal constitution and abolishing its rules, though not before he had organised the attendance of 25 members at the Horse Guards parade for Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother's birthday party.

His last formal action was to attend her memorial service. On the way he collapsed while crossing Westminster Bridge, and was picked up by a passing ambulance. But when he returned home, he characteristically failed to mention the incident to his wife, saying merely that he had a good time.

John Hoggard married, in 1948, Mary Pearson and they had two sons and a daughter.

OBITUARY ARTHUR WELLESLEY HARRIS, M.R.C.S., L.S.A., D.P.H.

We regret to record the death on February 5^th, 1945 of Dr. Arthur Wellesley Harris, formerly Medical Officer of Health and Borough Analyst for the Metropolitan Borough of Lewisham. Dr. Harris qualified as L.S.A. in 1884 and M.R.C.S. in 1885 from Charing Cross Hospital, and took the D.P.H. in 1889. After serving as Assistant Medical Officer of the Highgate (Holborn Union) lnfirrnary and as Medical Officer of Health for the Borough and Port of Southampton, he was appointed about 1900 to Lewisham, where he spent the rest of his professional life until his retirement in 1930. We are indebted to Dr. Charles Porter for the following personal memoir: Dr. Arthur Wellesley Harris had been on the retired list since 1930, consequently, though at one time he had been prominent in the affairs of the Society and of the Royal Sanitary Institute,

7. James John Barrand was the 7^th child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, born on the 19^th October, 1866 at 22 Margaret Street.

8. Alice Louise Barrand was the 8^th child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, born on the 18^th June, 1869 at 22, Margaret Street in Clerkenwell, and baptised on the 27^th April, 1879, aged 9. She was baptised on the same day as her younger brother and sister. Birth Ref: Holborn 1869 3^rd Qtr (1b - 641). Alice shows on the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census with the family, and in 1901, she is the only member of James’s family still living with him. She married Edward Walter Mendham, an accountant's clerk on the 26^th December, 1903. Marriage Ref: Islington 1903 4^{th -} Qtr (1b - 386a), and Susan Emily (Harris) was a witness to the marriage along with Alice's father James, who signed his name Barrend.

Edward Walter Mendham was a son of David Artis Mendham and Emma Tacon and was born in 1871 in Willingham in Suffolk.

On the 1911 census, James Barrand (Alice's father) was living with her and her husband, Edward Mendham and their daughter, Marjorie at Highbury Place in Islington. The family moved to Lowestoft in Suffolk and by 1939, the census shows that Edward Mendham is a Chartered Accountant. Marjorie Mendham was born on 5th October, 1905 (or 1904 according to the 1939 census) and baptised on 9th January, 1906. Marjorie Mendham married Stanley Edmund Davis (b 1905-10^th February, 1966) in Islington in 1933. They had just 1 son, John M. Davis born in Islington in 1936, but in 1939, Marjorie is found living with her parents in Lowestoft.

9. Albert Edward Barrand was the 9th child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, born on the 12^th February, 1872 (His army record shows 1873) at 22, Margaret Street in Clerkenwell and baptised on the 27^th April, 1879 along with his two sisters. Birth Ref: Holborn 1872 - 1st Qtr (1b - 687) The enlistment details however give his DOB as 12th February, 1874.

Albert shows on the 1881 census with the family but then joined the army, and on the 1891 census it shows Albert as an artillery gunner at the Portsmouth Barracks. He married Louise Edith Marion Gillett in Portsea on the 30^th July, 1893: Marriage Ref: Portsea 1893 - 3^rd Qtr (2b - 908) Albert is shown as a gunner in the Royal Artillery and Albert’s father, James is shown as a solicitor.

