Lost great grandmother

[Squeeze]

In my research I have hit a brick wall with regards to my great grandmother. Can anyone help?

Alice Mary Wyatt
Born: Dec 1882 St. Giles London
Married Edmund Payne Q1 1901

My father (now deceased ) does not remember her and he was born in 1936. Has been a mystery for ages and would love to complete this part of my tree.

Many thanks in advance

What exactly do you know? You obviously have her birth, so I would assume you know who her parents were.

Is it information on her later life you are looking for?

Hi. Yes it is her later life. Her husband Edmund Payne died in 1914 so she was still young. I do know she was on the stage in small minor productions with her daughter Mary (my grandmother ).

So this is the family on the 1911 Census?

Nothing opens on the link. 1911 census has the family living at Clissold Park and it has Edmund, Alice, five children and three servants. Hopefully you can see the same.

It is the same record, Squeeze.

There are lots of newspaper articles about Edmund Payne's death. It is evident from the 1911 Census and these that Alice was his second wife.

Find a Grave website says that Edmund Payne was buried at Abney Park Cemetery, Stoke Newington, plot J08. Have you already looked into whether Alice was buried with him, Squeeze?

That's right. His first wife was Emily Saxon who died in 1899. Alice was young when she met and married Edmund. She was an extremely wealthy lady when he died as he left her quite a lot in his will.

Aaah, so he is great-great-grandfather of Gareth Malone? I thought the name was familiar!
