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.

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.
