Would some help me please and find Beatrice M. Housman , b. 1895 in Worcestershire and her father James Housman?

Any Occupations, addresses or siblings would help me to progress with this branch of the tree.
All I know is that she married in Cheltenham in 1919.

Thanks Dea, (and Austin)

This is Her. The name Kemp confirms it for me as this name comes into the family a lot in later years.

Guess what I can see both Lyttleton House and Gloucester Terrace from my Window. !!!!!!!!

All these years and I never knew. Funny old life. Nala. :-D

David,

I can see the reason why my progress as been slow now. There is an E in the surname Housman. That now fits in with the 1901 census.

What a great day this is tuning out to be. Nala.

I think the death that Austin posted has to be Hames Hous(e)man's death, ie, the death of Beatrice's father

Deaths Sep 1898 (>99%)
Housman James 64 Droitwich 6c 209


Yes, Mary Elizabeth Kemp is a widow on the 1891 Census .............. but it's because her first husband died

She married James Houseman in 1893

He died in 1898

She married George Jones Davis in 1900


ie, she married 3 times
