research for a friend so no updates to BK6
I think I've posted this before elsewhere, but am having another go......
Louisa Moran married Edward Varney in Feb 1871 at St Mary's Newington.
1871 no children
1881 children:
Edwin 9
Mary Betsy 8
William J 5
Eli George 3
1891 children:
Edwin and Eli as above, plus:
Grace Maud 7
Daisy 5
Up to there all is straightforward......
1901 children:
Grace 18 and Daisy 15 as above, plus:
Violet 4
The only birth reg which fits this Violet is this one:
Births Mar 1897
Varney Violet Gladys W. Ham 4a 28
But this is what's on the 1911:
Edward Varney was in an institution and died soon after the census.
Louisa wrote that she had been married 40 years (correct) and that she had four children, all living.
Then there are four daughters listed, so I would presume she misunderstood the question. However, these are the details given:
Daisy Varney 20 (she should be 25 according to both prev censuses, but I can't find a birth reg for her - should be West Ham - born Stratford, Essex on all censuses.)
May Varney 18 (don't know who this is, but a great-niece of this family remembers a great-auntie May, but unfortunately she has another great-auntie May and she doesn't know who she remembers, if that makes sense!)
Violet Varney 16 (is this Violet Gladys?)
Gladys Varney 14 (or is this Violet Gladys?)
So is she in a complete muddle or have I missed something? I can't find a death or a marriage for Violet Gladys Varney
