Worcestershire / 1891 lookup please
« on: Friday 17 October 08 20:42 BST (UK)  »
Hi, could sks please have a look on the 1891 census for Jane Paget and Jane Bullock. I'm trying to sort out the maiden name of a wife and the birth cert for a son says Paget whereas a possible marriage on the indexes says Bullock. On the 1901 census Jane is 20 and born in Tewkesbury.

The first child of the marriage was born in Shifnal, Shropshire.

Thanks

My logic is that my g-g-grandmother had a daughter, was widowed, remarried then had another family - explaining the gap in the ages of the children. That would put the photo at c 1902. G-g-grandmother would be 29, the older girl 10.

On the 1901 census the family are living near Newport in Shropshire - it looks like Newport on the card to me.

If the photo is early 1890s then I'd be looking at a generation back, but there's no convenient gaps between children ... not sure whether there's any basis in fact for this but it doesn't strike me as likely that a woman would have a photo taken with two randomly chosen children...

Thanks all,

Interesting date - my suspicion is that it was taken about 1902 or 1904, as the young child looks about 1. The elder child would then be his/her step-sister, aged either 9 or 11. I don't know whether the younger child is my grandfather or his sister.

Any other ideas?

Sorry if this is an obvious question ... am I right in thinking that Wolverhampton civil records aren't included on either the West Mids BMD or the Staffs BMD? Or have I just missed them...

Hi. could someone help me by trying to date this picture please?

I'd also be interested in your opinions as to whether the baby is a boy or girl!

Thanks

Thanks very much - that's her, she's living in the same house as 10 years earlier.

I take it that no-one can find her in 1901? I'll assume I've got the right death...
