Perhaps she wanted it to look that way socially-with a male boarder etc.(you have to interpret the situation sometimes).....the age given is only 3 years out and the birth is in the exact same area-its an unusual name. On top of that there was actually only one marriage to a Jetsum in the period 1878-1891 (from her being 16ish to this census)covering london and kent. and it reads .... Sibbila (!!!!!!!) Jane Harmsworth George Henry Jetsum.........june 1888 ..st geo sq 1a 676 a this is her mistranscribed or she lied on the census. |

I think you can discount that marriage as there is a Sibella Harmsworth on previous census Sibella J Harmsworth abt 1853 Charing, Kent, England Servant Sevenoaks Kent and I think your previous message should have read ....there was actually only one marriage to a Jetsum ON FREEBMD in the period 1878-1891 (unless of course you have checked the complete images!!) |

yes that one doesnt check out-she was born with that name- well i trawled ancestry,free bmd.and IGI........and I cant find any evidence that selina got married despite what the census says ,and if that is her born in the 1860-same area -deptford as stated-then lying about her age and hermarital status wouldnt be unheard of.........not only that the marriage of her parents isnt that forth coming either..... !!!...the only missing search is a 1837 search round about 1883-1884....some still in the old script may have been mislaid or not transcribed........... |

Have now searched the complete pages visually -marriages from 1882-1886- not a sniff-none with that surname at all-more jesters !! |

Sorry Alter Ego - I hope you didn´t think I was jesting - if you did I apologise. I was just pointing out that your statement was slightly misleading! |
