----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Frampton" <david@watford.karoo.co.uk> Dear Dave I am rather curious about Agnes BEESON who, in the 1881 Census was a Teacher of Music, but in 1891 and 1901 she was Registrar of Births and Deaths living in Bushey HRT. In 1881 Agnes' father Henry was described as Builder and Registrar. I don't know when her father died but I assume she took over as Registrar from her Father, but how unusual is it for a lady, single or otherwise, to become a Registrar at that time? My interest is through Annie Tildens STUCHBURY who married George Edens HEDGES of Oxford - not my own HEDGES family but part of my Hedges One Name Study.
