I continue to add family trees.
Here are more family trees for the owners and occupants of Claremont House and 113 – 117 Church Road in the period 1850 – 1900.
Interesting points
Amongst them are some interesting discoveries.
- Sabrina Poole Bernard (1799 – 1829) owned slaves.
- The likely father of Henry Grahame Montagu (1829 – 1916), also called Henry Graham Montagu (1801 – 1872) was convicted of false pretenses and sentenced to be transported for 7 years. Henry Grahame Montagu (1829 – 1916) had 22 children.
