Charles HOLTTUM, FRCSE & LAC, Surgeon & Apothecary % ^ (died 1896)

No. 12 St. Peter's Friars Charles HOLTTUM, Surgeon * with daughter Bessie Louise Holttum (26)

No. 26 Watling Street - 1889 Charles Holttum, M.D. LATCHMERE HOUSE

Latchmere House, Watling Street - Charles Holttum (widower), Surgeon & General practioner

1894 Charles Holttum was a creditor of Jane Long, Fishmonger of St. Margaret's street in the amount of £25

In a two light stained glass window, on the north side of the chancel:

"To the memory of Edward and Sarah Holttum erected by their only surviving son Charles Holttum. F.R.C.S.E."

Edward HOLTTUM died in 1869, aged 75; Sarah Holttum (nee POUT) his wife died in 1865 aged 73.

Both were buried in St. Dunstan's Churchyard

Using the window as the starting point, Edward Holttum originated in Ash in 1795, son of John. Sarah was formerly Pout, born Canterbury,1792 to Charles and Harriet, nee Davis.

Son Edward Holttum, born 1815, died 1857 before his parents. Hence the wording in the window. Charles was the younger son born in 1817.
Those days were sorrowful as Charles wed Elizabeth Cooper who died when their child Bessie was six.

Edward married Elizabeth Knowler Bedford in 1841. They had six children, Gilbert Bedford in 1841, Elizabeth Mary in 1843 and Ann Emily in 1847. Triplets followed in 1850, one dying within days, the next within weeks and the last only lived months.

I had trouble tracing the widow and her family but when I did it gave me answers to other lines.

Elizabeth Mary was my great grandmother. I found her in London in the census with a cousin who must have been a parishioner of the Vicar who was to become my great grandfather. They lost their firstborn son age about seven and a baby girl who was born a year after that. My maternal grandfather was the survivor.
