Find Ancestors

Thank you patchem made note of that will read it in more depth later, just found that Lady Grace Mary Brocklebank died at 31 Queens gate Kensington which is just off Cromwell road so that looks promising will see where that takes me and if it leads me a little closer to our elusive Rosa Robinson.
thank you all for your help .

Some interesting information about the houses in the district;

Apparently London and the address that Irene said was Cromwell Road but I have searched and never found any evidence of them living here.
Irene was unfortunately 97 when she died ,her son has only recently started looking so information is sketchy.
Next thing is to look for addresses off Cromwell Road or maybe somewhere called Cromwell place or street ,thank you for your help, I will just keep digging .

On the probate for both the Brocklehursts the address given is Nunsmere Sandiway, Cheshire although neither of them died at that address. It looks like the have had more than one residence? Do you know where your ancestors worked?

thank you for you replies,will look at the Guinness Trust one Patchem, and yes that is our Rosa Rootgatherer we have that info already, it is after she goes to London that I cant find .....Irene who passed away a month or so ago was the great niece who was given the job in the same householdas Rosa , her son has little info (have just found in the last 6 months) apparently his mother always said she worked for lady brocklebank in cromwell st.with her auntie Rosa...my great grandmother always said " she worked for royalty",wish I had started this when my great grandmother was alive may have had a better chance of finding her.
But thank you all anyway it is appreciated

Lady Brocklebank?

Sir Aubrey Brocklebank, 3rd Bt. was born on 12 July 1873.

xxxx He married Hon. Grace Mary Jackson, He died on 19 April 1929 at age 55.

There is a Lady Robinson living on Cromwell Road, 1904/1914 and beyond, but not Brocklebank?

Added; This one could have a husband on the ER, so probably discount.

Have you got the death certificates to discount them, or are you expecting deaths in Worcestershire or London, only?

been looking for many years for information regarding my great grandmothers aunt Rosa who was born 1872 Martley ,Worcestershire 1901 census working as servant to a Mr McCrosty in Esher ,1911 back at Martley with father but apparently she then worked as housekeeper for Lady Brocklebank in Cromwell rd London, I have been unable to prove or disprove this but apparently she got a position of housemaid for her great niece who was born 1916 apparently Irene was between 15 and 17 when she worked here.This would be around the dates of 1930-1935ish. Apparently she never married but we are unable to find any death for her. Any help or hint in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
