Your monument shall be my gentle verse
That eyes not yet created shall o'er read
And tongues to be, your being, shall rehearse
When all the breathers of your world are dead
You still shall live, such virtue hath my pen
Where breath most breathes - in mouths of men

William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Charles Ginn of Islington d. unknown

Charles moved around a lot and, annoyingly, I do not know precisely when and where he died, so would be grateful to any descendant who can supply that informatin.

Charles was the brother of John in my last post and son of James of Royston.  He was in Cambridge in 1844 where he married Sarah Lindsell who came from Debden.  Between 1844 and 1851 they had travelled all around Essex.

Charles was alive in 1871 as a tin plate worker in London but I cannot trace him after that.

Charlies and Sarah had six children:

Sarah - married Henry West in 1870.  A lot of descendants

Julia - she gave birth to an illegitimate child, Henry Charles Ginn in 1869.  In later life, he was always known as plain Charles Ginn and married and has descendants. The 1881 census shows Julia married to a Stephen Lipwick.  Unfortunately, I have not been able to trace the marriage.

John - married Martha Clark in 1881.  No children known to this marriage.  John died in Hackney in 1918.  Martha predeceased him in Shoreditch in 1904.

Mary Jane - married Henry Bonson in 1876

Alice - married Alexander Watford in 1879

Emily  -  is untraced

NB  I am indebted to my friend Michael Ginn for a lot of the information that appears here
