    Default Loose, Brancaster

    Hello - I've just started tracing our family tree and picked up your enquiry from a Google search for "Victory Brancaster". My maternal grandmother, Clara Softly (born 1885) was the grandaughter of Thomas Loose the publican of the Victory. She appears in the 1901 census as a visitor (staying in another property) and (I presume her brother) is in the 1881 census as Thomas's grandson William Softly. An old article in "Norfolk Fair" refers to a number of Loose family members, not all necessarliy related, in Brancaster between 1900 up until today.

    Any info on Loose's or Softly's (or Hipkin's from Fakenham, Norfolk) gratefully recieved

My mother was born on 3/11/1912 in Adelaide. Their apparently is no record of a marriage in Adelaide. Death of Florence was definitely in Adelaide, but there is no record under her married name ( alias deHarvie). I did not think to check under maiden name, or maybe a defacto "Back" The death would have occured about 1928/1929 when my mum was 16.

    You are right HBOX; there are lots and lots of Loose's, especially in Brancaster.
    I'm still working out who is related to whom. In the 1891 census there is a reference to a William Softly, Head, Widow, 35, a son William, 12, an Eliza, daughter, possibly 10 and another daughter whose name I cannot work out, 8.They are listed below a Thomas Loose, fisherman. I am still awaiting a certificate to confirm that this Thomas is a brother of Henry Loose, also fisherman. I have seen the page about the Victory; another licensee was a Robert Skipper - if its the same Robert he married an Elizabeth Loose; the 1871 census has this one's address as the Victory Inn, occupation as ?? Keeper and fisherman; once again am awaiting a marriage certificate to prove she is the sister of my henry and thomas. I'm afraid I can't much- you just have to keep digging patiently.
    To all those who helped me I know have certificates proving the parentage of my Florence and am now slowly collecting other's to get a picture of the family

    Default Harry Loose

    Hi Christina,

    In your message you mentioned 'Harry Loose'. My Mum remembers him as her uncle (he could charm worts), but I can't find him in my family tree - nearest is Henry Loose. Mum's grandmother was Rose Loose and she knows for a fact Harry called her his sister. Most likely Harry was not his birth name, so I'm trying to place him.

    You mentioned a photo with Harry in it - this would be fantastic - would happily trade some of my Mum's stories about him for a copy!

    I have a comprehensive family tree on genesreunited and have communicated several times with my S. Australia relations

    BTW, my daugher's name is Christina

    Hope to hear from you soon - direct email would be fine.

    best regards
    Jim Benefer
    Great Grandson of Rose Loose and Herbert Sutherland of Brancaster

    Of course FBMD is not complete but the census records for and Edna Loose back this up.
    I wonder if your mum could have meant her mother's sister Ethel who was 2 years older than Florence or Emily b 1877 who appears on the 1891 census with Henry and Christina (and various other spellings) and John b1879 and Henry b1881.
    Harry Loose in the photo could be Henry brother of Florence.
    I can't help you with your research in SA as I am not familiar with what is available. The only experience I have had is with NSW and at least their BMD's are on line.
    Did you find a death for Arthur Spencer Harvey at all?
    I'm sorry I am not really much help but because your information is from your mother's birth certificate I would say that you are on the right track with the Florence we both found even though the age is a few years out.
    There are only 4/5 Florence Loose's in the census 1861 to 1901 and only one in the correct place and time .
    Good luck with it
    Christina

    Hello Jim
    People given the birth name Henry were often called Harry so the Henry/Harry mentioned in my post on the 1881 census is one and the same person - Florence and Rose were his sisters as per the census records. Do you have these records? The photo you refer to was mentioned by the originator of this post JJOP whose grandmother was Florence, Harry and Rose's sister. It isn't actually of people but of the houses they lived in. You will have to contact her about it.
    I will email you privately.
