Aha! I have discovered that only the second child (Henry, b. 1865 d.1871) is certain to be the child of Edward Busby. John Jones Myatt, the first...
OK, thank you- so Edward Busby must have died before the 1881 Census, then Emily before the 1891. Poor things.
I have this Edward Busby, birth record: GRO BUSBY, EDWARD CLARK GRO Reference: 1844 D Quarter in RUGBY Volume 16 Page 421 Father was Richard...
Thank you @janetbooth, I will investigate these clues.
That sounds good. Thank you @janetbooth. I will keep the birth of another Benjamin Jones I found in Vic BDM for 1849 in reserve- Reg. 16501/1849...
You wouldn't think 2 months hard labour would cause a son to change his surname! Maybe the Army was very strict about family misdemeanors as well...
So @janetbooth at least we have the correct family set-up for Benjamin. Thank you.
I found a burial record for Benjamin : 22 Jun 1901, Box Hill Cemetery, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia But haven't found anything that could be his...
I am trying to find the correct Benjamin Jones who was the father of the 2nd Railways Commissioner for the State of Victoria, Australia. I know...

Wow @MollyMay and @Chimp I am gob-smacked! You have given me a great Christmas present with all the details of these oddly elusive people! Have a...

It sounds to me as though the unfortunate Mr Wilde may have suffered a mental illness which made him peculiar and annoying. It's a wonder he...
They are very helpful in person but do not give help via the Internet. You could send in a good friend to talk to them, but it would need to be...
I keep a huge tree on the A-site, but I try to put in signals that some parts are dicey- like ROADWORKS, SPEC and DOUBT in the Suffix box, and...
This marriage suggests to me that Elizabeth Brooks is Ann Millward's sister who married a Mr Brooks: FS: 26 Jul 1824 • St Peter's Church,...
Thanks heaps @Chimp and @AnnB for your sleuthing. I think my brain had become completely addled with multiple Ebenezers and could not recover!
I scrounged those two as well- this family seems so disconnected on paper!
I was hoping a Hannah would make herself known- but only found those 2 marriages for Millwards. The whole family is very suss at the beginning of...
Thanks for digging all this up for me! Were there two Ebenezers? Or 3- the Roof slater, the Coach-maker and the Assurance agent? And the family...
