Mike Covell’s Blogg

I had a busy day yesterday, despite the new medication which is giving me awful wind, I tracked down the following snippets of information,

• Several Australian Trade Directory Entries for Frederick Bailey Deeming showing both addresses and business interests.

• Frederick Bailey Deeming and Marie James wedding entry in the Wedding Indexes.

• Frederick Bailey Deeming and Marie James Marriage.

• Criminal Registration papers on an early case concerning Frederick Bailey Deeming from his teenage years.

• The Deeming family in the 1891 Census.

• Deeming’s Brothers family in the 1891 Census.

• Deeming’s daughter, Bertha, in the Australian Birth Indexes.

• Deeming’s Daughter, Marie, in the Australian Birth Indexes.

• Bertha’s Birth Certificate.

• Marie’s Birth Certificate.

• Deeming, as Harry Lawson, on the UK Incoming Passenger lists for 1890 showing his extradition from Monte Video.

• Detective Thomas Grassby of the Hull Police on the UK Incoming Passenger lists for 1890 showing him accompanying Deeming from Monte Video.

• I also tracked down the Census entries for a family that has some connection to the Deeming case.

Other information found and greatfully received yesterday and today include,

• Frederick Richard Chapman in the Census.

• Frederick Richard Chapman in the British Medical Registers.

• Frederick Richard Chapman in the Hull Press.

• Frederick Richard Chapman in the Hull Trade Directories.

The largest and most exciting find, however, is the Victorian Library Reader Ticket of Robert D’Onston Stephenson, under the alias, Roslyn D’Onston Stephenson.
