Hi folks
I'd appreciate someone helping me to work out what OH's g-g-grandmother was up to between 1891 and 1911, please
Annie Elizabeth Strathdee married William Ogilvie, a chemist's assistant, 4 Feb 1880 at St Peter's South Kensington.
They had three children: Mary Ann, Maud and William.
William Ogilvie died 14 Dec 1888.
In the 1891 census, Annie is visiting the Kensington home of a William FENTON, who is a Chemist (RG12/30/142/25). (The children are with their Strathdee grandparents in Brompton).
In 1901, Annie seems to have remarried (although her husband is not home on census night) and her new surname is FELTON (RG13/51/35/17). Her daughter Maud and son William are with her, with the Ogilvie surname.
I wondered whether there was any link between the Fenton and Felton names, and have found a listing for William FELTON under "Chemists and Druggists" in the 1895 London PO Directory.
I also wondered whether the William Fenton she was visiting in 1891 had been widowed, and they got married, but in 1901 William Fenton is still married to his wife Emmeline (RG13/523/82/59).
In 1911, Annie is back to using the surname Ogilvie, and is living with her daughter Mary Ann (who married George Francis) and family at 9 South Street, Hammersmith.
Obviously I have checked FreeBMD, London marriages, FreeReg and the BMD indexes for a marriage between an Ogilvie (or a Strathdee) and a Felton, with no luck.
Any ideas, please?
Many thanks from a very wet NSW
