Lost Crew(s)

[samesizedfeet]

Okay - I'm blaming merry for this because her question earlier has made me go back and look at my Boulcott/Crew/Dalton families who don't have any apparent connection but use each others surnames as middle names etc


Joseph Boulcott William Crew born abt 1837 in Ratcliff, Middlesex

marries Ellen Eve Freeman born abt 1840 in Rainham Essex

children (from 1871)
(names in brackets are what I have on my private tree but no idea how I got them)

William R Crew abt 1863, West Ham, Essex (William Robert)
Ellen J Crew abt 1864 West Ham (Ellen Josephine)
Alice D Crew abt 1865 West Ham
Mabel J abt 1866 West Ham (Mabel Janet)
Randolph crew abt 1870 Eltham Kent


Additionally I have Randolph dies in 1877 and another child called Mildred Eva Crew abt 1878 in Eltham - but I can't find the same info again so not sure how I came by it originally


I can't find any of them after 1871 at all. Can anyone work miracles as I'm going round in circles

I just found Joseph, Ellen and Mildred in 1881 as Crewe - but not sure what they've done with the rest of their children

William Robert Crew birth registered Sep 1863 West Ham. Possible death William R Crewe Mar 1937 Willesden, Middlesex, age 73.

Got them in 1891 as well now (going on the basis that they think their name is spelt Crewe)

There's a Randolph Crewe death in Hackney aged 6 in 1877. I think you might have got the middle names from the birth registrations

[samesizedfeet]

ach, beaten already

[samesizedfeet]

and Joseph, Alice and Mildred are in 1901

Completely OT, but I thought you were talking about a crew lost at sea! I thought we would be looking for sailors in distress and was envisaging trawling through newspapers to look for reports of shipping disaster!:o

I should have noted the use of capitals!

Just found this thread by accident. By now, you probably have a lot more info, but here is mine if it is helpful. Ellen Josephine Crewe was my grandmother.She married Charles Grenfell Hill. Mabel Janet Crewe was employed as a nurse/companion by Lord Louis Mountbatten to look after his children. She took care of Prince Philip during his school holidays when he visited the Mountbattens, as it was too far for him to go home to Greece during the school year. When she retired, she moved in with my grandmother as my grandfather had passed away, and my aunt Carol Hill also lived there. I did too, because my mother, Elizabeth Ridding Oldfield, Christopher Hill's wife, died when I was born. I was there until I was 7, when my father and stepmother insisted I should live with them. Alice Dora Crewe - just Dora - lived across the street from us. There was another sister called Queenie, but I don't know which one she was. She also moved in much later on.
Arthur Cole Hill was always referred to as "poor Arthur Cole", but at that age I didn't pay much attention! I know he moved to Canada and married a native woman. I don't have all the dates, but could probably find some.

Welcome Nicoh ... Zoe where are you??? ..... Zoe, you lucky lady, you have found a living relie who wants to share ... something we all dream about !!

[samesizedfeet]

I'm here. My laptop is refusing to play so I'm on my phone. Which also means I don't have my family tree to look at.

Hello Nicoh. Welcome to the site. As soon as the laptops is working I'll update you on what I have. It's a very tentative connection via marriage but the Crews gave always fascinated me. I have some great paperwork about a inheritance dispute over a Butchers shop in East London. Off the top of my head between a William and Jane Crew. Jane is my connection as she married in to part of my East London family.

Thanks to all for the welcomes! A great site!
I'm afraid I don't know anymore about the Boulcott side, Zoe, or the other Crewes.
My grandmother's parents and family are just mentioned as such, and she married into the Hill family. My father did extensive work on that tree, and I have it going back to about 1400. Probably not much interest to you. I have been looking into the connection to Captain Boycott, but can't find much about his extended family. I always heard that
we were related somehow. Wonder if you have anything on this?
