Hello - I'm not sure whether I'm replying to Judith or Graham, anyway I was interested in both your messages. I am related to Henry Chisnall Soar and at the moment trying to find the origin of the name Chisnall. (it doesn't appear to be his mother's name)
Hoping we can share each others trees.

Jenny Cockayne (nee Soar)

Hello Judith, I have just seen your message about Mary Ann Louisa SOAR, nee Brennan posted in 2003 and wondered if you were still looking.
For some time now I have been compiling details of the SOAR/SOREs and have some details about her which may (still) be of interest to you.

Mary Ann Louisa Brennan was born in Rotherhithe around 1865. She married William Walter Soar in 1883, marriage ref O/D 1883 Wandsworth 1d 953. Her death at age 56 was recorded A/J 1921 West Ham 4a 223.

The 1891 census shows them living in Cranham Road, Upminster when she was aged 26. The 1901 census shows them at 37 Kingswood Road, Clapham aged 36.

William Walter Soar was born in Ipswich in 1859, reference A/J 4a 394 and died in Colchester J/M 1943 ref 4a 1090. He was the son of Henry Chisnall Soar, also a tailor and Lucy Beard Colman.

I have more details of his forebears but only on the Soar/Sore side. If you can add to these details I would be grateful.

I hope this helps.

regards,

Grahame Soar
