Thanks for the reply Deirdre- before we look further, can I ask what documentation you have to confirm Eleanor's parents as William & Emily?

And agree with Margaret- we could do with details of the 1881/ 1891 census that you have

This is the only one on FreeBMD that seems to fit but I'm sure she's the daughter of Frederick & Rosetta:

Births Jun 1877 (>99%)

could this be Eleanor Putney I think comes under Lambeth area

I agree with the above from Chris. As Eleanor (called Nelly by her family) was a spinster and her parents are buried at Putney Lower Common Cemetery I suspect she is there too. I did find the grave of parents Samuel & Emma. I do have a photo of Nelly. She therefore did die in 1932 at only 56, but quite a rich woman. Probate mentions dying at 13 Erpingham Road, Putney (a road near Hereford Cottage). I wonder what she died of. Nelly was one of 8 children but only 5 survived to adulthood; William Howlett, Emily Hannah (my grandmother), George Lee, Eleanor Elizabeth J & James Howlett. Can anyone find out who the others were? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR SUGGESTIONS AND HELP - GRAFULLY APPRECIATED.

This just gets more confusing! Are you saying now that parents are Samuel & Emma when you said definitely earlier that parents were Henry & Emily?

Is this her probate?

Nelly Foster 34

Married 46 years, 8 children born, 5 still living.

1871 census 2 children, William 2, Emily 6 months.

1881 5 children, William 12, Emily 10, George 7. Eleanor 5. James H. 2

1891 4 children, Emily 20, George 17, Ellen 15, James 12

1901 2 children William 32, Lizzie 24

1911 only Nellie 34

Nellie was evidently Lizzie in 1901, Ellen in 1891 and Eleanor in 1881.

I think Eleanor Beatrice bap 1867 & Samuel Charles Henry bap 1882 died in infancy . There is one child still missing. A relative mentioned a James Alfred but she may have been wrong.
Not sure where the "Howlett" name comes from - probably someone's maiden name, but whose I'm not sure.
Emma Foster, wife of Samuel Foster was the daughter of Joseph William Smart & Anne Lee. Perhaps Anne's maiden name was Howlett. The Smarts lived in London.

Chris - Going back a few threads - yes William Craven married Emily Foster - they are my grandparents.
