Question:

Florence Emily Gascoyne born 1888 in Kempston Bedfordshire family tree?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hello Liam,
I found your family tree for the Gascoyne's on Ancestry so guess that you have found the family on the 1891 and 1901 census.

Did a census search myself for the family, and found the following, hope it helps -
1881 - transcribed as Gascoign
Kempston, Bedfordshire - Dist 14
Joseph Gascoign - head - m - 36 - Wheelwright - Stoney Stratford, Bucks
Mary A - wife - 24 - Lacemaker - Kempston Beds
Thomas - son - 8 - Sch - Kempston, Beds
George - son - 7 - Kempston Beds
Charles - son - 5 - Kempston Beds
Mary - dau - 3 - Kempston Beds
William - son - 1 - Kempston Beds

As you can see the age is slightly out, could be a mistranscribe from the original census form, as he could have put down age as 30.

1871 - (surname written as below)
Kempston Beds, Dist 14 (page 14)
High Street
Joseph Gascoigne - boarder - 21 - Wheelwright - Goldington Bucks
Living in household of what looks like Titus Cherry age 46 - Victualler and Wheelwright - born Beds

This is the nearest I could find for 1871.

1861
Stony Stratford, St Mary Magdalen, Bucks - Dist 14 (page22)
Alley (household Sched 10)
Mary Gascoyne - head - widow - 52 - Lacemaker - Stony Stratford, Bucks
Henry - son - 24 - Labourer - Stony Stratford Bucks
Joseph - son - 11 - Scholar - Stony Stratford Bucks

1851
Wolverton, Bucks - Dist 9b
Top of the page - address quite difficult to decipher
John Gascoyne - 52 - Labourer - Stony Stratford, Bucks
Mary - wife - 45 - Stony Stratford Bucks
Elizabeth French (looks like) - dau - 19 - Stony Stratford
Jane ditto - dau - 17 - Stony Stratford
John ditto - son - 16 - Iron Moulder - ? Marston
Henry Gascoyne - son - 14 - ? Marston
Alice - ditto - dau - 8 - Stony Stratford
Joseph ditto - son - 1 - ? Wolv

1841
Wolverton Bucks - Dist 18
Address looks like - Station
John Gascoyne - 46 - Labourer - Bucks
Ellen - 39 - Bucks
Edwin - 12 - Bucks
Ann - 8 - Bucks
Mary - 6 - Bucks
Henry - 4 - Bucks
Elizbth - 1 - Bucks

Cannot say for certain that this is the family you are looking for, so you do need to research the above to prove it. It fits for me, even though some of the places of birth vary as do ages, quite common, but you have to weigh up all the info contained in the census details. You can download the pages from Ancestry, as you probably already know.

Next you could try the IGI (International Genealogy Index) on - www.familysearch.com, also - www.freebmd.org.uk and of course Ancestry.co.uk, who have all the bmd registrations from 1837 onwards, and some for before but not all. What I found, should they be the right family, should help you on your way. You can order certificates from - www.gro.gov.uk - for any bmd from end of 1837 onwards, to help you prove the family.

Hope this helps.
