Can anyone help me make sense of this please?
I have Rosetta Godfrey b1828 married to John Doeg Linscott b1827
They have several children. (Blanche being one of them also)
The ones of interest and confusion here are:
Charlotte Webb Linscott b1851 marries William Richard Harry Purchase
Ann Rebecca Linscott b185 marries Richard Barber Walker Purchase
Then in 1881 she appears at an address which has been consistent with them, 220 Old Kent Road,same Professions etc, but she (Rosetta) appears as Mother in Law to Rosetta Purchase?
This is the first time a daughter named Rosetta has appeared, but I am unable to find any other record or mention of her. Charlotte has been trancribed as Charlotta a couple of times but I have double checked all those and I dont think its her.......But I also cannot find Charlotte in an 1881 census, so I am thinking:
a) Either Charlotte and Rosetta are the same person and the Census taker was even more confused than I am
b) Charlotte and Husband were not in the UK at that time
c) Rosetta Jnr lived elsewhere as a child
I cannot find her anywhere or another Purchase that married her? I have been through all my 'Purchases' and I dont think there is another one.
And how can she be Mother in Law to a son called Purchase?
I haven't worked out the Grandchildren and niece yet either, trying to do that now to see if it makes a connection any easier to find.
Heeellpppp!!
Many thanks
