The marriage is a lot earlier that I had first thought. So I expect there would be older siblings. Hopefully someone can find them on the 1841 for you up in Bath!

Just found another Lambeth birth:

Births Mar 1849
BURNISTON Ursula Ruth Lambeth 4 295

Its such a rare name in London, I would be tempted to buy the cert.

Selena

PS Can anyone find Ursula on a cenus?

Laura

Laura Report 10 Jan 2008 20:17

It was the 1871 census Julie, yes I saw that birth but obv with no census info I cant say if that is her or not, I do really appreciate you looking, thank you! xx

Julie

Julie Report 10 Jan 2008 20:13

I can't remember which census you found the girls in Ealing

Laura

Laura Report 10 Jan 2008 19:44

WELL.

I said i'd tell you what the birth cert for Beatrice says, so this is what I got from that:

Born on 20th May 1858 at 3am: BEATRICE BURNISTON (twin).
address: 1 Sidwell place, Lambeth

Father: WILLIAM HENRY BURNISTON, occ: Ostler.

mother: ELIZA SOPHIA BURNISTON formerly BARFOOT.

guess what? cant find a marriage for William and Eliza, cant find them on 1861 or 1871 census either, so I'm no further at all really! would be grateful if some lovely person could please help me? im really going bonkers now lol.

ok thanks Julie! xxx

Laura Report 7 Jan 2008 19:50

sorry wendy I think u posted on wrong thread!!

no, no earlier children as far as im aware. the 1891 census looks doubtful now as Julie found a marriage for a betsy and Edward, and that Betsy definitely isnt mine! so really I only have the 1901 to go by.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
lol.
Thanks for looking guys, Selena you're a sweetheart! xx
