Thank you

There were 2 born Easthampstead ,one 1887 and one 1889.

I think the one 1889 is in the workhouse and the daughter of Elizabeth on 1891 census.
She can also be found in 1911.

So it looks like the 1st one you posted,who is on 1891 census with Charlotte and 1901 down as Ada/Rosa but where is she in 1911.

The district Headington spans the boundaries of the counties of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire

Struggling to find a matching couple in the 1911.

Well maybe that one, I am now thinking that this is the one in the workhouse in 1901.

Births Sep 1889 Goodchild Edith Mary Easthampstead 2c 423


EDIT

I have looked for Edith Mary Goodchild born 1887 on the 1891 census and I don't see her or a death for her. So, I am thinking that Edith was Charlotte's child born before she was with James?


The only way to be sure is to buy the certificate.

No not the one above - she is on the 1891 census with her mother Elizabeth and sister Emily. In 1901 Edith and Emily are in the workhouse.

Anybody found Edith may's birth.

Death 1919 in Easthamstead brkshire.
Edith M Bushnall born @ 1891?

1901 is she down as Ada on Ancestry census or Rosa as on above one for 1901.

I can't find her in 1911.

The 1911 is interesting where it says how long she'd been married, on the original it looks like the 25 was crossed out and replaced with 21, even though she'd been married to William for 10. (She'd had 10 children, 9 surviving):

KISLINGBURY, William Moses Head Married M 42 1869 Labourer Pig Feeder East Hilley
KISLINGBURY, Charlotte Wife Married 25 years F 44 1867 Winkfield
BUSHWELL, James Alfred George Son Single M 19 1892 Brickfield Labourer Wanlage
BUSHWELL, Frederick John Son Single M 16 1895 House Boy Clever Windsor

There is a tree on Ancestry that states James married Charlotte Susan Goodchild in 1883. Only problem is, the marriage citation they've attached is that we've posted above and, as we know, there's no Charlotte on there (don't people check stuff?!).

It states she then married a William Moses Kislingbury in 1901.

The birth certificate of James will give you Charlotte's maiden surname

Births Mar 1891 BUSHNELL James Alfred G Wantage 2c 300

MarieCeleste Report 4 Sep 2011 11:49

My hunch is that James married Ellen Emily Smith, based on this:

Deaths Jun 1889
Bushnell Ellen Emily 24 Bradfield 2c 183

Quite likely that Edith was his daughter with Ellen, and the other children with Charlotte (they may never have formally married).

You really need to get some birth certificates to check this out.

Household NORRIS, Charlotte 1867 14 F Windsor Berkshire

Edith was born 1888 Bracknall, and James was born 1891 Sparsholt. I can find them in the 1891 census living in Berkshire.
