Thread: Widow's maiden name

I have a copy of a marriage record between James Forbes (Bachelor) and Jane Latcho (widow) in 1821 St. Nicholas' Deptford, Kent. This same info is on the IGI but name spelt Satche.



Has anybody any ideas as to how to trace the maiden name of Jane Latcho?



Any ideas, help would be much appreciated.

Hi Teresa

Just by googling, it seems the name LATCHO could be Roma?

What else do you know about Jane - her age? children? etc etc Do you know if she brought any children with her to the FORBES marriage?



Also - there are only 4 LATCHO entries on the IGI for Bristish Isles - but there are considerably more for LOTCHO. Seems to be in Middlesex area. The Census also has a number of LOTCHO thru the decades - all likely interrelated.



IGI for example, has a Charles LOTCHO marrying a Jane GATER in 5 Nov 1815 in St Leonards, Shoreditch..........



Pallots Marriage Index has the above marriage (Jane GATER spinster and Chas LOTCHO bachelor in Shoreditch 1815)

Hi Annieb



Thanks for your reply and time spent looking.



I have James and Jane on the 1851 census she was born abt 1790 St. Paul's, Middlesex (there is something else written after St. Paul's but I cannot make it out). She does not seem to have had any children with the first husband, although she is ten years older than James!



The children of James and Jane are:

Alexander b. 1821, James 1823, Frances 1824, Elizabeth 1825, John 1827 and Emma 1831.



I am assuming Latcho is her previous married name, so looking for her maiden name to find her parents and siblings.



I have also seen the Roma connection and will look up Lotcho on the IGI.



Many thanks.

Hi Teresa



In 1851, the area they are in is : 1 Angel Place, St Pauls, Parish of Shadwell - ie: St Pauls Shadwell

http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/genuki/M...uls/index.html

Shadwell, is also the word written after her place of birth (the "Sh" is written similarly elsewhere on the page).

She is 61, he is 51 - both employed. No children at home.

He is born Greenwich Kent.



I don't know if you have the 1841, but just in case this is it:



1841: Angel Place, St Paul Shadwell

HO107/Piece 703/ Book: 9/ Folio 13 / pG21

James FORBES 40, L---? - N (his occupation may just be L for Labourer?)

Jane FORBES 53, ------- ------, Y (can't read her occupation)

Francis Ann FORBES 17, N

Emma FORBES 10 - Y

Rose WOODWARD 1 - Y



Do you know where children Elizabeth and John are in 1841?



I also see son Alexander G(eorge) FORBES in the 1851, with his wife Hannah and their children. Again, not sure - if you have this?

Hi Teresa



On balance, I think there is a very good chance Jane's maiden name was GATER.



IGI: Jane GATER christened 21 Jun 1789, Saint Botolph Without Aldersgate, London - Parents: George GATER and Jane Frances



St Botolph without Aldgate is only abt a mile away from St Pauls - and all still in the Tower Hamlets borough.

http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/genuki/M...ithoutAldgate/



There is a strong "thread" of similar names, and a sense naming traditions - running through these GATER's and your FORBES.



If that is your Jane, the following appear to be siblings from the IGI:

George - chr 1791 St Luke Old Street, Finsbury

John - chr 1804 Tabernacle Ind St Luke, Finsbury

Timothy - chr 1807 Tabernacle Ind St Luke, Finsbury

Hi Annieb



Thank you so so much for finding them on the 1841 census, I don't know how you found them but just very grateful that you did.



I have found John on the 51,61,71,81, he died 1890, but haven't found him on the 1841!



Have been unable to find Elizabeth on any census.



Have Alexander on the 41 & 51, he died before the 61.



Thank you for your help once again.

Hi Annieb



Have just spotted your other post.



Yes I think there is a good likelihood she is a Gater , the names do follow on through the family. Thank you for the link.



Many thanks
