Debbie and her daughter, who live in the US and are descendants of Victoria Booth-Clibborn, are visiting London at the end of March. I and Margaret, my sister-in-law, are going to meet Debbie and her daughter in London. We plan to visit the places in London linked to the Booths and Booth-Clibborns. If anyone else wants to join this mini family reunion please email me.

Margaret Grubb Clibborn nee Murray died 18 October 1894 and her death certificate was issued at Eastbourne Registry Office, England. In her daughter’s photograph album there was one photograph of a large elderly woman wearing a bonnet taken by a photographer in Eastbourne. The person in the picture was not identified but I now think is Margaret. This photograph is on the MSN Clibborn webpages - at the moment in the ‘unidentified’ section.
I had come across a reference to Eastbourne in archives of Arthur Booth-Clibborn. Although in the third person is probably written by him. Quote
"A.S B-C’s Father who had so nobly helped him in all his spiritual forward steps came over to see him and his wife during the Great Paris Exhibition. Soon afterwards, his mother, who used to occasionally minister in the Friends Meetings in Ireland, passed away. He had been at her side until the last at Eastbourne, where she resided near her mother’s sister, Mrs Doctor Bell whose grand-daughter later became the wife of Lord Glasgow, President of the Anti-Bolschevist Persecution Movement."
"Mrs Doctor Bell" is in the 1881 census as Margaret Bell aged 70. She was born in Ireland as was her daughter Esther. Also living with them is Rebecca Banfield aged 70 a cousin from Ireland. Margaret’s mother’s maiden name was Banfield, and her sister was Anne who married Thomas Grubb and had a daughter Margaret Grubb Murray.
