Cousens Family

 

Sarah Ann Cousens was my great grandmother.  She was born in Little Mongeham and baptised at Sutton by Dover on 3 Oct 1858.  She had a sister, Emily Jane, who was also born in Little Moneham and baptised at Sutton by Dover on  2 Oct 1859.  Their parents were George Cousens and Sarah Wraight. 

George was born in Guston and Sarah was born in St. Margaret’s.  The couple was married in St. Margaret’s on 20 Dec 1856 when both were aged 19.  The marriage document lists George’s father as George (labourer) and Sarah’s father as Richard (labourer – see Wraight Family).  Witnesses were Eliza Johnson and William Wraight.

In 1841 George Cousens was 3 years old. He was living with his family at Crow Hill, Guston. The family was comprised of father, George (age 40), mother, Mary (aged 35), sister Eliza (aged 9) and brother, John ( 1 month). George , Sr. was an Agricultural Labourer.

In 1841 Edward and his family were neighbours of the Cousens family at Guston.

The 1891 census shows George and Sarah Cousens (both aged 53) living at  Waldershare on Easling Down Farm.  Living with them is grand daughter Sarah (age 6) and George’s mother Mary (aged 76, born in Lyminge). In 1901 Sarah is a widow living at 12 St. Andrews Terrace, Dover. She is listed as a retired Farmer. Living with her are her grand daughters, Sarah Goldsack (16, ) and Florence E.

Mundy (Munday)  Family

 

My grandmother was Ada Kathleen Mundy. According to the certificate of death, issued by the province of Manitoba, she was born in Whiltshire, 31 March 1889. There is a record of an Ada Caroline Mundy being born in Q1 1889 at Pewsey, Whiltshire. I believe that this girl was the daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth Mundy. She was born in Tedworth, Wiltshire (near Pewsey). Her father was born in Pewsey. In 1901 she and her family were at Nursling, Hampshire. Based upon the naming pattern of the children there may be a connection between the two families.

 

Edwin Mundy (1854, Amesbury, Wiltshire) married Ellen Edwards (1855, Orcheston, St. Mary, Wiltshire) in Q4 1877 at Andover (spans the border between Wiltshire and Hampshire). In 1881 they were living at Ford, Laverstock, Wiltshire. Edwin was an Agricultural Labourer. They had two children with them. In 1901 they were living at Fittleton, Wiltshire. Edwin was an Engine Driver on a Farm. In June 1919 Edwin (Edward) was still alive and listed as an Engineer. Ada’s death certificate gives his name as Edward and Ellen’s as Nellie.

            (2) Charles Edwin Mundy (1879, Shipton Bellinger, Hampshire)

            (2) Rose Ellen Mundy (1880, Lavenstock, Wiltshire) * 7 months old on census day

            (2) Walter Mundy (1884, Haxon, Wiltshire)

            (2) Ada Kathleen Mundy (31 Mar 1889, Haxon-22 Apr 1929, Manitoba) m. *Philip Henry Tetzloff (d. October 23, 1918, France) m2.  (9 Jun 1919, Dover) John Goldsack (1882-1955)

            (2) Bessie Mundy (Q1 1893, Haxon)

            (2) Florence Kate Mundy (Q2 1894, Haxon)

 

*When Ada married John Goldsack in 1919 she was a widow named Tetzloff. I believe that her first husband was Philip Henry Tetzloff.  It is possible that Philip was the son of Herman J. (1855, Nustellen (?) Germany) and Margarethe (1858, GSD Hessen, Germany) In 1881 they were living at 35 Fairclough Street, London, Middlesex. Herman was a Bootmaker. In 1881 they had two children, Sophie (1878, Whitechapel, London) and Julius (1880, London). In 1901 the only member of the family in England was Sophie. She was living  in Mile End Old Town, London and working as a Trowsers Tailoress.

 

Philip Henry Tetzloff was a Sargeant with the 1st and 8th Lancashire Fusilers. Philip and Ada had a least 1 daughter, Queenie Alexandra (1912-1980)
