Arthur Sidney Everest

[Pam Downes]

Courtesy of the Nanaimo FHS site, I'd found a record for an Arthur S Everest, aged 28, who arrived on the Bavarian in October 1904 on the Library and Archives Canada site, but couldn't enlarge the image enough to see all the details correctly. (It almost looks as if Arthur is married.)

Couldn't find anything for Muriel though.

Pam

He was! Married Nelly Grimwood 30 November 1901 at St George's Tufnell Park in the parish of Islington.
His father Thomas Henry Everest, and Arthur gave as his address the one the family had lived at in the 1901 census - 42 Tufnell Park Road.

Pam
who knew she should have posted her find when she first found it instead of looking for other stuff such as a death for Nellie and children's baptisms.

[Pam Downes]

Arthur was previously married:
Attestation Paper: Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force

Arthur Sydney Everest No.614
Born: 14 March 1876 Tunbridge Wells, Kent
Electrician, married
Next of kin: Wife. Emily Everest of 2172 Cartier? Street. Montreal.
Ever served in Military: 3 yrs 21st Field. 11 years ? Imperial EDRY?Q
Age: 39 years 1 month
5'7" tall, fair complex. grey eyes, light hair.
Dated: 15 March 1915 at Montreal.

So who's Emily? Is she wife #2? Or Nellie by another name? And if Emily is wife #2, what happened to poor Nellie?

The plot thickens.

[Pam Downes]

Looks as if Nelly/Nellie got left behind, unless she joined him much later and changed her name to Emily.

1901 census Nellie Grimwood, aged 28 born Hampstead, is living with her brother James Grimwood in Brecknock Road.
1911 census Nellie Everest, aged 38 born Hampstead, married 9 years on child living, is living with James Grimwood in Brecknock Road.
Strangely, both Nellie and (presumably her daughter) Vera Everest aged 8, are listed as visitors, not sister and niece.
Vera Margaret Everest birth registration June quarter 1903 Hampstead registration district.

Possible death registration for Nelly Everest - aged 73, December quarter 1946 Pancras registration district
Possible marriage for Vera M Everest - December quarter 1949 Pancras registration district to Henry T Sharp.

Returning to Arthur Everest - his death certificate is on FamilySearch.

Passenger lists:

Muriel Brett age 30 listed as 'ret Canadian'

Verity Everest age 4 - child returning to Father.

UK relative listed for Muriel: her sister Mrs V Brett. 43 Mall Chambs? Kensington, London.



Then there is an Emily Everest on the passenger lists:

I'm not sure what's going on with Nelly and/or Emily...and these passenger lists don't help any

Hi this is my first visit to this site. My uncle is one of the other airmen in the grave yard at Fontaine la louvet. Leslie Frederick green. I now some thing but not much can you help please.

[Peter Goodey]

You presumably have the information on the Commonwealth War Graves site.

You can read about RAF Operations here

A guide to Royal Air Force operations record books 1939-1945 is here

The latter guide contains a search form which will display relevant records from the catalogue

For example https://discovery.nationalarchives.go..._dt=SQ&_hb=tna

You can download the ones you're interested in.

You can apply to the Ministry of Defence for his service record but note what it says in the guide "Because of the lack of information on service records, many people choose to consult the ORBs, particularly the Form 540 for references to RAF personnel".

Hello
I don't have any connection to the families concerned. I was just posting some information which I found for others who may have a connection.
