  •  

  • 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 39-40)

  • Tiverton, Devon6

  •  

  • 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.
