● one tree on Ancestry gives her date of baptism as 27 JUL 1804, but no source is given, and no record has been found online

● so perhaps whoever reported their deaths, presumably one of their children didn’t know their exact ages

● the family, after having lived in various parts of the London area, judging from the children’s baptisms, moved to Wolverhampton, Staffordshire sometime between the 1851 and 1861 census

● the marriage certificate gives Barbara’s father as William Bilboe, grocer

● as her father, William II, cannot be found in the 1841 census, it must be assumed that he was already dead, although he would only have been about 65 years old, so it is not possible to check whether he was a grocer

● neither can Barbara herself be found in the 1841 census

● the movements and occupations of her brother William IV around London are of no help

● as St Marylebone would seem a strange place for a female born in Shorne, Kent, to get married, perhaps she was, at the age of 34, in service in that area

● a witness at the marriage was an Emily Bilboe – as far as can be seen, Barbara had no sisters of that name – she did however have a niece of that name, her brother William IV’s daughter, who would have been 22 at the time, if still alive

● unfortunately, George and Barbara Lanham cannot be found in any later census records

● however, it is unlikely that there would be more than one Barbara Bilboe daughter of William Bilboe

● in census records she variously gives her place of birth as Paddington, Middx, Southwark, Surrey, and London

● members of the Pratt family became Earls and later Marquesses of Camden, and it would appear that several Pratt families have adopted Camden as a middle name, without there being a clear connection between them and the former

● a correspondent advises: “A John Pratt, born about 1520 in Devonshire, had a 5th son who produced the famous Pratts of Camden, Earls and now Marquesses. My mother was from another son, male descendants of her line adopting Camden as a middle name in the 19th century. I studied the Camden Pratts of London and Wolverhampton as probable kin, but never managed to connect to them, or connect them back to Devon.”

● it has not been possible to find William in the 1861 census

● in other census records he variously gives his place of birth as Southwark, Surrey, Lambeth, Surrey, and London

● in the 1871 census he is shown as “married”, but no wife is present

● likewise is has not been possible to find all his children, ie. any born between 1856 and the ones listed below, who appear in the 1871 census – it is possible, for example, that William VI (see below) was also one of his sons

● there are no births in the online records for Bilboe children 1856-68 other than for those of William’s relatives

● the mother’s maiden name for all the children below was Davies: there are no births in the online records for Bilboe children, mother’s maiden name Chantler or Berry

● there are 2 online baptism records for Herbert Charles, one showing his mother as Mary Ann (but no original image), one as Charlotte, so the former might be incorrect

● the online baptism record for Emily Christina shows her mother as Charlotte

● Alfred has not been found in the 1911 census – his wife was living with her mother, status “married”, together with 1 of their daughters, while the other was with Alfred’s mother

● nor can any death in the UK be found for him

● an Alfred Bilboe born about 1877 (Alfred was born in Q2 1878) died in 1948 in Saskatchewan, Canada

● an Alfred Bilboe was listed in the 1916 Saskatchewan, Canada census, head, age 38 (so born about 1878), single, born in England, nationality Canadian, farmer, at the same address as an Alvin E. Bilboe, also head, age 31 (so born about 1885), married, also born in England, nationality Canadian, farmer

● an Alfred Bilboe travelled – emigrated? - to Canada in 1906, age 29 (so born about 1877), occupation variously given as “baker”, “confectioner” (Alfred’s occupation in the 1901 census was “railway porter”)

● so this might be Alfred Bilboe I, and the “Alvin E.” in the 1916 census really be his nephew Albert Edward Bilboe (born 1888)?

● neither can be found in the 1911 Canadian census

● but an Alfred Bilboe, born about 1877 in England, is in the 1921 Canadian census, still in Saskatchewan, with wife Elizabeth R., along with a Harry E. Jones, “son”[?], born about 1910, and 2 Bilboe children, born about 1917 and 1919

● Albert Edward Bilboe and Howard Samuel Brooks are living next door

● Alfred and Elizabeth are still found in Saskatchewan in the 1935 electoral register, Alfred’s occupation “RCMP” [Royal Canadian Mounted Polce]

● they are also found in Saskatchewan in the 1953 electoral register, Alfred’s occupation now “civil servant” but this MAY be the son, Alfred W(illiam) Bilboe, living with his widowed mother, if Alfred himself died in 1948 – in the 1957 electoral register only “Alfred W.” appears

● a gravestone inscription in Saskatchewan reads “Dad Alfred 1877-1948” and “Mom Elizabeth 1884-1977

● the only other Alfred Bilboe found so far is William Bilboe VI’s son, Alfred II, born Q2 1881, Dudley, Staffs R/D, died Q3 1924, Llanfyllin, Montgomeryshire, Wales R/D, who was already living in Wales in 1911

● no divorce records have been found for an Alfred Bilboe

● so, unless there is a flaw in the above reasoning, it looks very much as though Alfred left his wife, emigrated to Canada, and remarried, if he married at all, about 1916-7

● nothing more is known about Mary Elizabeth Pickin or Elizabeth R.

● information about William and his parents is hard to find:

● no birth record can be found

● he cannot be found in the 1861 census, and neither can William V

● in the 1871 census he is living with his grandfather, William Bilboe IV

●in the 1871 census William V is shown as married, but no wife is present, so he MAY already have been a widower, which would explain the boy’s living/staying with his grandfather

● on the other hand, Matilda is still living at home, so the boy could just be her son – but in the 1861 census Matilda is living away from home as a servant, and the boy is not with her father, William IV, as he presumably should be

● in the 1881 census he is a soldier in military service
