Help to trace Frederica Headland

[jbj63]

Hi everyone

I've just come back to my family tree.

I am having trouble tracing Frederica Headland.  She was born abt. 1821  in Wroughton, Wiltshire.  Parents Robert and Esther Headland.

I have her baptism and 1841 where she is with her father and his 2nd wife Susannah and in 1851 where she is with her widowed father Robert.  After that she seems to disappear with the rest of the family (except for Robert who dies in 1866).

Can anyone see anything further on this family?

Could this be her in 1891 living with widowed Sister Eliza in Bloomsbury St. George, London:
She listed as a housekeeper and a widow.

This actually looks promising.  Frederica had a half sister called Sarah Eliza Headland and she went on to marry James Clare in 1877 in Westminster, London.  So the name could be Clare not Clara.

Sarah and James had two children (that I have found so far) called Susannah Frederica Clare born 1878 in Pancras and Robert George Headland born 1880 aslso Pancras.

Just checked and Sarah Eliza and James Clare also had a daughter called Nellie Maud Clare born 1882 St. Giles.  So that census matches.

That's a positive then...still looking for a marriage.

Sarah and James had two children (that I have found so far) called Susannah Frederica Clare born 1878 in Pancras and Robert George Headland born 1880 aslso Pancras.

It would appear that they had another child - Nelly M Clare

That's interesting.  They all seem to have some involvement with the theatre.

I can't find her anywhere between 1851 and 1891...using Frederica with no surname, and correct date and place of birth found her in 1891
No matches on Familysearch of Freebmd for a marriage...
Tried surname Farrent/Ferrant date and place of birth with no Christian name and this was the only one and it doesn't match

NAME:    John Farrant
SPOUSE:    Jane Farrant
BIRTH:    abt 1822 - Tidworth, Wiltshire, England
RESIDENCE:    1881 - Limehouse, London, England

I wonder if she emigrated then came back when she lost her husband?
