  • The death of John Wainwright Crowe

    I found this notice:-

    Lloyds Weekly
    18 June 1882

    Deaths:
    June 9th, at 9 Eliot Place, Blackheath, John Wainwright Crowe, Esq., M.R.C.S.I., of Ennis, County Clare, Ireland.

    This man was a doctor (Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland) and I have found him in the 1881 census:

    106 High Street, Hartlepool
    Lodger:
    John W Crowe aged 31 born Ireland - Doctor
    What I take to be his mother and older sister are also listed at the same address:
    Frances E Crowe aged 76 born Nevis, West Indies
    Ellen Crowe aged 45 born Ireland

    The link to George Valentine at Eliot Place lies, I think, lies in the birthplace of Frances Crowe.
    In the 1881 listing for Valentine's school, his mother is listed as follows:
    Louisa Valentine aged 66 born Nevis, West Indies
    I would surmise that Frances Crowe and Louisa Valentine were sisters, but how John Crowe came to die at the school is not clear.

    Hi Chris

    There seems to have been a Wainwright Crowe who was a JP in Ireland and had at least one son who became a barrister. If JWC was another of his sons, then it would make the family partly surgical and partly legal - a lot like Monty's.

      Chris, it looks like his mum was Frances Elizabeth Stather and his dad Capt John Crowe.



      One of the Valentines sent me a link to one of their family tree sites. I must try to see where it is. I know it wasn't Kimberley.
