James Albert baptism (I think this is the child in the workhouse with his father 1891)

Name: James Albert Bush
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 2 Jul 1886
Baptism Place: St. George-Brandon Hill, Bristol, Gloucester, England
Father: Stephen William Bush
Mother: Sarah Ann
FHL Film Number: 1596352
Reference ID: item 5 p 202

The children in the workhouse in 1891 were too young to be on the 1881. They were born between 81 & 91

just a thought it says that Florence and Charles were his children but on the 1881 census he has Stephen age 6 George age 5 Alfred age 3 henry age 0 no Florence or Charles

It is terribly sad, it seems after the Mum died the whole family fell apart. It makes it hard work to follow Alfred's siblings through the census too.

oh no that is so sad :-( :-(

how sad :-(

Rose's father had a tough life by the looks of things- his mother died in 1890:

Name: Sarah Ann Bush
Estimated birth year: abt 1854
Registration Year: 1890
Registration Quarter: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 36
Registration district: Bristol
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 6a Page: 26

This looks like the baptism for the youngest sibling of Alfred:

Name: Charles Edward Bush
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 2 Aug 1889
Baptism Place: St. George-Brandon Hill, Bristol, Gloucester, England
Father: Stephen William Bush
Mother: Sarah Ann
FHL Film Number: 1596352
Reference ID: item 5 p 237

After Alfred's Mum died his father struggled to keep the family together. William Stephen, was charged in 1892 with leaving his youngest three children chargeable to Bristol Union. Here he is with those children in 1891 in the Workhouse:

Civil Parish: Stapleton
Ecclesiastical parish: Fishponds

Western Daily Press - Friday 06 March 1891

BRISTOL POLICE COURT
NEGLECT OF CHILDREN- William Bush, a labourer was charged with leaving his three children chargeable to the Bristol Union. The evidence proved that Bush who had been in the employ of the Bristol Gas Company and was a widower.

Hi Mary this Albert Henry can not be the same as I have on the census 1911 because he was born 1909 not 1908 if if was a mistake in dates on the census he would born the same year as his sister Florence as she was born in 1908

Albert Henry 31/12/1908 christened 20/1/1909 died 1981.
He married 1938 Annis louisa Burley

Annis l Burley born 1914 mum nee ( Hale) she died 2001.

Maryb.

every thing is falling in to place now only thing I don't understand is on the 1911 census it shows ALBERT HENRY BUSH AGE 2 not sure who he is or where he fits in to ROSES tree is this her brother?? did he die young like violets twin ??

oh thank you Austin this is great news you have helped me so much

Alfred was living with his family in 1881 in Lower Lamb Street- so I think this article refers to him:

Bristol Mercury - Monday 11 April 1881

A NARROW ESCAPE
Whilst PC Lear was on duty at the river police station, Price Street Bridge, he heard the cries of a child. On going to the spot he discovered that a boy, named Alfred Bush, aged three years, living in Lamb Street, St Augustine's, had accidentally fallen into the water from a landing stage. The constable went down to the stage and dragged the child out of the water as he was sinking. He was apparently uninjured by the immersion.

OH this is sad,

Violet was a twin, sister Lily died aged only one.

There are quite a few people on Ancestry following Rose's family- but most of them have the wrong parents for Alfred- it looks as though they've all copied each other.

ahh bless her :-)
