Notes:
* The marriage register does not mention 'father deaceased'. However, this would seem to be Eliza age 23 in 1881, lvg with Sarah Ann TILBURY Widow. **James TILBURY age 53 m. Sarah Hannah BUSBY 1855; (1855 - 53 = 1802). James must have died between March 1867 (daughter Rose b. c.1868) and 2nd (Census) week April 1881. PRO register has: James TILBURY d. 3Q 1874 age 72; (1802 + 72 = 1874). |
