Elder son, Alfred, is living next door with wife, Mary.

I can't find George anywhere.

I've tried George under Burdon, Burtton, Burton & Button for birth & death & census with no luck.

1881 has him born in Whepstead.

Ozi.

Bottisham's nearest registry point for BMD would be newmarket.

Wonder what happened to George?

Sister? Nellie is short for Ellen.

Ozibird - what a find! Well done.

& Nellie?

Can I just ask, where does the name Oakley come into it?

Aha! This has got to be Bosham Loa

"LODE, formerly Bottisham Lode (which includes Long-meadow and Fen), was separated from Bottisham by an Order of the Local Government Board, in November, 1894, and formed into a civil parish. It is a village on the Cambridge and Newmarket road, .......... and is 6 miles east from Cambridge ....

from Genuki website

Looking at 1901 for Ben & Annie I'm sure that Annie is born Botisham [Loe??}, not Bosham.

Wow, thanks for all of your interest! To answer a few questions, on her marriage certificate it says that her father is William Burdon, of Houghton Regis who is deceased. That was in 18 Apr 1898 in Eversholt.

Glitter baby and sam from stoke have the records that match with mine, but I have no trace of her life before this, including her mother's name. Her younger sister was a spinster and only known as nellie by family who are still alive. I have no trace in records of her either but i think she died in Eversholt.

The names that I have in the title are all names which familiy members believed to be her sunames!

I have no dates for the murder other than it was between Nellie's birth and Anna's wedding.
