| 276 | Edward Kemp died in Bournemouth A/M/J 1957 ( 6B 136 ) when his age was recorded as 80 years 7/4/04 - Searched for birth as Edward Kemp for years 1876 & 1877 Only likely ones are:- Edward Ernest Kemp, born Louth O/N/D 1876, 7a 602 Edward Kemp, born Wortley J/F/M 1877, 9c 296 (where's Wortley?) 3/9/03 - Searched for birth as Edward Durrance for years 1875 to 1880 Only likely one is:- Edward Durrans born Huddesfield June Qtr. 1877 9a 355. Birth Cert obtained for Edward Durrans 9a 355 but was not the right Edward. As Edward appears to have been born before Sarah Fitkin was married it might be worth looking for an Edward Fitkin born about 1877. 2/10/2004 - Finally found Edwards birth_ Birth Source, GRO Birth Record:- Edward Kemp Fitkin, born Doncaster, Dec Qtr. 1876, GRO Ref 9c 717 This has to be the right Edward with both the names Kemp and Fitkin. He was born about 18 months before his mother Sarah Fitkin married Charles Durrance. We now know where he got the name Kemp from: he was christened with it as a middle name. It could be that Kemp was his natural fathers surname and possibly Edward his first name. It may be worth searching for an Edward Kemp, living in Doncaster born about 1856. Birth Cert sent for and this may throw more light onto the situation. Birth Cert:- District Doncaster in the County of York Date Born - 2nd Novenber 1876 at 1 West Laith Gate, Doncaster. No Father recorded Mother - Sarah Fitkin Searched for an Edward Kemp living in Doncaster at that time but couldn't find one. Informant - Sarah Fitkin, Mother. Resident at 1 West Laith Gate, Doncaster. Date Registered - 22nd November 1876 Searched for an Edward Kemp living in Doncaster at that time but couldn't find one. Edward used the name Fitkin for his marriage in 1900 and also registered his daughter Nellie as a Fitkin in 1900 but by the 1901 Census he had dropped the Fitkin and was using his middle name Kemp. 1901 Census Address - 64 Foundry Street, Horncastle, Lincolnshire. Head Edward Kemp Aged 24 yrs Railway Engine Cleaner Born Doncaster Wife Mary A Kemp Aged 23 yrs Born Spilsby, Lincs Daug Nellie Kemp Aged 4 months Born Horncastle It is not known when or why Edward changed his name from Durrance to Kemp but the 1901 Census indicates it was much earlier than originally thought. Family folk law comes up with two possible reasons why he changed his name. One because he was brought up by different people than his original parents and their name was Kemp. The second reason was because it would be better for his business prospects. The second reason is looking less plausible as he had already changed the name by 1901 and at that time he was employed as a Railway Engine cleaner and had not gone into business for himself. Con Clarke, nephew of Edward Durrance, believes that Edward first made his mark as a business man by repairing bicycles for the Army during the 1914/1918 war. In Kellys 1933 and 1937 for Louth is the same Commercial entry: East Lincs Motor Co. Ford & Fordison Specialists. (Edward Kemp proprietor) 158 Eastgate, Louth. TN 76. Also in Kells for 1937 in Louth is an entry: Durrance Charles R. Ground Chalk Works, 37 Legbourne Rd. In the Lincolnshire Almanack for 1927 is an entry for a Mrs Durance of 142 Foundry St., Horncastle. This may just be coincedence.

| 296 | Folk Lore says that Durrance was a French man and had a twin brother but there is no evidence of this to date.His wife had a Scottish mother and an Irish father. Her father was a horse trader and died when the TAY bridge collapsed. This was the grandfather of Edith Clarke my grandmother. Charles Durrance was born illegitimate to Harriet Durrance on the 17th June 1851. Harriet was still living with her parents in Burton Lazars during the 1851 Census so must have gone to the workhouse shortly afterwards. The birth was registered by John Williams Master of the Workhouse on the 23rd June 1851. A copy of the birth certificate is on file. Charles was married to Sarah Fitken on 11th July 1878 at St. Andrews Church, Great Grimsby. At the time they were both living at 40 Charles St., New Clee and he was a Fisherman. He puts his age at 22 but it should have been 27( perhaps the 7 looked like a 2 on the original cert.) He was a batchelor at the time and put his father down as Edward Durrance(deceased) who was actually his grandfather. Charles had been brought up by his grandparents so perhaps he hadn't been told that his real mother was Harriet. Another strange thing from the marriage certificate is that Edward Durrance was down as a miner when all the census had shown him as an agricultural labourer. Sarah was 26 and a spinster and her father was George Fitkin(deceased) occupation Ostler(a stable hand at an inn) Working with horses would tie in with the folk lore that said he died on the Tay Bridge disaster while trading horses. However, the wedding was 1878 when George was seemingly dead and the Tay Bridge disaster was the following year in 1879. The story also goes that Charles remarried so perhaps it was his second wife's father who died on the Tay Bridge. Later investigation provided a list of victims form the Tay Bridge disaster, which is contained in the scrapbook. This was combined with a second list which now contains 72 of the 75 people believed to have lost their lives on that fateful night 28th December 1879. There was no George Fitkin listed or any horse dealer, which there wouldn't have been if he died before Sarah married. There are 3 names still unaccounted for but where a family new their relative was a victim the rail authority would have been advised. This folk law is still a mystery unless there was another marriage. The marriage was witnessed by Robert Ward and Jane Heusman. All signed with their mark x except for Sarah, so apparently Charles couldn't write. 1881 Census Dwelling - 1 Charles Street Bests Bldgs. Census Place - Clee with Weelsby, Greater Grimsby Head Charles Durrance Aged 28 Fisherman Born Melton Mowbray Son Edward Durrance Aged 4 Born Doncaster,Lincoln Daug Jane Durrance Aged 2 Born Grimbsby,Lincoln Wife Sarah Durrance Aged 29 Born Liverpool, Lancs Edward Durrance was born in 1877 prior to Charles and Sarah's marriage in 1878. Also on 1881 was the Vessel "Excelsior", Great Grimsby, Lincoln Benjamin Wells Married Aged 27 Master Born Yarmouth, Norfolk ROBERT DURRANCE Married Aged 26 Mate Born Burton Lazers George Little U/M Aged 20 Fisherman Born Lewisham, Kent John Manning U/M Aged 20 Fisherman Born Plymouth, Devon Charles Keal U/M Aged 15 Apprentice Born Grimsby, Lincs. The fact that Robert Durrance and Charles Durrance were both brought up in Burton Lazers and were both fishermen in Grimbsby in 1881cant be coincidence. It is probable that they both worked together on the Excelsoir but on the night of the Census Charles was at home with his family. This is also probably where the story came from that Charles had a twin and they were both fishermen out of Grimsby. They were almost certainly related but not twins and probably not brothers but possibly cousins. 1881 Census:- Great Grimsby, Lincoln, England 54 Albert St. Great Grimsby Elizabeth Durance Wife(Head) Married Aged 20 Born Dublin, Ireland Nobody else was recorded in the house on that night. Could this have been the wife of Robert Durrance who was on board the Excelsoir? If so was Elizabeth and Sarah related as they were both born in Dublin?
