I am looking for info on My gran Esther Gertude Cuzner's Family who died 14/09/1966 was married to William Herbert Tarling in 1912. Esther's mother was Emily sorry no maiden name died 1935 no d.o.b married to William Cuzner who died 07/06/1924 no.d.o.b both buried in Gap Street cemetery Wimbledon. Esther was one of eight: Walter,Victor,Sidney,William,Esther,Violet,Winifred and Reginald. I can't find any d.o.b for any of them. I thought I may be able to work backwards from my great granfather from his death but cant find anything.

(With apologies for the inelegant format - I don't seem to be able to get this to add a carriage return, line feed!)-------------------------------

The marriage is registered DQ 1912 in Kingston district of William H. Tarling to Esther or Ether G. Cuyner (sic). Lower case y and z look similar in the writing of the time and Cuyner is a very rare surname. Do you have a copy of that marriage certificate - it should give Esther's age (although it might just say 'of full age' or similar).-----------------

Esther G. Tarling's death was registered SQ 1966 in Chichester and her age was given as 75. That would imply she was born 15 Sep 1890 to 14 Sep 1891. There is no obvious matching birth of an Esther G. Cuzner - even allowing a couple of years either side. --------------------

The Cuzner's are a bit elusive - I can't see an obvious death for William Cuzner in 1924 - are you sure of the surname? There's a William E. Cuzner who married SQ 1895 Croydon and one possible spouse is an Emma Selina Kelsey. It looks to me as if William Herbert Tarling's birth was registered St George Hanover Square JQ 1893. So I guess his will be the death of William Herbert Tarling registered MQ 1980 Portsmouth - his date of birth was given as 28 Mar 1893; so we might expect his spouse to have been born around the same time. --------------------------------


Aaah checking for Esther Cuzner's of about the same age gets me to the 1901 census at RG13/444/93/26:
Stephen Cuzner Head M 37 Anti-friction metal smelter, Paddington; -----
Emily M. Wife 37 Westminster; -----
Walter S. Son 14 Packer Cream Swiss milk Co, Lambeth; -----
Stephen A. Son 12; -----
Esther G. Daur 10; -----
Sydney S. Son 8; -----
Victor I. Son 6 ----- Battersea;
Violet A. Daur 11Mo; ----------------------

So SQ 1886 births bring us to Walter Stephen Cuzner in Lambeth district; and MQ 1889 births include Stephen Arthur W. Cuzner in Lambeth district. There's a marriage of a Stephen Cuzner MQ 1885 in Lambeth district and one possible spouse is an Emily Maude Stanhope - bingo! I can't see that family in the 1891 census.------------------
Violet Adelaide Cuzner's birth was registered JQ 1900 Wandsworth district; Sydney Stanhope Cuzner MQ 1893 Lambeth is a certainty; and Victor Ivor Cuzner JQ 1895 Wandsworth almost completes the story------------------
And so finally to the birth of Esther Gertrude Cuz_er MQ 1891 Lambeth; volume 1d page 382. And back through the birth of Emily Maud Stanhope in Westminster district MQ 1864 etc., I'll leave you to fill in the details.------------------

I trust that get's you on the way - if there's anything more on the Tarling side you need please get in touch - see www.tarling.net

Thank you very much for all that info you found it confirmed what names I had and gave me the order of their births plus an extra member I did not know about. Could I ask one more favour. You gave me information on where my grandfather lived when he was 8 and his parents first names but could you find the surname of my grandfather wifes name please.

I have a relative Emma Selina Kelsey born Mar 1873 Croydon, Surrey, England, died Mar 1929 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia and married Mar 1868 to Frederick William Marsh, also in Croydon. The couple migrated around 1914 to Australia.

I do not have Cuzner or Cuyner in the family that I am aware.

I hope this information helps you research. If you find a connection to this person/couple, please let me know of the new family links.
