There is an Augusta Fenton in 1901 who is a different person, this one:

Marriages Mar 1892
Buckle Henry Leeds 9b 488
> Cotton Augusta Leeds 9b 488
> FENTON John Leeds 9b 488
FREEMAN Rachel Leeds 9b 488
Wilks Emma Leeds 9b 488

There is an Augusta Moran in Chelsea in 1901, but she is recorded as born c1865 in East Barnet, Hertfordshire and single. However, there is no Augusta Moran birth. She is a housemaid, so it seems unlikely. She died in Watford in 1918.


If you think the 1894 marriage could be your Augusta, only the marriage certificate will say for sure.

"Circa" birthdates aren't great, when we have FreeBMD.

Births Mar 1867
DAVIS Augusta Mary F Axbridge 5c 647

This gives you her middle name/initial, for searching there for a marriage (or death).


There is no other Augusta Mary Davis birth, and there is only one marriage in that name.

Do you know Ernest's middle name?

The parents of John Frederick Davis believed to be, William Davis born c 1780 in Ireland and Jane nee Waugh c 1782 but no proof of this.

1881 census shows them and their mother visiting their maternal grandparents.
