I had that thought too but there's nothing showing - I even did a search with no surname!

Because she gave her son the middle name Moore I did wonder if he was the Father and was perhaps using that name.

Frustrating! I can see various census and her baptism, and death registration, but cannot see her in 1851 :-(

Strange isn't it? I wonder if she left the family home because of the birth of first child out of wedlock.

I have been looking for:

Charlotte A Bush b. 1824 in Greenwich.

I have her and her children in every census apart from the two above.

In 1847 she had a son, Edwin Moore Bush and was unmarried.

By 1871 she also had Emily b. 1853 and Henry b. 1859 and was still unmarried.

All addresses were in Greenwich.

Could somebody please try to find her in the missing years?

All help really appreciated, thanks.

Sue
