I have been researching my gr grandmother, Angelina Sophia Patterson Churchouse b 1879. I know that she had a son, Henry John Brooks b 1906, and I believe she also had a girl, Elsie Dorothy b 1908 who died as an infant. The children share the same surname. She married Albert George Picken in 1911 and her name on the marriage certificate was Angelina Sophia Brooks (widowed). I have not been able to find a marriage for her and Frank Brooks. I also have the baptismal record for Henry John and his father is listed as Frank Brooks. Can anybody help? I am a worldwide subscriber on Ancestry and have not found it there.

Thanks! Where did you find that? I have not been able to find her on the 1881 or 1901 census.

I think the Frank Brooks I posted married Harriet Maria Laurence on 30 Dec 1899 in Ealing
1911 he is with her visiting someone in Southampton - I don't think they had children
What occ does it give for Frank on the baptism records??
Will take another look at census - think I have her in 1881
Back soon

I don't have the certificates, just the Registry from St. Paul's Church in Weymouth. It doesn't have the occupation.

That is the right census report, but I can't find it on Ancestry, weird.

Hi to help out on my site in 1891 we have a transcribed Phoeby Churchhouse aged 11 b Weymouth with some of the 1881 family Census Ref RG12/1647/90/5

On Anc* Sophia is shown as Sophia Churchowr 1880 Weymouth in 1881

Thank you Keyboard86, that is correct. Can I ask, what do you mean by "on my site"?

Parish registers should give address & Occ
Was Angelina Sophia illegit???
I think James and Mary J on 1881 census are brother & sister and are unmarried -so maybe the children are Mary J's?

Yes, Angelina Sophia, along with her sister Harriet and brother Charles were all illegitimate and I believe they all had different fathers too. Names are Harriet Elizabeth Nailer Churchouse, Charles John Taylor Churchouse and Angelina Sophia Patterson Churchouse. Mother was Mary Jane Churchouse. I have Sophie's birth certificate plus 2 marriage certificates, one with Albert George Picken (who I would love to find - another story there) and the other with Walter Birmingham. She is listed as a widow on both marriage certificates. Her birth certificate lists only the mother.

:) My first choice site is not Anc** on the 1891 if the correct young lady she is Phoff Churchhouse b 1880 Weymouth

OK, now I understand :) Yes, Phoff is actually Sophie. I don't know if that is what they called her or not. My Mom said she was known as Suky or Sophie.

Phoff is the transcription for her in 1891 , (on Ancestry) the image looks like Sophy to me ,

I checked the Frank Brooks that married Harriet Lawrence and I suspect that this is the right guy. Since I haven't been able to find a marriage for him and Sophie, I wonder if, when he was stationed in Portland, he lived with her, fathered 2 children, 1 died in infancy, and then left her. I haven't found a death for him yet. If this is him, poor Sophie. That is 2 men that used and abused her :(
