Brilliant - Reginald Kemp is Louisa's brother and I will look for a Kate Maitland - thanks :-D

Julia Alicia Griesbach?

One of the witnesses looks like Julia Alicia G***sback , another William?? R Kemp and Kate ****** Maitland

Its difficult to know for sure isn't it but it would fit in with Louisa being back with her parents in 1861 as she was only 19 at the time of her marriage so very young. I just cant find the Maitland connection if his father was Howell.

I think it says Esquire as well.

This death is the only Maitland in the time scale there are several for John Howell

Deaths Jun 1860 (>99%)
MAITLAND Alfred John Islington 1b 149

Thanks for that - can you make out the witnesses?

FOREIGN MAIL PACKET LIST .
The Morning Post (London, England), Wednesday, May 02, 1860; pg. 8; Issue 26949.

MAITLAND - KEMP. On the 28th ult, at St Saviors Church, Clifton Gardens, by the Rev T Hopkins, M A incumbent, assisted by the Rev W P Wright, M A, chaplain to the forces and chaplain to H.R.H, the Duke of Cambridge, Capt. Alfred Howell Maitland, to Louise Adelaide Horneman, eldest daughter of Thomas Reginald Kemp, of Calton Villas, Maidavale, Esq.

It just looks like Esq. for all of them.

Found their marriage in the 19th century newspapers. I will type it out as I can't copy & paste it.

Hi,

I am looking for the elusive Alfred Howell Maitland and wonder if anyone can find him other than on his marriage record.

Alfred Howell Maitland married Louisa Adelaide Horneman Kemp (my side of the family ) on 28th April 1860, Westminster - as found in the London Marriages and Banns Records.

Alfred's father is recorded as John Howell. His occupation is the same as Alfred and Louisa's father Thomas Reginald but I cant make out what it says - I thought it was Gent but I dont think it is. It could be something to do with the legal service as Louisa's family were all in that line.

The witnesses are not clear but one looks like a Kate Maitland - if anyone could have a look and see what they think I would be very grateful.

In 1861 Louisa is back with her parents Thomas and Esther, married but using her maiden name Kemp and no sign of Alfred.

In 1871 Louisa married Robert Hopke Reed and is recorded as a widow and signs her name Louisa Adelaide Horneman Maitland

I can not find any records of any type for Alfred Howell Maitland apart from the marriage to Louisa. I have looked for a marriage for his parents using a combination of names with Howell and Maitland and second marriage maybe for his mother to a Maitland. I found a John and Lydia Howell in 1851 and Lydia a widow in 1861 with son Alfred who would be the right age for A H M.

I don't know where John got the surname Maitland from - any ideas?

I would appreciate any help in trying to find Alfred - he just doesn't exist before or after his marriage. There is no birth record for him and no death. HELP!!

Any info would be fantastic - he must be there somewhere

Kind regards

Rosie
