George, our direct ancestor, had been born on 11^th December 1860 in Marylebone. He was still living with his mother in the 1881 Census in Willesden as a 20 year old ostler groom. 

He married Susan Hilton (born in Chelsea in 1864) – I have not yet traced a marriage certificate.  

The first son, George, was born in 1888 in Whitechapel. We believe he married Nell/Ellen (who was connected to the Tanner family) and had three children. This is an avenue yet to follow up. 

Henrietta Agnes was born on 23^rd May 1890 (BC) in Pimlico ( I have her birth certificate) and she was of course my grandmother who later married James Bussicott and they had Jimmy, my Mum, Agnes and George. 

In the 1891 Census George (30) was living with Susan (26) at 34 Commercial Road in St George Hanover Square. George was a groom/ostler. Also living with them were George (3) and Henrietta (1). Also there was a boarder, James Brown a 36 year old picture framer, and also a lodger George Hill a retired butler. 

Honor Susan was born in the last three months of 1892 in St George Hanover Square.

We believe that she lived in Hounslow was married but had no children. 

Edward Thomas was born in the last three months of 1895 in Chelsea. He was known as “Bumper” and I have vague memories of him going with us to watch Chelsea in the 1950’s.  We believe he was in the Coldstream Guards and later the War Graves Commission. His first wife died and his second wife was Wynn and they had two boys David and Edward. He died in the 1950’s. What happened to the boys and their relatives has not yet been determined.  

Elizabeth was born in the quarter to June 1898 in Marylebone. She was known as Liz. We believe she had a daughter called Susan. 

In the 1901 Census George (40) and Susan (36) were living at 11 Allington Road Willesden. George was a horsekeeper for an omnibus. Also living with them were George, Henrietta, Honor, Edward and Elizabeth. 

I have to follow up two Winifred Emily’s born in 1901 and 1909 to see if they were family.  

Gladys was born when? She married George Tyson and had a son George. They lived in Cadogan Place Chelsea and later overlooking the Chelsea Football Club. They did not marry until 1960. Son George had a garage in Dorking and married Rosemary and they had two children Jacqueline and Stephen. George has died and Rosemary lives in Chessington.  

Lillian Grace was born on  16^th July 1909 in Hendon. This of course was Laura who later married Charles Tanner and we can prepare the family tree through Ray and Pauline and their children. 

Laura was nearly 20 years younger than my grandmother Henrietta and this was why my mother and Laura were close friends all their lives. 

I have as yet no dates on the death of George and Susan but have some pictures of Susan with Henrietta. 

We believe that Susan was killed in a traffic accident at Clapham Junction.
