Previous family trees from Arthur Surl & Annie Dean have only listed 7 children but, thanks to the baptism lists from Peggy Day, another 4 have been found, all of whom died very young :

9.2 

Arthur George (‘George’) - b Quy 17/02/1880, bap Quy 04/04/1880, died 15/08/1944 in Kentish Town, London. Married Hannah SAGE (1881-1957) in St Pancras, London in Sep qtr 1904 and they had four daughters, all of whom had non-Dean style 1^st Christian Names - Lillian, Winifred, Frances and Edna. For more details on Hannah, see Sage family tree 2 and, for the daughters, see Dean tree part 3.

Unless Arthur George’s brother George William was also popularly known by his second Christian name, it is assumed that use of Arthur’s popular name of George only commenced after his brother’s death in 1913. How, when or why Arthur George moved to London is not known but he spent all his working life with the Midland Railway. He is now known to have started off at Leicester where he is shown in the 1901 census as a 21 yr old engine cleaner. Hannah also appears in the 1901 census as a domestic servant in Leicester, so this is presumably where they met.

As far as is known, neither he nor Hannah had any close connections with London area so presumably it was promotion which took him to Kentish Town shed (shed code 1B), and why the marriage took place in St Pancras. Over the years he progressed through cleaner to firemen to driver and then through the 'links' to the top. As such he drove old Midland Compounds (his favourites) and the newer LMSR Jubilees on the line out of St Pancras to Bedford and beyond but turns on cross-London freights were not uncommon and were popular with the family as the girls could take him fresh meat to cook on the shovel whilst the train was inevitably held at the signals close to Junction Road bridge. During WW2 he fell into the turntable pit at the shed and seemingly never properly recovered.

From the birth certificate of eldest daughter Wyn (1910), initial family home in London was 8, Hugo Road, Islington. They then fairly soon moved to 19, Churchill Road (between Tufnell Park and Kentish Town) which remained the family home for the rest of their married life.    

Following George's death, Hannah, by then a rather large and strict woman with silver-grey hair always done up in a bun, spent most of her later life with 2^nd daughter Wyn and son-in-law Tom. Initially this was in the London area thence, when an opportunity arose for Tom to run a butchers shop with his brother in his Yorkshire homeland, the family moved to Darlington. However, the cold climate 'up north' did not suit Hannah so the family moved south again at the earliest opportunity - to Warley Hill, Brentwood. There were odd spells spent with Evelyn & Arthur, either in Aldenham or, post 1955, in Cliftonville, Margate. 

9.3

Sidney John - bap Quy 14/05/1882, killed in action, 1918. Arthur Surl quoted the date of death as 11/11/1918 and I had always been led to believe that this occurred a few hours after the Armistice was signed on that day but this story is disproved by the "Roll of Honour" in Quy Village Hall which states:

"DEAN Sidney John, Private, 45993, 7th Bn., Suffolk Regiment who was killed in action on Wednesday, 27th March 1918. Age 36. Born Quy, enlisted Newmarket. Son of Mrs. Sarah Dean, of 5, Ditton Lane, Cambridge; husband of Gertrude Dean, of Great Wilbraham, Cambridge. Formerly 18456, Suffolk Regiment. Commemorated on Pozieres Memorial, Somme, France. Panel 25"

In 1901 he is listed as a 19yr old carpenter’s labourer living with his grandfather (John Dean) at 28 High Street, Quy rather than with his father and family at the Swan.

In 1911 (source Camdex) he married Gertrude POULTER of (and poss also at) Little Wilbraham (Source - Annie) but as can be seen from above, they later lived at Great Wilbraham. No known issue.

The only Gertrude Poulter in Cambs in the 1901 census is one aged 26 in Little Wilbraham so looks to be the same as the Girtrude (sic) Poulter aged 6 listed in 1881 for Gas Row, Little Wilbraham (daughter of John and Eliza). This makes her bc 1875 so some 7 years his senior.

No death record for Gertrude can be found in Camdex for the Cambridge area but Evelyn Surl nee Dean did make references when I was young to an "Aunty Gertie" as a quite formidable character so, if the same, she probably died in the 1950’s.

