I'd love to know more about Mary, his wife. When and where did they marry?
I can't find them marrying in London. If all else fails I'll have to get Alice's birth certificate.

[ElizabethHerts]

Alice didn't marry and she died aged 28 at 40 Lambourn-road, Clapham, Surrey.

Her executor was her cousin Frank Newton.

How sad!

Not a huge lot of help, but this may be Mary's death:

Deaths Mar 1867 (>99%)
Newton Mary 42 Pancras 1b 119

[ElizabethHerts]

Phoenix, I'm glad you found that death as that was the one I had pencilled in for her.
I haven't found a burial for her, unfortunately.

[Phoenix]

But if that is the right woman, she may not be living over the pub.

[ElizabethHerts]

That's interesting, Phoenix. I did see that but I need to look at in more detail.
