3 Heathcoat Square, Tiverton, Devon9
The Household consisted of Anne Marie and her son Alfred.
Death:
1912 (age 72-73)
Tiverton, Devon10
||Her death was registered in the third quarter of 1912 and her age was given as 72. It is of interest that whoever registered her death - most probably her son Alfred who was living with her - gave her name as Hannah Maria so he was probably using her Marriage Certificate rather than any evidence of birth.
Spouse:
Marriage:
11 May 1874 (age 34)
Address: Waterloo Road, Surrey
Emily was probably the groom's sister but the relationship of John Durrent to the couple is unknown. Who else was there is not known but probably the groom's parents attended. The bride's father was dead and her mother lived in Tiverton, Devon, and it was almost certainly too far and too expensive for her to travel to London.
Census for household:
3 Apr 1881 (age 41)
Tiverton, Devon13
Address: Bampton Street
The household consisted of James, his wife Hannah, their three children Charles (age 5), Alice (age 2) and Alfred (age 1), and a nursemaid Bessie Hewett who was only 14. James is shown as a grocer and if it was his own business his wife probably helped him. Hence the need for a nurse to look after Alfred.
