Louisa and George Biddlecombe in 1871

[cmcmull]

This is just a longshot also but could this be Louisa in 1881 living at  Rose Bank Villa in Yateley Hampshire
Louisa BIDDLE     widow age       44   born    London,
 James R.W. BIDDLE   son  age      23  born    Simla BS, East Indies      
 Beatrice M. BIDDLE   Daur  age    18     born  St Ives, Huntingdon,      
 Lilian C. BIDDLE      Daur  age    14     born  Yateley, Huntingdon,     

Problem with this is James born before 1860 when they married and George was a bachelor on marriage then.  I have found births for Beatrice and Lillian on Free BMD but can't find anything on familysearch.
Looking at Ancestry Index that family with Louisa spelt Louisia maybe in Hampshire in 1871 so can someone look that up and see if it gives any more info such as father's name to prove or disprove. I can't find a George on that index in Hampshire so it may be incorrect family.
Thanks Carmel

I have info on scores of Biddlecombes on Isle of Wight and US if you are interested.

Thanks all for your input,
                                       
LTSally, I've assumed now that George was from Blackwater in Hants rather than Blackburn in Lancs. It's a very Hampshire name.

By coincidence, I live in Hants, and the local newsagent was called 'Biddles', til it closed down.

Carmel, you may be right with the Yately based family. Earlier, I was researching a George Biddlecombe from Fordingbridge in Hampshire who was in the army. James being born in Simla would point to this and explain their absence from some census'.

Glenn if you have any info on George and Louisa (née Packer), I would love to hear it. All Louisa's birth details are earlier in the thread.

Mollyboy - I am supposed to have all Biddlecombe's with vitals on IoW, but only have one George, b 22 Dec 1860, who married an Alice bet 1895 and 1905.

Thought I'd throw this in the ring to add to the confusion
My 3GGF is the Joseph Packer at Boston Place. On the 1851 census he is shown as a silk weaver but there is a David Packer b Reading aged 32 (so b 1819 ish)  as Visitor , trade -weaver. I can't find him before or after. Does he show in anyone elses tree?  He presumably is a nephew, as Joseph was married and in Marylebone by 1817. Pete

Aha - now if Molloyboy has the Holborn marriage cert and can confirm what her dad's name and occupation are, then we may be on to something.

If her dad is Joseph, a silk weaver, then here is her family in 1851 and ... she is called Eliza Louisa here.

Joseph Packer 56 Silk weaver bn Reading Berks
Elizabeth 52 bn middx St George
Henry Alonzo Stewart Packer 13 son bn Marylebone
Eliza Louisa Packer 11 bn Marylebone
David Packer 32 visitor bn Berks Reading

and her birth is
Jan/Feb/MAr 1840
Eliza Louisa Packer
Marylebone 1 181

(and out of interest, brother's birth is
Jan/Feb/Mar 1838
Henry Alonzo Stewart Packer
Bethnal Green 2  217)

Just picked this up trawling the web.
I think there is some confusion over Josephs  The one shown on this posting comes from a line of Packers from Reading/Newbury with silk trade links, no Kent or basket making links. Eliza (sometimes Elizabeth ) Loiuise was b Marylebone 4/2/40, bapt St Marys  Marylebone 4/6/1840. She married Hy  Epton b abt 1845 Lopen Somerset at St Philips Lambeth 15/4/1869 . She has 3 children Walter Hy Packer b Marylebone 29/9/1867 no father shown on bapt cert but by 1871 he is listed as Epton, Frederick Joseph Epton b 5/7/71  Chelsea, Frances Elizabeth b Chelsea 29/6/78 Marylebone with death registered shortly after. Open to any disputes on this but I'm happy with the ascendents / descendants af this famly. I've tried long and hard to find a connection to the Kent Packers with out success other than my GF moving to Sheerness in the early 1900s apparently to find work. There seem to be no links to the other Packers in Sheerness censused in the 1871 or 81 or to the Sittingbourne lot who are again basket makers
