Whitby Wharf, Samuel James Whitby

I found a listing for a Whitby Wharf which is close to Red Lion Wharf. I wonder it it's just a co-incidence?

"South out of Upper Thames Street at No.79, east of Three Crane Stairs (Lockie, 1810 and 1816).

Not named in the maps."


In response to a query as to what some notation meant, I now know that 12 means that Samuel James Whitby lived on Mount Street, Diss, Norfolk.

I called Barbara Ann Saunders (nee Whitby) to ask about Arthur Samuel Collins Whitby as i'm still trying to work out whether he may still be alive. Apparently he used to run a hotel in Richmond (possibly Kew) on the river Thames.

Mary Whitby

I got a very detailed reply from Peter Reed of Ewell History who, in addition to other interesting stuff, sent me the details of what is written on Mary Whitby's grave.

The Beloved Wife

aged 37

Thomas John Whtby
Son of the above

I also got a reply from Kerry Whitby who asked if I was related to Louise. Odd. How could she know? Presumably she's thinking of a different Louise. I look forward to finding out.

Graveyards

I was reading the Whitby family book of old wills and in the front page if mentions a Mary Whitby who died in 1820. The only Mary Whitby currently in tree is Mary Whitby (nee Toombs) but it can't be her as she died after 1883. It says that Mary Whitby (d.aft.1820) was buried in Ewell Churchyard, Surrey. I called them up and they've kindly said they'll post some details.