Louise Edith Gillett was born in Lambeth in 1873, a daughter of John Gillett & Mary Ann Maynard where John Gillett worked for the Admiralty but he died in 1883 in London. Louise was working as a servant in Portsea on the 1891 census. On the 1901 census, Louise (Gillett) is shown as "married" but there is no sign of Albert but it is presumed he was abroad on military service. On the 1901 census, they had 3 children: Emma Louise (b 1895), Albert James (b 1897) and Alice May (b 1899) In 1911, the census shows that Louise Gillett and Albert Barrand had “separated”, but again there is still no sign of Albert on any census. It is possible he was again on duty overseas. The 1911 census however, also shows that they had a further 4 children: Louise Ethel (b 1902), Winifred Lena (b 1904) and two children that died. These two children that died were twins, Alfred Charles and Edward John (b 1907). On the birth certificates of his children, Albert James, Alice, Louise, Winifred and the twins, Albert Edward has numerous different jobs, but after Louise's death in 1916, on his 2^nd marriage in 1917, he is a soldier once again.

Louise Edith Marion Barrand (nee Gillett) died on the 27^th October, 1916 at 64, Liverpool Street in Southwark, aged 43 – Death Ref: Southwark 1916 - 4th Qtr (1d - 116), of chronic Bronchitis and heart failure, and the certificate shows that Albert is now a gunner in the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. Her name is recorded as Louise Edith Barraud in the Cemetery records. Emma Louise, her daughter was present at the death of her mother, and her estate was administered by their daughter, Emma Louise and Louise Gillett’s brother Arthur John Gillett. Following the death of Louise in 1916, Albert Edward Barrand then re-married in 1917 to Mary Josephine Sullivan, who was born in 1889. Marriage Ref: Southwark 1917 - 2nd Qtr (1d - 15), where Albert is shown as a soldier once again, and they had just 1 child, Kathleen M, born on the 31^st December, 1917 at East Street in Southwark. Birth Ref: Southwark 1918 - 1st Qtr (1d - 98). Albert Edward is now shown as a trooper in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and his father is confirmed as James Barrand, a solicitor. There is a problem with Kathleen, their daughter, as the records show she died in 1927, aged 9. Death Ref: Camberwell 1927 - 1st Qtr (1d - 1100), and the death certificate for Kathleen shows she died of pleuricy on the 7^th February, 1927, but her father is shown as Thomas Barrand, a clerk at the Ministry of Labour, although a D. Sullivan (Uncle) registered the death.

The mystery deepens, as I cannot find any record for Albert Edward Barrand after 1919 and no death record, but Mary Josephine Sullivan died on 24^th November, 1932, aged 43 in Southwark of infectious endocardis. Death Ref: Southwark 1932 - 4th Qtr (1d - 32) The problem again is that the death certificate shows she was a “widow of Thomas Barrand” a clerk at the ministry of Labour. Although she died in Guys Hospital, her home address is shown as Cobourg Road, the same address as that of her daughter, Kathleen (above). Certainly, the voters’ lists for 61 Cobourg Road in 1932 show Mary Barrand living with a Dennis and Ellen Sullivan. A Mr. D. Sullivan (brother) again registered her death, so the maiden name is correct. The marriage certificates for his other children to Louise Gillett in 1925 and 1926 both show his incorrect name as Albert 'James' Barrand (deceased), so he must have died between 1919 and 1925. The death certificate for daughter Kathleen in 1927 does not show that Albert (or Thomas) had died, but on Mary Josephine's death certificate it mentions she was a widow in 1932.

The voters list of 1919 shows Albert Edward Barrand, Merrow Street, Southwark and gives his military record as S/32949 Pte., 20th Garr. Batt., R.B.

When Winifred Lena was baptised in 1907, the address shown for the family is 6, Suffield Road, Southwark, and that is the same address shown on the voters' list where Albert Edward is shown as the elector in 1919.

There is a burial on 18^th August in 1926 of Albert Edward “Baron”. This however shows a birth date of about 1884 and his address as 193 Albert Road in Peckham, but burial in Southwark. Southwark 1929 2^nd Qtr (1d – 59) Certainly, Albert Edward lived in Southwark, and his 2^nd marriage was in Southwark as was the birth and death of his daughter to Mary Sullivan.

