What was the last name? Surely not Blackhearh?

Rambling Report 6 Aug 2015 17:24

I think that might be a mistype for Blackheath? which would make that Greenwich marriage likely.

And on that marriage her name is definitely Bradford and that's how she signed it.

Oh! I never thought of Blackheath as being the place, I was assuming her surname. That would make sense then as being the Greenwich marriage.

Rambling Report 6 Aug 2015 19:20

Hopefully June will come back soon and let us know, Margee the word Blackheath sprang out at me because my friend has just moved there :-)

MargaretM

MargaretM Report 6 Aug 2015 19:24

Rose, my excuse is that I'm Canadian and had never heard of the place.

Dea

Dea Report 6 Aug 2015 19:32

Well, It screamed 'Blackheath' to me too but I am afraid that I was also looking at it as a surname not a place :-S

Rambling Report 6 Aug 2015 19:32

I don't think many people have Margee, even here, I'm having to remember that although my friend has moved basically just round the corner, her postal address is now Blackheath rather than Greenwich. :-)
