WILLIAM RICHARD BUSSICOTT (1815 - c1850)




William Richard Bussicott married Sarah King at St Anne Soho Westminster on 25th December 1835. (Christmas Day!) as can be seen on Parrot’s Marriage Index (MC)
We know from the 1841 Census he was born c 1815 so he was 20 when he married.

We know that they had six girls of whom three died very young:

Caroline born in 1838 and died the same year

Eliza was born in 1840

In the 1841 Census, William, Sarah and Eliza are living in St Georges Hanover Square. They are actually noted on the census form as Bugsicott. (What I have seen many many times is when they wrote “ss” together it was the custom to elongate the first “s”)

Mary Ann was born 1842

Sophia who was born in 1944 and died in 1946

Sarah was born 1847

Agnes was born 1850 and died soon afterwards

(We have the death certificate for Agnes who died at 17 New Grosvenor Place, Pimlico, Belgravia on 27th October 1850 (DC) aged just one. She died from Rubella)   

William must have died about the same year as in the April 1851 Census Sarah was termed a widow and had the following family living at 17 New Grosvenor Place in St George Hanover Square with the three young girls:

Name DOB Born In Age Profession
Sarah Bussicott 1818 Westminster 33 Widow
Eliza Bussicott 1839 Pimlico 12  
Mary Ann Bussicott 1842 Pimlico 7  
Sarah Bussicott 1847 Pimlico 4  


We then lose track of both the Sarah’s, the mother and the child. The family must have been in financial striates at the time. We do however pick up the other two girls Eliza and Mary Ann.

Please select these names individually to see their stories.
