Janetta Pansy Glendora Banfield

[keyboard86]

Hi all, the bit that keeps puzzling me IF this family is a link to Janetta is why they stick to Chelsea/Fulham,  but not Janetta from c 1872 to 1891 decides to  go to Devon, possibly a Servant? Ada married a Joseph Gosling

I think we still need as much info as pos from her marriage cert. Witnesses, addresses, occupations etc.
Something might suggest this family is a possible, or that it is unlikely.

[groom]

It does seem strange, usually the move was the other way wasn't it, in to a large town for work?  Unless she worked as a servant for a family in London, who also had a house in Devon and she went there with them.

I hope that the OP knows how to get back to this thread, I see she logged in earlier but hasn't commented to say if she thinks we are on the right track.

[lizdb]

Ruth2200 - that summary is really helpful.
Just to add to it, Horace marries Lucy Askew in Oct/Nov/Dec 1892, Paddington

(Hmmm, he seems to have wife called Caroline inn1891 census, but I cant see that marriage)

[rutht22000]

Children for Charles & Janetta:

Charles Howard Nelson born Bideford, 1892
Edgar John born Bideford, 1895
May Conway born Kingsnympton, 1901
Stanley born Kingsnympton, 1903
Ronald born Chumleigh (?), 1907
Winifred born Moreton Hampstead, 1910

+2 deceased

none of whom's names connect us back to any of that family on the face of it....

[groom]

Looking at Ruth's summary the children don't seem that sure of William's occupation - some give him as a labourer and others as a Policeman.

[lizdb]

But he flits betweeen labourer and policeman on the christenings too.

(Actually I think there are only 2 chr to be found, and one is policeman and one is labourer)

I get the impression he was only actually in the police for a short time, but that was the "career" that stuck in the mind of some of the children.