(a) Emma Louise, was born on the 19^th November, 1894 in Portsea where Albert was posted as a gunner in the Royal Artillery. Birth Ref: Portsea 1894 - 4th Qtr (2b - 544). Emma shows on the 1901 and 1911 census, and married William (George) Hill (b 13^th January, 1895), a soldier in the foot guards from Melton Mowbray on the 21^st May, 1917. Marriage Ref: Southwark 1917 - 2nd Qtr (1d - 134) According to the "Susan Riches" tree, William was the son of James William Hill and Sarah Ann Buckle. They also had 4 other children, Margaret (b1880), Lucy (b1883), Jessie (b1885-1958) and James (b1889). William Hill enlisted in the Royal Horse Guards at Regents Park Barracks. William served with the BEF in France from 18 Nov - 29 Dec 1916. He was sent back to England suffering from trench foot on the 29th Dec 1916 and was hospitalised for 78 days. I have not followed up Emma life since her marriage, and it is not known for sure if they had any children, but it seens likely that they had 2 children (possibly 3): Marjorie Phylis, born on 22^nd March, 1920, and she possibly married John H. Kitchener in 1942 in Petersfield. I think they had just 2 children, Sheila, born in 1943 and Valerie, born in 1950.

William H. born in 1924 and he possibly married Harriet Chalk in Gosport in 1945. I cannot find any children.

In the census for 1939, William Hill is a City of London Police Inspector and Emma is a housewife and they lived in central London. I believe Emma Louise died in 1997 at the age of 102.

(b) Albert James (Bert) was born on the 29^th August, 1896, at Goodwood Road in Portsea, Birth Ref: Portsea 1896 - 4th Qtr (2b - 499) where his father is shown as Albert Edward is shown as a sewing machine agent instead of a soldier, and he married Florence Rose Linehan (b 29/10/1897) on the 8^th June, 1919. Marriage Ref: St. Olave 1919 - 2nd Qtr (1d - 376). Albert became a printer by profession and worked for the newspapers on Fleet Street. In the census for 1939, he is shown as a Newspaper Printing Operative and Florence is a housewife. It is believed that, during the Second World War, Lord Beaverbrook (proprietor of the Daily Express) used to send a car round to his house to pick him up for work. (Ref: Andy Pope Tree on Ancestry) Albert and Florence had 1 child:- Marjorie Rose Louise, born on the 22^nd March, 1924. On the 1939 census, Albert is noted as a printing machine operator and Florence is a housewife. Marjorie Rose is still at school.

Albert James Barrand died on 20^th October, 1967, aged 71 in Joyce Green Hospital, Dartford of Uroemia (kidney failure) and diabetis. Probate was granted to his daughter Marjorie Rose Louise Barrand and the estate was £6873.00. His occupation is described as a retired newspaper over-seer. Death Ref: Dartford 1967 - 4th Qtr (5f - 346), and Florence Rose (nee Linehan) died on the 11th December, 1989, aged 92 at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Sidcup of Pneumonmia and dementia. Death Ref: Bexley 1989 - Dec (11 - 516) Her Date of Birth is shown as 29^th October 1897, and present at the death was her daughter, Marjorie Rose Louise. Marjorie Rose died in May, 1998 aged 74 in Bexley, Kent, unmarried.

(c) Alice May was born on the 28^th July, 1898 at the family home of 50, Goodwood Road in Portsea. Birth Ref: Portsea 1898 - 3rd Qtr (2b - 522), but Albert is now shown as a carter. Alice married George Charles Betteridge (born 7th November, 1896), a soldier from Winchester Barracks on the 3^rd November, 1919. Marriage Ref: Winchester 1919 - 4th Qtr (2c - 392) On this certificate Alice’s address is given as Portland Street in Camberwell and her father is noted as Albert Barrand, but now a private in the army once again. Not much more is known about Alice and George Charles Betteridge, but it appears they had 2 children: George C, born in 1920 who possibly married in 1958 to Pauline Gasser, and Arthur William, born on 9^th September, 1922 who possibly married a Kim Lee.

