House Notes

CONFUSION: 2 John Martins? (OR some mistake with the recording of death) I have cloned the record of one, changing death dates and address - the rest needs re-checking to sort out. The dead in 1869 one cannot be the one in 1872 list who has Cambridge House, Portsmouth address, but he is MD and the other is called a doctor. Have re-checked 1865 ASL list, JOHN MARTIN FLS FGS CAMBRIDGE HOUSE
number after name to distinguish from another with same name
1869.10.12 death announced [says Dr John Martin]
but then: 1874.04.28 The death of Mr John Martin was announced. Which one is it - I only have one John Martin, but it looks as if there must have been two

A6:2 has John Martin MD FLS FGS, Cambridge House, Portsmouth, and in the last column 'died 1869' crossed out.
A6:3 has his name crossed out but 'stet' written, so obviously still around, and a tick in the 1871 column

Notes From Elsewhere

[from History in Portsmouth]: No. 132... also known as Cambridge House
Cambridge House is the most elaborate building on High Street and has arguably been so since it was constructed around 1860. The level of ornamentation is quite unprecedented in either private residence or public building. Perhaps it is indictative of the confidence felt by the community in the middle of the Victorian period, just after the Great Exhibition of 1851, a time when there were very few new buildings constructed on High Street.
