Did they Marry ??? Greenway / Marsden
« on: Monday 13 October 14 14:12 BST (UK) »
(I am such a doofus, I posted this on the Devon board ...)
I am trying to find the Marriage entry for Amanda (Zenobia/Genevia) Greenway and UNKNOWN Marsden.
I have her and her Daughter, living at Volunteer, Charlotte Street, Devonport, Stoke Damerel, Devon, England in 1891.  I found this by searching for the Daughter, as Amanda's name isn't listed.  Very strange entry!
Her childrens name are equally as strange.  I have found a birth entry for Agnes Georgina Marsden June qtr Tavistock, 1891.  but no Violet ....
According to the 1901 census, Amanda is shown as Amanda JG Marsden, and her Children are AG Marsden (1888) and GG Marsden (1892) .... but by the 1911 census, they are Violet (1888) and Agnes (1892)
I can't find a Dad ......
Can anyone help please ??

I've had the 1891 BC back, and it gives the Fathers names as HENRY MARSDEN .... The Mothers entry suggests she was married ... Marsden, formerly Greenway.  He was an Engineer in the Merchant Service.
The birth was registered at Beeralston, Beerferris (sic) .. and Amanda's address at the time is shown as Middle Terrace, Falmouth ..
.. still can't find Dad though ... ???

Any suggestions please ??

Hi
Nothing so far, but a possible birth for Amanda on Cornwall opc

baptism 8/6/1868 Amanda Jenkins GREENWAY, Isles of Scilly,
father Digery Greenway
mother Agnes
residence Bryher
occ Coastguard

This ties in with her brother who was also born Isles of Scilly
I'll keep looking :)

Most intriguing with the children's names.

Amanda is a widow in 1911 so Henry in theory should have died between 1901-1911.
Maybe he died away from home if he was in the Merchant Service.  I see the Greenaway's are also Naval related.

What daughter's name have you got on the 1891?

I can see why it was so hard to find her on 1891, A*y had transcribed them as Andrews carrying on from the previous household. It was Violet on the 1891 Millipede

On the 1891 census, they were also lodging at the same address in Devonport as Amanda's Brother George William Greenway (b 1865) ..

I am wondering if the death for William Henry Marsden, death registered in Tavistock, same address as their Daughter, was the same person?  A bit older than her - but not impossible ...

On freebmd there's a "Janett Agatha Marsden" born Falmouth district in 1888. She may be the "Janette/Jenette A Marsden" married Shadrach J Pugsley in 1912, died as Jenette A Pugsley in 1964 (age matches up - but remarkably difficult to trace in censuses before her marriage).

Is it possible this is "Violet"?

I see the 1891 now thank you  :)

Awful tangle with the names  :-\ I guess the birth for Janett Agatha would confirm if she had the same parents but why keep changing the names and why put them down as initials  ???

There's also a George Frederick Marsden born in Falmouth 1889.
