you find the answer for yourself? (But it then leads to another!)
I've spent all evening baffled by the fates of Ursula & Asenath Meadus. Baptised in Corfe Mullen, Dorset in the 1790s.
I was beginning to think they'd been buried as infants, but no, they are both in Southampton (both of course dying before 1851)
Asenath is in prison, Ursula head of a household that includes James Medus, Mary & baby Maria.
James Medus marries Mary Ann Bailey in 1840. Marriage is on family search, showing his father as James Medus.
This is a distant twiglet, so I shan't be getting Ursula's death certificate.
I'm blowed if I can find a suitable James Medus senior. He ought to be a brother to Ursula & Asenath, but I do wonder if Ursula was James's mother. Aunts don't usually head households!
