Can anyone identify the maiden name of Easther Scott?
Also I can't make out the occupation of James Husband?
Thanks
-
Could be Varne. I thought at first it was Vine but now I don't think so. The occupation is cabinet maker.
-
I'd say it is Varne - although the other es are different, the letter at the end is a small version of the capital E in Esther.
Agree with cabinet maker
Add - I think the letter that you see as a is actually a flourish to the capital E - so it's Esther not Easther.

Familysearch has these 2 entries;

Rebecca Campbell, 2
Easter SCOTT, 25, Lodger, Soldiers Wife, born Kent, stepler
Authur Scott, 5, born Kent, headvmin

Typed up as transcribed ;D
-
Easter SCOTT, 25, Lodger, Soldiers Wife, born Kent, stepler
???
But he's a shoemaker on the certs - how strange - maybe he enlisted at some point :-\
-
Maybe is is Shoemaker but mistranscribed? Like to know what the actual image has.
Esther was certainly a busy girl though.
A Tree has her marrying George Walker 02 Sep 1878 • Dysart Manse

Looks like Varne.

Cabinetmaker.

Snodland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snodland
Esther Vane, mother Rofe, born Maidstone, 1847, December quarter, GRO Ref Vol 5 page 326. Nothing under Vaine or Varne. Snodland is in Maidstone registration district.
Esther Vane or Scott married George Walker in Dysart in 1878. The marriage certificate should confirm her parents' names.
-
In 1851, Esther is with her parents, James and Ann, at Windmill Cottage, Staplehurst, Kent
HO107/1616/276/25
and 1861, at Headcorn, Hollingbourne
RG9/506/85/14
Interestingly, James is a cordwainer/shoemaker.
James Vane married Ann Rofe on 24th Nov 1833, Cranbrook.

Add - Forfarian - your findings confirm Replies #3-8 :)

I wonder if there was really a marriage to David Scott. Or is John Duncan the same person?
Esther Married John Duncan 1867. By 1871 is Mrs Scott, not many years in between those 2 events.
Then next Marriage 1878 to George Walker.
Interestingly F/S has this;
David Duncan SCOTT christening: 1 July 1845, All Parishes, Jamaica
Parents David Scott and Susan Chambers.
1861 Census has a John Duncan in kent, Second Battalion 17th Regiment of Foot, born 1842 Huddersfield, Yorkshire.
(Just posting in case he is a suspect in the future)
-
Interesting - I've just found the 1867 marriage in Snodland
Esther Vane (aged 20) to John Duncan (aged 25). John is down as a Shoemaker. Father - John Duncan.
Her father as found above.
Any sign of John Duncan on the 1871?
-
Plenty of John Duncans in Kent in 1871 Census but none are married Shoemakers/Cordwainers.
There is Death Reg for one 1874 age 33 in Woolwich
-
No - most of them seem to be unmarried military! Didn't see any probable deaths either, but a death could be anywhere - it's a fair way from Kent to Aberdeen.
Think the OP has disappeared. I think the answer to the original question was Vane ;D
-
What a crazy family I have lol thanks for all your help :)
-
Yes you are right Gadget.
Thanks for replying Paulfinn7979.
