Dear Ancestry Jezard Community Message Board
Please can we have some help locating Violet in the 1911 census, her marriage and death. Thank you.
Violet was born in 1890 in Earls Court, Kensington. On Violet's birth certificate her mother is listed as Eliza Jezard formerly Thrasher and Eliza's husband as Alfred Jezard. However, Thrasher and Jezard are both Eliza's maiden names from her father Robert Thrasher and step-father John Jezard. We do not know who Alfred Jezard is. Violet, Eliza and Alfred are living at 109 Finborough Road, Kensington on Violet's birth certificate.
When Violet is baptised in 1896 her baptism 'parents' are listed as George Jezard and May Jezard who we have also not been able to trace living at 133 Finborough Road, Kensington with her illegitimate cousin Horace Thresher/Thrasher/Courtenay who was baptised with Violet.
In the 1901 census Violet Jezard (listed as Violet Gezard) and Horace Thrasher/Thresher (listed as Horace Courtenay) have been sent to a boarding school in Southend.
Horace Thrasher is birth registered in 1893 in Fulham and his mother is listed as Grace Thrasher formerly Courtenay. In fact the mother's name is Alice Thrasher born 1871 Holborn (Courtenay is by family rumour Horace's father's name), the father listed Robert Thrasher is Grace's father who died in 1879. From Horace's birth certificate Grace and Horace are living at 81 Archel Road, Fulham. At Horace's baptism in 1896 his baptism 'parents' are Percy Thresher and Louisa Thresher (who are in fact Percy Atkins and Louisa Thrasher - Grace's sister - Percy and Louisa marry in 1905).
Horace Thrasher/Thresher is born and baptised
Horace Thrasher/Thresher is not on 1901 census and 1911 census
Horace Thrasher/Thresher does not marry and does not die
Horace Courtenay is not born or baptised
Horace Courtenay is found in 1901 census and 1911 census
Horace Courtenay gets married and dies
We have asked several Local Register Offices to look for Horace Courtenay's birth register and they believe as we do that Horace Thrasher/Thresher and Horace Courtenay are the same baby. When Grace gets married in 1901 to Herbert Solomon she calls herself Grace Courtenay spinster and Herbert, Grace and Horace are found living together in the 1911 census as Herbert Solomon, Grace Solomon and Horace Courtenay.
Any help greatly appreciated.
