Huntingdonshire / Re: BAUMGARTNER family
« on: Friday 12 August 11 23:26 BST (UK) »
Hello there....I have just discovered that my Gt-Gt-Grandmother, Louisa Selina Woods, (b.1850, Milton, Cambs) whom we knew to be the illegitimate daughter of a dressmaker named Susan Woods, named her father on her Marriage certificate as George Samuel Baumgartner.
This has been fascinating for me as I have discovered a wealth of information online about the Baumgartner family, including a website about Island Hall, Godmanchester (the "family seat"!) and the descent on his grandmother, Tryce Mary Percy Parrat's side, from Thomas Percy of Gunpowder Plot fame. All very exciting!
I assume from some of the posts on here that George Samuel went on to have a family in Australia, to where he emigrated in 1853. I also found mention that he died on 6 May 1866 in Heathcote, Victoria.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who can fill in some of the gaps for me, including any siblings of George Samuel. I assume that he didn't make an honest woman of poor Susan because of her lowly social status, being the daughter of an agricultural labourer!
Ta ever so,
old Aytonian.
