Hi
I have just started to help my friend research her family & we have already run into problems.
Her maternal grandfather was William Pusser born 1882 Camberwell, died 1945 Bermondsey. William married at Peckham in 1907 giving his father as Frederick Charles Pusser deceased.
We believe William had a brother Frederick Charles Pusser born 2nd June 1877 Camberwell, died 1917 Camberwell. Frederick married at Walworth in 1904 giving his father as Frederick Charles Pusser, not noted as deceased.
The obvious person to be the father of both William & Frederick is Frederick Charles Pusser born 1854 Camberwell, died 1890 Camberwell.
I thought I had found a marriage for Frederick senior in 1877 to Lizzie Wright but the image on Ancestry is only for banns of marriage & Pusser has been transcribed as Passer. There doesn’t seem to be a corresponding marriage in the index.
Moving on to the census & starting with Frederick Charles Pusser senior (1854) I can only find him in 1861 when he was with his parents. No luck finding him in 1871 & 1881.
Frederick Charles Pusser junior (1877) is listed as the nephew of Walter Wright (age 21 single) in the 1881 census at Camberwell. The only other occupant is Eliza Wright age 20, also single, sister of Walter. So was she Lizzie Wright from the marriage banns & was she Frederick’s mother?
Frederick, junior doesn’t appear on the census again until 1911.
I can’t find William Pusser (1882) in 1891 or 1901 but he is on the 1911 census.
Any help with any of the above will be much appreciated.
