Ann St Aubin (1846-????)

The Basics
Ann was born between January - March 1846 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
Ann was baptised as Anna Aubin on 17 March 1846 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
Ann married Benjamin James Brazier (1853-1928) between July - September 1879 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
Ann's occupation was a milliner/dress maker.
No evidence of death found yet.
No evidence of burial found yet.

Children
Benjamin Charles (1882-????)
Frederick Joseph (1883-????)
Hubert St Aubin (1885-????)
John (1887-????)
Annie (1889-????)
Jane (1892-????)

Interesting
Although Ann and Benjamin married in 1879, they do no appear together on a census until 1901. Saying that I have yet to find them including their on the 1891 census - the family appears to disappear. I wonder why the separation at the start of the marriage. The 1881 census shows Benjamin in Birmingham and Ann in West Derby.

Jane St Aubin (1844-1899)

The Basics
Jane was born between October - December 1844 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England.
No evidence of baptism found yet.
Jane never married.
Jane had one listed occupation as a clerk in a milliners works.
Jane died between October - December 1899 in West Derby, Lancashire. She was 54 years old.
No evidence of burial found yet.

Children
None

Interesting
It appears that Jane never left home (so to speak). She always lived with a member of the family - usually her parents. However, she spent some time living with her brother William Henry. I wonder why she never left or became independent. The last census she was recorded on was 1891 and then she lived alone and had an occupation. Why was she so dependent on others?

Ann Willcox (1827-1900)

The Basics
Ann was born in 1827 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. However, I have found no evidence of this yet. Ann was baptised on 1 June 1827 at St Peters in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the baptism were Tho. Walker. Her parents were Edward Willcox and Mary.
Ann married Richard Ingram Baugh on 24 February 1848 at St. Johns in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. Listed people at the wedding were T.E.W. D'Arcy and Sarah Nutt along with H. Pountney.
Ann married Charles David St Aubin 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. Ann was living in Darlington Street.
Ann's occupation was a milliner and letting appartments.
Ann died between January - March 1900 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. She was 73 years old. Her burial took place on 25 January 1900 at Merridale Cemetery in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England. The noted parish is St Luke and she was living in Wanderers Avenue as a widow.

Interesting
What strikes me about Ann is that from two marriages there appears to be no children. Also she was always keen to use St Aubin rather than just Aubin. Most of her life was spent in Wolverhampton with some time spent in Kings Norton and West Derby. Sometime after the death of Charles, she moved back to Wolverhampton where she eventually died.

Charles David St Aubin (1812-1883)

The Basics
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?
