Hi can anybody look up the 1891 census for a Alice Gertrude Barker she was living in Cambridge in 1893 and would have been about 16/17 at the time of the census she would have been in domestic service.
Best Regards

Hi Sue
Thanks for that,I have been on the trail for a friend of a Phoebe Gertrude Casbolt,who we believed was born about 1891/2 as she said she was 21 in 1913 on her marriage cert,but she is a lady who seemed to have no past as she is not in the freebmd or in the 1901 and in the 1891,but had a stroke of luck and found her birth on line at the Cambridge records forked out £8 of my friends money and got the birth cert this morning 15-8-1893 Pheobe Gertude Casbolt born to Alice Gertrude Barker domestic servant living at Morley Cottages Russell Street Cambridge,seems like the age old tale of naming the child after the man who did the deed,so thought it might just be possible that she was a servant in a Casbolt household in Cambridge in 1891,back to the drawing board.

 Sue you are a winner,this has to be it I have the first cert you have on your list but it did not have a fathers name on it ,also I believe you are right with the family with Charles Casbolt as head as my friend says that the family thought that Pheobe Gertrudes Casbolts father was a Drayman which means that a Brewers Labourer could have started to deliver beer between 1901 and 1913 and also Pheobe's father was dead by 1913 when she got married,I looked at this family you have mentioned,if I am not wrong Charles died soon after the 1901 census will try freebmd,as with all family story's they have to be taken with a pinch of salt but the story is that Phoebe's younger sister and brother went into Barnado's,but that of course is like dropping of the face of the world,as Barnados would like to forget the children sent abroad as it is now seen as not right,you are a star Sue

I think we are getting to the heart of the matter dear old Charles was still married  still married to Alice Barker or not this is the family my friend has been looking for and with a Casbolt name it should not be too hard to trace back as it is a Cambs name even the few I found in Stoke on Trent came from Cambs add another star to your row ,thanks alot Brian.

Hi I just found the only Charles Casbolt born in early 1850's in freebmd and the only Charles Casbolt born 1856 in the 1881 census are the same and in the 1881 census he is married to a Lucretia Casbolt with one child he gives his birth place as Linton but that covers Balsham as well,we have a complete lunatic here 2 wives and one pretend one no wonder he died aged 50 the nagging alone not to mention the M-in Law's.
Best Regards Brian.
