ELIZABETH WATSON 07,55-63 (?. ?.1802)

Born 1801
Died 1895

Her will

Elizabeth, the daughter of William Watson, was probably born in 1802. She married Valentine Knight on 13 December 1823, and died on 10 March 1895. This information was in an old diary found by Henry St.John Knight1 at No.2. Vanbrugh Terrace, Blackheath, London, when Letitia Knight2 died in 1920. Henry wrote to his sister Kate3 giving this information. Part of the letter is in the possession of John Fall4.

In 1989, Brenda Rohl5 obtained a copy of Elizabeth's will, dated 1882. She left her house for her son William to occupy for three years after her death with the option to purchase it for £4,725 stg. Otherwise the house was to be sold and the proceeds then became part of her estate, which was divided equally amongst her children. In 1882, a house of this value, must have been substantial. In her Will, she also refers to marble busts of herself and her late husband by E.H. Bailey.

0 12 031A M LOWDELL GEORGE 39,51,75-83 (17??)

1 International Genealogical Index of marriages.(IGI)

2 The IGI records them as Christened at Southam.

George Lowdell became a surgeon, as stated on the marriage certificate of his son Thorold. On 27 August 1811 he married Jessamine Lowdell at Southam1. He and Jessamine had eleven children2 : George, Isaac, Joseph, Sarah, Thorold, Emily, Louisa, Charles, Frederick & William (twins), and Sydney. George died on 7 March 1853. The entry in the Index of Wills states:

Lowdell George - The Will of George Lowdell of Baldwyns Hill in the parish of Lingfield in the County of Surrey Gentleman deceased who died 7 March 1853 at Brighton in the County of Sussex was proved by Principal registry by the Oaths of George Lowdell of Cannon Place Brighton aforesaid Surgeon and Thorold Lowdell of Lingfield aforesaid the sons and Emily Lowdell of Lingfield aforesaid Spinster the Daughter three of the Executors therein substituted.

0 12 031A F ? JESSAMINE 39,51,75-83 (1791?)
1 See 1851 census detail given under her son, Thorold Lowdell (13051M).

Jessamine may have been born in 1791. She married George Lowdell and died on 3 July 1862 at East Grinstead. The Census records for 1841 state:

1841, HO 107, 1077, 60 - Baldwin's Hill, Lingfield

Jane Lowdell Head Wid 50

Louisa Dau Unm 15

Harriet Goldsmith Serv Unm 23

Mary Goldsmith Serv Unm 19

George Lowdell was still alive at this time. If "Jane" was the name by which Jessamine was known, there is an inconsistency in describing her a "Widow". Her daughter Louisa would have been 19 at the time, not 15 as stated in the above record. We do not have a record of another "Jane."1

After her death, the following was recorded:

Lowdell Jessamine - Letter of Admin of the personal estate and effects of Jessamine Lowdell late of Baldwyns Hill in the Parish of Lingfield in the County of Surrey Widow who died 3 July 1862 at Baldwyns Hill proved at the Principal Registry by George Lowdell of Brighton in the County of Sussex Surgeon and one of the children of the said deceased he having been first sworn.

Personal Effects less than £3,000.