9.4 

Florence Mary - bap Quy 14/10/1883, buried 28/09/1884 aged 1

9.5 

Walter James - bap Quy 12/05/1885 but born late 1884 according to Annie. In 1901 he is shown (at the Swan) as a 16 year old ‘carter’. No date of death is known but Camdex does have an entry for a Walter Dean in 1934.

He married Lillian May GOLDING (‘May’) and Camdex lists this as being in 1913. There was more than one Golding family in Quy in 1881, including one running another pub (the Bush), but the most likely parents of ‘May’ are Alfred (a labourer) & Sarah. No date of birth or death for ‘May’ is known.

Only one child is known: Marjorie (or Marjory) Beryl born 20/03/1917, bap Quy 23/09/1917. Annie said that Marjorie married a Ronald JELLINGS (Camdex list confirms this in 1940 but with the spelling of her name as ‘Marjory’) and that they in turn had a daughter Ruth. Annie said that they used to live in the Cambridge area but contact with them had been lost. Whilst the 1940 marriage was indeed in the Cambridge area, there are no birth records in Camdex for Ruth or death records for either Marjory or Ronald.

Peggy writes "I remember Wal Dean and his wife and daughter very well. May was a great friend of my great aunt. Marjorie was about 6 years older than me. She got a place at the technical college in Cambridge (now the Ruskin Anglia University in East Road). She was quite a shy girl and I think the family moved to Cambridge in the 1930’s. I think Marjorie died comparatively young."

9.6 

Florence Jemima - bap Quy 25/07/1886. Shown as a 5 year old in 1881 but as a 14 year old housemaid (to her parents) in Quy 1901. She died of TB and Camdex suggests that this was in 1925.

Married Fred THEOBALD and Camdex indicates this was in 1920. Issue unknown.

Fred Theobald remarried after Florence’s death and had 7 children, two of whom still live in Quy. Fred kept the Swan for many years thence, following his death, it was run by his widow. Source - Peggy Day

Note - early in 2006,  the lease of the Swan, now generally known as the White Swan, came back into the hands of the Theobald family - the licensee now being Marion Theobald, Maggie's granddaughter - source Peggy Day.

9.7

Rose/Rosa - bap 14/04/1889. Died c 1983 having spent the latter years of her life institutionalised in/near Cambridge. Baptism register records her as Rose but 1901 census and Camdex marriage record both list her as Rosa.

In 1910 she married Charles WRIGHT (1883-1970) and they had one daughter Molly (b1920) who, having spent the majority of her life in Cambridge, now lives in Gamlingay. In 1944 Molly married Douglas NEWMAN (1923-1984); no issue.

9.11

Annie Mary - born Quy 29/08/1899, bap 03/12/1899. Died 1985 - never married.

A real character, Annie never enjoyed much of a formal education. Most of her life was spent at 97 Ditton Walk in Cambridge (where she acted as ‘Mum’ or Aunty to several families in the street) but a few months before she died, her progressively deteriorating mobility forced her to move to a home in Gamlingay.

Peggy Day writes "My mother was at school with Annie Dean. I remember that she used to come on the bus to see Maggie Theobald (nee Golding). In fact Maggie Theobald moved into the house in Station Road when Wal Dean left." Maggie married Frank Theobald (the brother of Fred Theobald who married Florence Dean - 9.6) and the above suggests that she was also a close relative (poss sister) of Lillian May Golding (who married Walter ‘Wal’ Dean - 9.5).

Annie did travel about a bit - usually on organised coach tours - and ‘Greyhound’ coach was her preferred method of travel to Cliftonville or Birchington on her virtually annual pilgrimages to visit my parents. My abiding memory of Annie though was at the pre-funeral gathering in her front room for her sister Rosa. When I was ushered in by one of her friends, I quickly noticed the pale faces and blotchy eyes of the assembled company so naturally assumed that there had recently been some outpouring of grief for the deceased. After pleasantries were exchanged, the conversation switched to snooker and the reason for their appearance soon became obvious. They had all been up half the night watching a championship match and their heartthrob Steve Davis had lost!
