Susannah Edmonds (1789-1823)

Page history last edited by Warren 14 years, 4 months ago

Daughter of John Edmonds and Jane Edmonds.

 

Susannah was baptised on 20th June 1788 at St Mary, Putney, Surrey[1].

 

Susannah Edmonds married Augustus Thomas Wilkinson Tomkins on 26th September 1807 at St Pauls Covent Garden, Middlesex. The witnesses to the marriage were Geo Tomkins and Thomas Hewlett[2].

 

1814-1815: Hart Street

There are references to the family living in Hart Street in the Parish Registers from 1814-1815, although the family may have lived in this street before and after these dates.

 

Hart Street was often mentioned in the vestry minutes for its nuisances, as in 1819 with complaints about the number of disorderly houses. In 1829 a committee considered 2 of the 4 dungpits in the street to be offensive because neighbours frequently threw filth and dead animals into them (resulting in a recommendation that one be removed).

 

1817-1821: Rose Street

There are references to the family living in Rose Street in the Parish Registers from 1817-1821, although the family may have lived in this street before and after these dates.

 

Rose Street was referred to in the vestry minutes of the early 19th century regarding its brothels and degraded state, which was still apparent in 1853 as cholera spread rapidly through its densely populated buildings (including many cellar dwellers) all of which was made much worse by the fact that the street was without a water supply for 48 hours from Saturday to Monday.

 

1823-1841: Hemlock Court

There are references to the family living at 18 Hemlock Court in the Parish Registers in 1823-24 and in the 1841 census although the family may have lived in this street before and after these dates.

 

Susannah Tomkins (nee Edmonds) of 18 Hemlock Court was buried on April 7th 1823[3]. The burial register of St Clement Danes, Westminster recorded that her age at death was 34.