In 1939, George Betteridge is employed as a caretaker and porter while Alice May stayed at home. Their son Arthur William was employed as an apprentice storekeeper, but George (jnr) is not shown as the entry is closed. Arthur died in Enfield in 2004. Alice May died in Enfield in 1992 at the age of 94 (But her birth date is shown as 17^th July, 1898). George Betteridge died in September, 1977 in North Surrey.

(d) Louise Ethel was born on the 4^th March, 1902 at 32, Halfpenny Road in Upton Park, West Ham, London where her father, Albert Edward is now shown as a brewers’ drayman. Birth Ref: West Ham 1902 - 2nd Qtr (4a - 256) and she married Alfred William Haydon, a motor driver on the 9^th October, 1926 in Lambeth, London. Marriage Ref: Lambeth 1926 - 4th Qtr (1d - 462). Alfred William Haydon was born on the 14^th December, 1897, the son of George William Haydon and Clara Marshall and he died on the 1^st May, 1979 aged 81 in Farnborough. The problem with this marriage certificate is that her father is shown as Albert “James” Barrand (deceased) and shown as a soldier. Albert “James” Barrand was in fact her brother, and her father was Albert Edward Barrand. One of the witnesses was William Hill, her sister’s husband. Louise and Alfred Haydon had 2 children (possibly 3); Alfred born in 1927 and Ronald James, born on the 6^th September, 1928 and died on the 7^th August, 1986 aged 57. In 1939, Alfred Haydon was employed as an AA Road Patrolman and Louise was a housewife. Louise Ethel died on the 25^th April, 1969 in Chertsey (Surrey) and Alfred Haydon died in 1979.

(e) Winifred Lena was born on the 31^st July, 1904 at Suffield Road in Newington London. Birth Ref: Southwark 1904 - 4^th Qtr (1d - 156), and baptised on the 14^th September, 1904 in Southwark. Her birth certificate shows that her father, Albert Edward Barrand was now a “carman”. Winifred Lena married David Dixon (b 27th April, 1896), a Lance Sergeant in the Scots Guards, in 1925 in Basingstoke. Marriage Ref: Hartley W. 1925 - 2nd Qtr (2c - 463) Once again, as with Louise Ethel, her father is named as Albert 'James' Barrand (deceased) instead of Albert Edward Barrand and his occupation is noted as soldier. I do not know for sure if David Dixon and Winifred Lena Barrand had any children, but I think they may have had two or possibly three sons. David was born in 1926 and Peter was born in 1929. David Dixon worked as a School-keeper in 1939 and they lived in Battersea.

(f) The twins were the last children. Alfred Charles and Edward John and they were born on the 29^th January, 1907 at 40, Hurlbutt Place, Newington, London. Birth Ref: Southwark 1907 - 1st Qtr (1d - 148) Albert Edward, their father is noted as being employed as a builders’ carman on the birth certificate. They both died in 1907, the first was Alfred Charles – Death Ref: Southwark 1907 - 2nd Qtr (1d - 216) who died on the 7^th April, 1907 at 2 months old of pneumonia in the Belgrave Hospital, Clapham, and then followed by the death of Edward John on the 19^th November, 1907 in Evelina Hospital also of pneumonia. Death Ref: Southwark 1907 - 4th Qtr (1d - 37) The family address was now 19, Barbel Street, Southwark.

10. Martha Florence was the 10th child of James Barrand and Emma Lash, and she was born on the 12^th October, 1874, and baptised on the same day as Albert Edward and Alice Louise, 27^th April, 1879. Birth Ref: Holborn 1874 - 4th Qtr (1b - 711) She shows on the 1881 census, but died on the 4^th December, 1883, aged 9 of curvature of the spine and dropsy at their home of 22, Margaret Street. Death Ref: Holborn 1883 - 4th Qtr (1b - 447) There is a problem with the death of Martha Florence though, in that she was buried on the 8^th December, 1883 in Islington Cemetery and the problem is that her body was removed from the grave on the 7^th April, 1885. I do not know why the body was removed, or where it was re-buried or when.
