FREDERICK THOMAS DUKE BUSSICOTT (1837-1892)



Frederick Thomas Duke Bussicott was born on 25th October 1837 (BC) at 2 Princes Row, Queen Street, Belgravia, St George Hanover Square to William and Mary Ann Bussicott as noted earlier.
 

There is no trace of him in the 1841, 1851,1861 or the 1871 censuses which is very strange. 

However on 5th January 1863 (MC) he married Louisa Wallis at St Judes Church in Upper Chelsea. 

However six months later Louisa died.  

Undeterred Frederick Thomas Duke tried again and some six months later married Martha Elizabeth Carter in early 1864.  

They had at least three children that survived 

         Frederick John born in Pimlico in 1864 

         Martha Elizabeth born in Pimlico in 1868 

         Alice Winifred born in Pimlico in 1870 

There were a number of Bussicott children who had died young. Without requesting birth and death certificates which is expensive I cannot be sure but the following children all died in the St George Hanover Square district (which covered the Pimlico district) and they were the only Bussicott family living there at the time 

Mary Ann Bussicott died aged 1 in March 1867

         Charles Henry Bussicott was born in 1873 and died in 1878

Mary Ann Bussicott born in 1877 and died in 1878

         Jessie Eliza Bussicott born in 1878 died in 1880

Frederick Thomas Duke at last appears in the April 1881 census living at 12 Lower Garden Street, Westminster where he is recorded as living with his family as follows
