The Church of Latter Day Saints site notes Charles and Martha's marriage to have taken place at St. Peter's Church, Church Street, Liverpool on 5th March 1840. She was born in 1822. finding this I did some more searching on a Liverpool Family History site and found something that absolutely ties them together, even without the marriage certificate. I found the 1832 Poll Book for Liverpool - this followed the reform act that allowed 'town dwellers' amongst other people to have the vote - however this still only applied to those that owned property or were tradesmen, and I found one 'Robert Langshaw, Victualler, Strand Street, Liverpool' - this is the same address that Charles and Martha were found at on the 1881 census - I think we can definitely assume that this was her father! and this was the pub they took over after retiring from the sea. They had moved to Toxteth Park by 1899 and they both died in 1894 - Martha during the March quarter, and Charles in the June quarter. (Email from Ann Jones)

1901 census has Pauline listed as Ethel C P ALLEN. Presumeably the P was for Pauline. She is listed as being 7 yrs old. Although notes from the source (Family Notes; General Information; which were documented by Ethel/ Pauline's daughter), suggest that she was born in 1890, and her name was Pauline (no mention of Ethel). A letter written in 1978 in these notes also mention her age as 88 so we can be confident that 1890 is her correct birth year. These source notes also mention that Aaron and Elizabeth had a total of 12 children, which adds weight to the idea that Ethel and Pauline are one and the same person.

Below Ethel/Pauline's name on the census the name of Rene is squeezed in (apparently missed out initially) on the line below. It appears she is also aged 7, which suggests that the person documenting the original census return perhaps initially confused Ethel and Rene as the same person and listed Ethel's name with Rene's age, but then never corrected Ethel's age when adding Rene's details to the list.

Kennel Farm is listed as Gracie's home noted by hand in the front of her twin books of "Book of Common Prayer" and "Hymns Ancient and Modern"(noted at the front that these were given to "Aunty Gracie" by May and Dorise). Also noted is the name of the nearby church "All Saints, Long Ashton". A 19th century map (see attached) shows the location of Kennel Farm. It is just south of the site of St Johns Church which was apparently the church that served the village of Bower Ashton prior to its abandonment in the 13th Century (possibly due to Black Death)? Also attached the modern location in Google Earth - the farmhouse seems long since gone.

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en-GB&geocode=&q=long+ashton&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=13.179201,39.418945&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Long+Ashton,+Bristol,+Avon,+United+Kingdom&ll=51.438213,-2.635421&spn=0.003391,0.009624&t=h&z=17

A New Testament Bible was awarded to Gracie Best for "Scripture Knowledge; Ashton Gate Girl's School; December 1916". On the front of the bible is the text:
"PRIZE 1916 To the pupils in the Bristol Council Schools who excelled in Biblical knowledge given by the religious tract society and by the late Mary Proctor in memory of her husband"
This bible has within it the front page of another "Holy Bible" which has Gracie's name in handwriting in the front page, and also has written in it "I had this bible when I was 8 years old" and below this "Sunday evening, April 27th 1890 at 10.28"

As far as the Bown family we knew that Mary Bown (1791) had a daughter,Mary Ann Bown (1815), who who in turn was Sarah Ann Stanton (1844)'s and William John Stanton's (1857)'s mother, I hadn't looked further along the 'Bown line' so never found her father, although I have since found his name was John. One might conjecture that he would have been born around 1791 too. Brian says he couldn't find him on the 1841 census, and I find he doesn't appear on the 1851 census either. I don't know whether he too was a sailor, which around Fleet in those days often meant a local fisherman, but it appears that local crew-men were frequently ar sea when the Census-man called and thus never featured on census lists. (1841 was the very first official General Census anyway after the introduction of BDM registration in 1837, so it was something new, and possibly something bound to arouse many people's suspicions - like Identity Cards do in these days!).

A letter from Roger Heath notes that Hannah died c1876 when Mary was only 6 yrs old.

01/01 Mervyn
Hannah, whose Christian name the family cousins had thought was 'Margaret' - come to think of it, she was a singer (from Wales) so 'Margaret' might well have been her 'stage name'. Her real name was Hannah Brumwell; she was Nan's mother's mother, married to John George Beaton (cabinet-maker, piano-maker and himself a gifted musician), and on 24 June 1870 ('our Grandma', 'Mary's', birth-date) they were living at 3 Market Street, Bloomsbury, Middlesex (now Camden, London, I believe). I now have a copy of Mary Beaton's birth certificate, so at last this information is now official.
