Lydia Marsh nee Bunday
C/o Glenn,update30/06/15

Hi Glenn

Do you have birth details, year, place etc....

Hi Gins,
I have very little info but possibly Portsmouth area,i think her mum was Lydia Marsh nee Bundy whose mum was Charlotte Bundy nee Durrell ,there may be variants on Bundy sir name,hope this helps and thankyou.

Are you related?

Glenn, you need to give an idea of when roughly we are looking at - it doesn't matter how vague, a couple of decades is fine!
Jan

have you found ( or looked for) any bmd records to back up your guesses?

Why didn't you give some dates?

And the (apparently) correct spelling of the surname

You can't be related, or you'd have known

Can you give us any clue as to roughly when she was born, please?

I can't see any birth of a Susan Marsh with mms Bundy/Bunday, in England/Wales/Ireland.
Nor can I see a marriage of a Lydia Bundy to anyone Marsh. [EDIT: but now I note the different spelling in the post above.]

you've also missed a generation

Or maybe that's Susan, Ricochet? Officially named Lydia, but known as Susan?
We still have no idea of when Glenn thinks Susan might have been born.

If that's Susan's mother, then was Susan's birth illegitimate? Was she born in 1956?

It's all guesswork, frankly

I didn't like to suggest illegitimacy as the lady is probably living

Hi Team,sorry everything is so vague,and possibly not that helpfull,but having a quick look at my very sketchy notes its possible that her mum Lydia was a daughter of Charlotte Bundy whose mum was also Charlotte Bundy nee Durrell and Susan would be a relative of my family .Does this make sense.
P.s Charlotte was 13 in 1901 census

This would probably be the marriage of the Lydia whose birth Ricochet posted, but I can't see the birth of any Susan Birch with mms Marsh. Three children of the marriage, but no Susan.

[EDIT: In which case, if that's the right Lydia, the Susan Marsh born 1956 can't be that Lydia's child.]

Your help as brought a little tear to my eyes so pleased for your help ,would be fantastic to find living relatives.

I will come back later with more info but any further help would be so welcomed.
Yours in success,
Glenn

So, you are going by the 1901 census for Charlotte (age 13) & her mother Charlotte - are you sure you are looking at the right family?

Lydia Charlotte A Bundy was born Q4/1887 registered Portsea. (Lydia on 1891 census) Her parents married in Q3/1887, registered Portsea - Richard Bunday and Charlotte Elizabeth Durrell.

Father is not with them in 1891 or 1901 - but mother states she was born Portsmouth in 1857 and is married.

Mother Charlotte has been mistranscribed on Ancestry as age 22, but she is claiming to be 50, married 24 years has had 5 children 3 are still living. 2 of the children are still with her - Ethel & Mabel - so was it Lydia Charlotte or Evelyn/Evalina that has died.

Still no sign of her husband!

Added so it was Evalina Kate E who died in 1906.

How have you gone from Susan Marsh back to this family please??

Hi Flip,just popped in quickly to see your info,yes this appears to be correct,Ethel is my dads mother,Mabel was killed in 1939
Richard, Charlotte`s husband, i am told drowned in London docks,but unsure. He was a mariner .

Will come back later.
Thankyou,
Glenn

Not sure about this, as there is another Marsh/Bundy marriage in 1914 Sailsbury.

However, Lydia Bunday/John Marsh married 1911 and are on the 1911 census - married under 1 year no children declared.

They have 1 child Lydia M in 1912, who looks to have married in 1934 to Birch.

There are 2 possible children (but mmn Bundy) in 1914 John, and 1918 Ronald L in the Portsmouth area. Is it possible Susan is a child of one of the two sons? But this is getting quite remote from your grandmother Ethel!

I can't see anything in the British newspaper archives for Richard Bunday or his drowning - although it was only a quick look.

Glenn

You aren't helping us to help you

you have given no proven facts relating to Susan. Everything you have posted about her alleged family is conjecture

As these appear to be your grandparents, I am at a loss to know why you gave the name as Bundy
