seabrook/hazell

Merry, I thought you had said in post #19 that the John Seabrook who was married to Martha was also a perfumer, but now I realise I misread it and you were just guessing that he might have been. Now I don't think we even know for sure that the Mr Seabrook (perfumer) in that ad was a John, do we? I did look for him earlier on but with no luck.

This cannot be the death of Hannah Seabrook as John was born 14th August 1819

I AM REALLY CONFUSED NOW.
iN MY FAMILY IN Liverpool ON 2 OCCASIONS THE NAME HAEZEL WAS GIVEN AS A SECOND NAME.
ROBERT HAZEL AND JOHN HAZEL SEABROOKE

WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE MARRIAGE OF A JOHN SEABROOK AND HANNAH HAZELL I TOOK LIBERTY AND CLAIMED THEM AS MINE.

BUT ON JOHN SEABROOK [MARINER]WHO MARRIED IN LIVERPOOL IN 1845 HIS FATHER IS A PERFUMER.
SO THE PLOT THICKENS
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLIES

Hello Bert. John was baptised on 14 August 1819. The baptismal register is a bit peculiar. Normally, I'd expect to see entries in chronical order, but they are all over the place. The baptisms appear to have been done in batches once a month to once every six weeks.

Sorry, yes, hoping he might have been a perfumer!

You are quite right that we don't appear to know the first name of the man from Chiswell Street. I'd not really taken that in before.

bert, we are just trying to construct some information about anyone called Seabrook who was a perfumer! At least we now know the age and baptismal details of the John who was blinded by the match chemical explosion. Next is to try and work out if he is the same person who married Hannah Hazell before his marriage to Leah and what happened to Hannah.

Shona, the address for the Seabrook's was Grays Inn Lane and Ann Seabrook was of Mitchell Street. I really need to remember where else I saw Mitchell St Yesterday! Do we know where Mitchell St is?

I bet this is the same man as the perfumer of Chiswell St. Annoyingly, still no first name!

Mitchell Street is beside St Luke's (where the London Symphony Orchestra rehearse these days) - to the west of Old Street.

Entries in London from the Universal British Directory 1791:

Robert Seabrook - trunk maker, 5 Cheapside
James Seabrook - linen draper, 26 Duke St, Smithfield

Annoyingly, Tring isn't in the directory (nor most other places I need!! lol)

I've looked at the London Land Tax Records, 1692-1932 for Chiswell St around 1795 and the man named Seabrook living there at that time (so possibly the hairdresser/perfumer) was named William.

The apprentice records show that Wm Seabrook, citizen and barber of London, paid duties on the 7th Feb 1793, which fits with the name you found, Merry.
