Louisa Jane St Aubin (1818-????)

The Basics
Louisa was born in 1818. However, no evidence of birth found yet. She was baptised on 16 April 1818 at St Peters in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the baptism were Tho. Walker. Her parents were Charles St Aubin and Jane.
No evidence of marriage found yet.
No evidence of occupation found yet.
No evidence of death found yet. No evidence of burial found yet.

Interesting
Louisa is still a bit of an enigma to me at the moment. I found her by chance when looking through the St Peters baptism records. This is the only evidence I have of her existence. Was she born in Wolverhampton or abroad? What happened to her?

Charles David St Aubin (1812-1883)

Charles was born on 29 November 1812 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. He was baptised on 6 July 1817 at St Peters in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the baptism were A.B. Haden. His parents were Charles St Aubin and Jane.
Charles married Elizabeth Perry on 14 February 1836 at St Peters in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the wedding were William Perry and John Biddulph.
Charles married Ann Baugh nee Willcox on 28 November 1865 at St Marks in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the wedding were William Day Willcox and Emma St Aubin along with John Richardson. Charles is noted as a lock manufacturer living in Waterloo Road.
Charles's occupation was a lock manufacturer.
Charles died between April - June 1883 in West Derby, Lancashire, England. He was 70 years old. No evidence of burial found yet.

Children

Interesting
Charles spent the majority of his life in Wolverhampton but spent the last few years of his life in West Derby. What inspired this move when it is clear from the 1871 census that he had a successful lock manufacturing business? All his children were born to Elizabeth, he had none with Ann. There is a 5 year gap between Charles's birth and baptism, why was that? Was Charles in fact born in Wolverhampton? On the 1871 census it states his niece Eliza Morris was at the property, so whose daughter is she?

Charles St Aubin (1847-1893)

The Basics
Charles was born between April-June 1847 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
No evidence of baptism found yet.
Charles married Emily Jane Tripe (1844-1910) on 9 January 1870 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. It occurred at a methodist church (CR1/0053) and listed people at the wedding were Mary Shapley, Ezekiel Baker and John Bruster.
Charles's occupation was being a locksmith apart from in 1881 where on the census it lists his occupation as a clerk.
Charles died between April-June 1893 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
No evidence of burial found yet.

Children
Alice Jane (1870-1875)
Emily Jane (1877-????)
William Alfred (1879-????)
Mary (1881-????)
Beatrice (1883-????)
Lily Ellen (1884)
John (1888-????)

Interesting
What I want to know is what happened between Charles and Emily between the 1871 and 1881 census. In 1881 Charles is found to be a lodger at a common lodgers place in Wolverhampton and by 1891 he is a pauper in the Wolverhampton Union Workhouse. To make the mystery deeper children are still being born to Emily up until 1888. Do these children belong to Charles? To make things worse, in 1891 Emily lists herself as a widow on the census but Charles is still alive at this point. No love lost there! What unfortunate events took place for Charles to end up a pauper? His other brothers (William Henry and Frederick) were also locksmiths but appeared to be successful.
