1788 - ????
Awarded the compensation for the St Clair estate in Trinidad (owned by Richard and Maria Bridgen, both of whom q.v.) as judgement creditor. Â
Probably the widow of James Safe, 'Garrison surgeon of His Majestys forces island of Trinidad' whose will was proved 14/11/1818.
In 1871 Eliza Safe aged 83 widow born Scotland 'Officer's widow receiving pension' was living at Nelson house Broadwater, Worthing Sussex, apparently as a boarder (although no relationship is stated), with her unmarried daughter Emma aged 45 (also born Scotland). If the age of the daughter is correct, this could not be a child of James Safe above. In 1841 Eliza Safe aged 50 born S[cotland] was living at Prospect Place St Margaret's Westminster. The Eliza Safe widow late of 14 New Bridge street Blackfriars who died at Boulogne 05/02/1886 and whose will was proved 23/03/1886 by Thomas Rowley Safe the son, effects £1115 15s 8d, would have been 98 years old if it she is same woman.
Trinidad no. 1456A. T71/894 Claim by Richard Bridgen and Maria Bridgen 'Port of Spain', owners-in-fee. Counterclaim from Eliza Safe, of the City of London, by a judgement and execution dated 4th and 9th March 1835 Capital £1500. Other counterclaims withdrawn, including Reid and Dixon as assignees of Manning & Anderdon. T71/1611 letter from H.Murray 35 Sackville Place re no.1456: 'it is in hope of serving a poor widow lady named Safe with a large family and whose all is invested in that property.' Eliza Safe b. about 1805 probably dau. of James Safe, navy surgeon [net:care].
PROB 11/1610.
1841 and 1871 censuses online; National Probate Calendar 1886. Thomas R. Safe was born 1811 in Malta of British parents [1891 and 1901 censuses online], which would be consistent with a peripatetic career for James Safe the naval surgeon.
