Comments on: Tallis’ Street Views Of Bishopsgate 1838 https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/01/05/tallis-street-views-of-bishopsgate-1838/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 06 Jun 2022 15:00:20 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Judy Buckley https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/01/05/tallis-street-views-of-bishopsgate-1838/#comment-1466429 Mon, 06 Jun 2022 15:00:20 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=153075#comment-1466429 Ancestor John Robert Overton, working as a Shopman (probably) in Linen Drapers in Bishopsgate Street Without, joined congregation of Little Alie Street Baptist Chapel in 1807 with his (devout) fiancee, Ruth. They married in 1808 at St Dunstan and All Saints, Stepney. Witness was Andrew Kniess a wealthy Sugar Refiner. Ruth died in 1823 and her obituary is in the Baptist Magazine for that year. John Robert’s grandmother, Judith Sollicoffer, who died in 1810 in MEOT, leaving him bequest, also left bequest to miniature painter Charles Hayter and her trustee (second marriage) was Carl Heydinger, a German bookseller who worked as Librarian for the Honourable Henry Cavendish. Sollicoffer was a Spitalfields Dyer when he married Judith in the Fleet!

All those people are so interesting! I’m trying to link it all!
