• Notes

  1871 - Sailor 1881 - AB Seaman. 1882 - aboard HMS Duke of Wellington: it "replaced HMS Victory as flagship of the Port Admiral at Portsmouth from 1869 to 1891 (with Victory becoming her tender), firing salutes to passing dignitaries, such as Queen Victoria on her way to Osborne House" (Wikipedia) 1891 - Clothing packer 1895 - Clothiers Packer 1901 - General Labourer Granddaughter (Vi Bicknell) believes he worked on the Royal Yacht, possibly in the mid-1880s. His service record does not support this, but he served on the Duke of Wellington which was closely associated with Queen Victoria's passage on one of the Royal Yachts between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, where she had a residence - Osborne House Agar Town From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Agar Town (also known as Ague Town, Hagar Town, Agar-Town and Agar-town) was a short-lived area of St Pancras in central London. It was named after William Agar, a wealthy lawyer who lived at Elm Lodge, a villa in large grounds near to the Regent's Canal roughly where Barker Drive is now. Streets included Canterbury Place, Durham Street, and Oxford Crescent. Agar Town, consisting of low-quality housing for poor people, built of the lowest quality materials on 21 year leases, with no street lighting or sewage, and a population of laborers living in houses they built for themselves, was generally considered a slum. This designation has been questioned. The neighbourhood was started in 1841 with Agar's widow leasing out small plots on the north side of the canal. Ownership passed to the Church Commissioners, who sold it to the Midland Railway. The company demolished most of the housing to make way for warehouses supplying St Pancras railway station from 1866. In 1861 James and Mary Brace are living at the same address as Mary Ann White (widow of Charles Withers, remarried in 1859) and her sons Charles, Thomas and Samuel withers and Henry White. In 1871, Charles Withers, sailor, is living with his grandparents, James and Mary Brace.
