It is all very confusing isn't it?
No Beatrice had no family in Australia. She entered Australia in 1928 on the SS Osterley as an experienced domestic emigrant, she was 20 years of age. She did say that times were very hard in England.

Thomas

Is there any reason that Beatrice went to Australia? Did she have family there............. is it possible that is where her father was?

I think you are right Jax. I feel sure that he is still alive in 1911 which is why Annie didn't marry Mr. Rutherford (Horace or Henry) whoever he might be. Quite frankly I don't think we are ever going to find out who he was with so little to go on.

I would say that was him above Astra...would'nt you?

Leyton and Plaistow are next to each other anyway

These are the baptisms of 6 of James and Catherine's children. The 7th one is Ernest born in 1870. James Thomas and John were baptised on the same day but there is no evidence to suggest that they were twins. I can find evidence of all of the other children in the census records except for John. Are we to assume therefore that the child who died as noted in the 1911 census is John. This would mean that James Thomas is still alive in 1911.

PM from Thomas

Hi Astra.
James Everitt was a Bricklayer.
On marriage certificate he was 37 in 1897 so he would have been born around.1860, his father was James Burfrey (this is what it looks like) Everitt also a bricklayer and they lived at 44 Liddington Road West Ham

Astra.

Beatrice birth certificate states that her father James Henry Rutherford occupation was engine fitter.

Tom

I am still trying to find out if James Everitt died before Annie took up with Horace/James

Ok so he was born 1860ish could you tell us his occupation and fathers name and occupation please

As I said Annie still says married in 1901 rather than widowed. Is there a reason why he should die in Billericay and his age alter by 3 years?

jax

You say that on the birth certificate of Beatrice the father is james H Rutherford. Is his occupation the same?

No it wasn't Horace it was James H but i couldn't find him after 1891


James H Rutherford
Age: 22
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869
Relation: Boarder
Gender: Male
Where born: Willesborough, Kent, England
Civil parish: Lower Bebington

Household Members: Name Age
John Robinson 34
Sarah E Robinson 29
James H Rutherford 22 >>>Fitter

Thanks Thomas.
I did find a Horace Rutherford who was noted as fitter on the census yesterday. Let me take another look.

Thank you all for your trouble.

I found a death of a James Everitt aged 43 in 1900 in Essex but his birth is different by a couple of years to what is on the marriage certificate which says that in 1897 he was 37 years of age.

Horace is listed on the certificates as being an Engine Fitter.

Sorry that I have no more information.

Until Thomas comes back I'm just adding these;

So Beatrice sadly died quite young in Australia;

Australia Death Index, 1787-1985

And whoever registered her death put James as her father.

She was still married in 1901 so perhaps she could not marry Horace?

Do you have any other details on James Everitt?
