MotherSarah Ferrand (1783-1854)
Notes for Currer Busfeild
On the FreeBMD marriage record his name is spelled ‘Busfield’.

He has no death record on FreeBMD. However Malise

In 1841, he was also Busfield, but seemed to be entered twice, on two successive pages for the one household; possibly the second entry is their son who was around 25 weeks old and was entered as 25 years old? They probably had her sister with them but there is no sign of their child who was born in 1840:

First name(s) Last name Sex Age Birth year  Birth place

I have included his and Sarah’s known two children:

1. Currer Fothergill Busfeild, from his birth certificate,
2. Sarah Ferrand Busfeild, from her marriage certificate.

There may, of course, have been more children but I have no record of any of them, nor do they appear in any census.
