My grandfather Charles Francis Pamment (born July 9, 1886), married Ada Florence Taylor (born May 4, 1891) on June 20, 1915. Charles Francis Pamment was an engineer and worked for Ediswan Electric Company that made light bulbs. He was an only child; his mother, Clara, died when he was thirteen. Charles Francis Pamment died in 1967.
His father, Charles Henry Pamment, born 29 Dec 1861 (source: birth certificate) had married Clara Baylis in 1885 in St. Giles, Cripplegate. Clara died in 1899 and Charles married Elizabeth Evans in 1903. Elizabeth had a son, Herbert Fred Garrod, by a previous marriage.
Charles Henry’s father was Samuel Pamment, born in Greenwich in 1821. Samuel married Amey Frances Lynn in Islington in 1845 and they had five children. Charles Henry was a foreman for a feather manufacturer in London. He died in 1920. Charles had three older sisters. His brother, Walter Samuel Pamment died at age two from measels (source: death certificate).
His eldest sister was Clarissa Sarah Jane Pamment who was a fancy stationer in 1874 and the 1881 Census. In December 1874 she married James Cansdale. They had two sons, James Samuel and Henry Charles Cansdale. Clarissa became a widow in 1879 when James died but did not remarry. She died in 1909.
Amey Frances Pamment was born 16 Nov 1847 in Old Street, St. Luke. She married Offord Gull in 1872 and they had five children. Offord worked as a railway plate layer. He died in 1893 and Amey continued to live in Bromley, earning a living as a railway station cleaner. She died in 1910.
Alice Lucy Pamment was born 1 Jan 1858 in Aldersgate Street, London. She married Ernest William Lawrence in 1889 and they had two children, Florence Valentine and Sidney Leonard Lawrence. Alice died in 1928.
Samuel Pamment’s father was a baker by trade. He married Sarah Ainsworth in Chipping Ongar, Essex on 9 Apr 1806. They had eight children, the first of whom, William, died aged two and is buried in Chipping Ongar. Their second son, John, was born in Chipping Ongar in 1809 but their third child, Maria, was born in Stoke Newington in 1811. Their son William was also born in Stoke Newington, on 22 May 1813. Then they moved to Greenwich and had Eliza (1815), Sarah (1817) who died in 1818, Jane in 1818 and finally, Samuel, in 1821. Sarah Ainsworth’s parentage may not be clear cut. She was identified as the daughter of William Ainsworth, shopkeeper of Chipping Ongar in his will. William’s first wife was Mary. Mary died in 1789. William Ainsworth married Amy Fowler in 1791. Research at nearby parishes indicates that Amy Fowler may have had a daughter, Sarah, prior to her marriage to William Ainsworth. This requires confirmation.
Charles Francis Pamment married Ada Florence Taylor on 20 Jun 1915 in Edmonton, Middlesex. They had three children: Edward, Vera and Gordon.
