Hi I wonder if someone can look up on the 1891 Census and find Augusta Charlotte Bashford AKA Augusta C Bashford of abt 1882 Kent and let me know who her parents are please .
I only know of her existence from the 1901 census when she's living with Edith Bashford the daughter of James and Rose Bashford Tonbridge Kent . RG13 piece 757 folio 79 page 3 .

It seems logical that she is Edith's younger sister (not that logic often comes in to genealogy!)
But I cant find the family in 1891. That is if James and Rose are still around then! But I cant find Edith (age 10 ish) and Augusta (age 8 ish) either. Grrr.
Getting teh birth cert would confirm. Or does she marry? A marriage cert might give James as a father?
-
These are the parents I believe to be her's who are from my tree .
I don't have Augusta in my Tree but I do know they also have a son William born 1885 aged 16 in the 1901 census so Augusta falls between Edith who I have in my tree and William who I only discovered recently .
James and rose Are in the 1901 census so they are around somewhere in 1891 :)
-
Edith was aged 4 months in 1881 census, here is her birth:
Oct/Nov/Dec 1880
Tonbridge ref 2a 608
Edith Alice Bashford
Augusta's birth I gave you before, Oct/Nov/Dec 1882
then there is:
Jul/Aug/Sep 1884
Tonbridge ref 2a 641
William James Bashford
There are other Bashfords around in this reg district around these dates, so you will need certs to prove that Edith, Augusta and William are from the same family.

Strange cannot find them in 1891
1901 as you know James Rose and William living 105 Shipbourne Road
and Augusta C and Edith A boarding at 59 Shipbourne Road with Yeabsley?? family.
To confirm her parents may have to send for Birth Cert.

Thanks everyone . I Think I have enough to say that she was the daughter of James & Rose. ;D
-
Sorry to disagree!! but I cant see any evidence that she is their daughter! She is with Edith in 1901, both as boarders in the same house, but she could be Edith's cousin, for example.
Obviously it is entirely up to you, but I wouldnt want to say who her parents were without the cert or some other evidence. Just a shame we cant get the family in 1891 all together. Or even all apart for that matter!
-
If I am to understand that Augusta's Father is named as James and Edith's father is James and they as you rightly point out are living together in the same road as James and rose .... there is some evidence . Also the only other Augusta Bashford Born the same year was from Tarring Sussex and that's not stated on the census for the girl living with Edith. As we cannot find the Family in the 1891 census I only have the fact that no other Augusta other than the one in Tarring who To my knowage is no relation falls within the right Area or time .
-
Augusta's Father is named as James
I must have missed this bit! Didnt know that we knew her father was named as James anywhere. That would certainly help.
-
I did some doube cheaking and have totaly discounted the Augusta from Sussex Tarring . Her Family can account for her in the 1901 census . ;D
-
Agreed - there is no reason to think she is anything to do with this group.
The Augusta with Edith is definitely the one born 1882 in Tonbridge area - never any hint she would be the one born in Tarring! though always best to double check!
"Your" Edith is born 1882 Tonbridge, cant be found 1891, and is boarding alongside Edith in 1901. Edith is a daughter of JAmes and Rose - she is with them as a baby in 1881.
But th eonly way to be sure Augusta is (or indeed isnt) their daughter too is to get her birth cert.
Unless you already have her marriage cert giving her father's name as James.(you say in last but one post, that I quoted last time, that you DO know her father is James - where did that come from? I can only think that you have marriage cert
