Looking for Charlotte Austin
« on: Wednesday 20 March 24 15:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi  I am looking for Charlotte Austin born in 1853 Upton cum Chalvey, Buckinghamshire,  her parents were Willian Henry Austin and Jane.
I do know at some point Charlott or the family went to New Zealand.

Charlotte married Henry Butcher born 1854 Wallingford, Berkshire, now I have found Charlotte and Henry in New Zealand but I can not find a marriage there or in Engand

I have no idea when Charlotte or Henry left for NZ
If any one can help I would really appreciate it.
Kind regards Sue

Do you mean they are shown as husband and wife somewhere?

What is the last sighting of her in England?

If they had children when and where was the first one born?

She is 13yrs old on the 1871 census so born 1858 not 1853

EDIT

Ignore above - enumerator has put one of the slanting /  “counter figures” in front of the 3 making her 13 😡😡

Freebmd has a marriage in the Dec qtr 1871 Eton to either Henry Goddard or Reuben Gamble.  Have you already ruled it out?  Could the Butcher marriage be a second marriage?

I am assuming that this is the Charlotte to whom you refer?:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170715558/charlotte-butcher

Someone (OP?) has uploaded a copy of both her death certificate and her probate to her page:
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170715558/charlotte-butcher/photo

Her death certificate gives an estimated year of birth of 1854, but her parents are not listed; their names are left blank.

It states she was born and married (c.1873) in Exton, England and that she came to New Zealand in approximately 1873.

How do you know that she is the Charlotte baptised in 1853 in Upton cum Chalvey? Is there another document that has more information?

Re my reply 4 - have you already ruled out the 1871 marriage?  No Goddard/Austin children born up to 1880 which could indicate emigration

Hi
Sorry I didn’t get back to you I found Charlotte baptism on family search and I didn’t see the 1871 marriage .
I had not found the probate record that does confirm the names of her children I just could not find them when I checked the NZ births
It may be just me but it’s not as easy to find records in New Zealand, but thank you all for your help
Kind regards Sue
