1872 Cranleigh, Surrey (baptism of William) 1881 Maybrook Cottage, Ewhurst, Surrey 1891 Gravelt, Rudgwick, Sussex 1901 Not found 1911 16 Cornwallis Terrace Hastings, Sussex. 1961 32 Claremont Road, Sidley, Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex (address given at probate) 1881 9 East Street, Hastings, Sussex. Head Samuel FLAY aged 21 a Railway Stoker born St Mary Dorset and his wife Harriet aged 30 born Brede Sussex. Then Cecil HARROD, down as son in law aged 7 a Scholar born Westfield, Sussex and then Lucretia down as daughter in law. There were three lodgers with the family a Charles COLEMAN aged 29 a Labourer born Brede, Sussex, a George COLEMAN aged 25 a Railway Stoker born Brede, Sussex and a William AKEHURST aged 24 a Labourer born Redhill, Surrey. (COLEMAN appears to have been Harriet's maiden name so the two COLEMAN lodgers with her were possibly her brothers, next door at number 10 I would think was also a brother as he was Amos COLEMAN aged 37 a Railway driver born Brede, Sussex, with his wife Mary aged 38 born Bognor, Sussex and children, Charles aged 14 a Scholar born Bognor, Sussex, Jessie 12, a Scholar born Bognor, Sussex, George aged 7 a Scholar born St Leonards, Sussex, Albert aged 5 a Scholar born St Leonards, Sussex, John aged 3 a Scholar born Hastings, Sussex and Mary I aged 2 months born Hastings, Sussex. 1891 54 Kilton Street, Battersea, London. Head is a Samuel FLAY aged 32 a Railway Engine Driver born Ottery St Mary, Devon and his wife Harriet FLAY aged 38 born Brede, Sussex, Then children Cecil HARROD Stepson aged 17 a Railway Engine Cleaner born Westfield, Sussex, then Lucretia followed by Percy FLAY aged 8 a Scholar born St Leonards, Sussex, Ethel FLAY aged 5 born St Leonards, Sussex and Gertrude FLAY aged 1 born Battersea, London. With the family was Charles COLEMAN Brother in Law aged 36 a Railway Engine Coalman born Brede, Sussex 1901 Not found 1911 16 Cornwallis Terrace Hastings, Sussex. Lucretia is down as having been married 13 years and having had no children. 1957 32 Claremont Road, Sidley, Bexhild on Sea, Sussex (address given at probate) 1911 16 Cornwallis Terrace Hastings, Sussex. Information for Robert Joshua O WALMSLEY 1911 9 Manns Street Hastings Sussex. Robert is down as Grandson with Joshua STONE aged 38 a Police Constable born Mountfield, Sussex and his wife Hannah aged 58 down as having been married 34 years and having had 2 children both survive at the date of this Census, she was born Helingly, Sussex. Then Heloise Beatrice WALMSLEY daughter aged 26 down as having been married 8 years and having had 3 children all survive at the date of this census, she is down as a Mothers help born Hastings, Sussex. Then Robert, followed by Theodore WALMSLEY, Grandson born Hastings, Sussex and Edith Maud Madeline WALMSLEY aged 4 born Hastings, Sussex. There was a Lodger a Fred HAMMONDS aged 25 a Police Constable born Parish of Wish? Well?, Kent Note Why did William LAKER and his wife Lucretia HARROD both on probate name Gertrude Kate PLUMMER. I looked for Frank Norman PLUMMER and he married Gertrude K LUDLOW in December quarter 1933 in Lewisham district, London. And I have solved it. On the 1891 Census for Lucretia HARROD there is a step sister, Gertrude FLAY aged 1 born Battersea, London. Shewas born Gertrude Kate FLAY and she married June quarter 1906 Croydon district, Surrey a Ernest George LUDLOW. Ernest George must have died and she married again a Frank Norman PLUMMER so their will relates to Lucretia's step sister.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
