Notes for Sarah Ferrand Busfeild
While she gave her father’s name, at her marriage, as Currer Fothergill Busfeild, I suspect this was confusion with her brother’s and her grandfather’s names.

2011: Her son Ernest is only known, so far, as the informant for her death certificate.

However I cannot find Frederick on FreeBMD’s birth index, though there is a Frederick Fidoe born in Tenbury, Herefords which is not far away from the Leominster where the next child was registered three years later:

Surname First name(s) District Vol  Page
Births Dec 1875   (>99%)
Fidoe Frederick Tenbury 6c 291

On the other hand the 1881 census has him down as born in Spilsby Lincs.

There are lots of Frederick Fido(e) marriages from 1887 onwards.
