Find Ancestors

Hi

I am hoping all those with more experience than i can help me in returning this book to Emily's living relatives.

My daughter picked up a Holy bible at a car boot sale, inside the front cover of the book it says, presented by the trustees of Addy's school to Emily Dossiter/Dossetter as a reward for good conduct and regular attendance of school, dated December 19th 1889. Head Master William Ping. I would love to return this book to any living relatives with your help

might be better to put this on "Find living relatives" any idea of the location by the way?

Ann

no idea sorry

Dossiter's in Kent and Essex I see on the census

Emily Dossiter

birth 1876 —Deptford, Kent, England
residence 1881 —St Paul Deptford, Kent, England
census 1881 —St Paul Deptford, Kent, England

Emily Dossiter

birth 1880 —Walthamstow, Essex, England
residence 1881 —Walthamstow, Essex, England

Well that's a start for now just don't know which one

This looks like a 'good bet' for William Ping so the school may well be in this area?

well were on the right track for sure.

can't find a trace of Addy's school on google

I can't either, i do hope some one comes forward to claim it, it would be such a shame it's a beautiful book.

Thanks to Ann of Green Gables and Dea for your replies, i think i will put a message on the Ancestry board and see if i have any luck there.
