I'd seen the marriage to Anthony J Paskell that David mentioned and I think it must be the right Stephanie as the marriage is registered twice - under both Harris and Bryant

Made me cry, too - the thought of his last word being "Mum"
-
What addresses did they give on the 1901 marriage cert? Perhaps they were at the same address in the 1901 census
-
Looking at births, there was a Robert Catchpole born 1951 with a brother Peter, born early 1956, so Peter would have been in the year above me, which probably fits. Also a Carol, born 1948

I remember a Peter Catchpole although I think he was a bit older than me. Did he have blond hair?

Really enjoyed watching that - thanks for posting

You're right, David, unless John C was the son of a sister of Betsy, or. as was often the case they used inaccurate wording for distant relatives!
That's interesting about Max and the garage, Evie. I looked Max up the other day - didn't keep the details but he died quite recently (2010?)

I think this is John C Rumph on 1901 census , which seems to suggest that you are right about his mother being Betsy

Daisy's mothers maiden name was Barrett. An Ethel M Barratt married a John C Rumph in 1915. There may have been other children although birth certs would be required to be sure. Births of children with surname Rumph mothers maiden name Barratt are
Daisy J, born 1916, Marie, b 1917, Mary, b 1919, Iris, b 1921, Max B, born 1924.
There's a record for a John Charles RUMPH who was in the RAF in the WW1 period at the National Archives - might be him.

Was your Mum baptised? If so and you know which church and roughly when, it's perhaps worth looking at the record at the Archives, if they hold it, to see if the father is mentioned although it's quite unlikely.

Can't remember whether we've had this one - it's just come into my head. Kailied for drunk

There's this, in the British Library newspapers - his death looks to be on the 8th but best to look at the whole article to be sure. I haven't got a sub but I think perhaps David on here has - he's quoted from it a number of times

I don't remember any of the teachers you mention, Bilbraborn, but remember Mr Beadsworth, so he must have been around for a few years. The Music teacher where I was there was Colin Jones.

That was lucky, that they couldn't find the cert! Yes, unlikely that she was still alive in 1969!
Remember also, when looking for a death, that the age may well be a few years out. The person who gave her age might not have known exactly how old she was.
-
We thought that cert would be the wrong one, didn't we?
The trouble is that she had a very common name. The GRO index, whether on FreeBMD or elsewhere won't allow you to establish whether you have the right person, without buying the cert as no identifying information such as age or fathers name is given. If you know her date of birth and she may have died 1969 onwards (can't remember when she was born, to know whether this is possible or not), you could search the death indexes on Ancestry for a Mary whose date of birth matches - you don't have to specify a surname. If anything is found in the right area with a different surname you could then search marriages for any possibility.
To check for a marriage at the Archives you would need to know which church she married in, so it's difficult.

I know Haydn Bosworth's older brother...

She does sound quite a character, doesn't she?! Nice to hear memories of her

Alan's memories of Connie!
My memories of Connie Alvey go back to when I started at EY in 1949. She was Manageress of the Canteen and had about three other women working under her. The Works Canteen in those days was in what later became an engineering workshop at the side of the covered yard, opposite where the directors cars were parked. When I returned from RAF service in 1955, a new canteen had been built on the site of the old tennis courts to the left of the building as you look from Castle Boulevard. The directors and senior management still had their own room where they were served by canteen staff, i.e Miss Alvey if memory serves correctly. In appearance she was quite austere and bore a strong resemblance to the actress and friend of Noel Coward, Joyce Carey (Google search for info). The new kitchen in the canteen was open so we could see food being prepared and dished up to customers and my abiding memory is of Connie walking around the kitchen supervising the staff with a cigarette hanging from her mouth. THIS WAS WHERE FOOD WAS BEING PREPARED! At that time this activity was perfectly acceptable as just about everybody smoked One of her assistants, Hilda Pashley, whose mother also worked in the canteen, smoked while dishing out the chips! Happy days!

Sorry, Alan doesn't remember Barbara or Gladys but it is a long time ago!
He says this about the Middle Floor
The ‘Middle Floor’ was actually the nerve centre (as your dad would have said) of the whole operation. It was where the bulk of the rubber covering machines were sited. There were others at the Canal end of the ground floor (managed by Fred Maddison) but the bulk were on the MF also towards the Canal end. I seem to remember that Roy Meakin was the head honcho, with your dad being one of several foremen. About two thirds of the way along the middle floor towards the Castle Boulevard end there was a screen beyond which were the wire covering machines of Fine Wires Ltd. The noise of these machines was horrendous and would not be tolerated in today’s health and safety climate. I do believe that the machine operators were given ear plugs.

I don't remember any trips, apart from Geography Field Trips, although I didn't go on any.
Once, in DS, we had to invite a teacher to eat our specially prepared meal. My friend and I invited "Fruit" as he was known and he was very polite about it even though I'd missed out a vital ingredient! A great teacher - I had him for "O" Level Chemistry.
I did "A" Level History so I remember Mr Downing well - liked him, too, and didn't find him boring.

Mr Robinson's book is online here

I know he does, Lizzie. He wanted to post on here about her, but was having problems. I'll ask him to email me his comments and put them on here.

I think his birth registration gave mothers maiden name as Harrison, from memory, haven't rechecked.
Haven't found anything for Stephanie apart from her marriage
