    1. [KENT-ENG] SHRUBB , CLAYDON & THORN ( 1856 )
    2. >From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, June 21, 1856; Issue 5382.   AYLESBURY. MELANCHOLY CASE. - On Sunday morning last Mrs. SHRUBB , the wife of Mr. SHRUBB , formerly engineer at the Bucks County Lunatic Asylum, at Stone, near Aylesbury, was seized with a fit, and died about eight o'clock the same evening, being insensible and unable to speak a word during the whole of the time.  A family of four children are left motherless; and what makes this case more heartrending is the fact that SHRUBB is either in the Crimea at the present time or on his return home, so that for some time he cannot be made acquainted with the melancholy tidings.   N.B.  NOT connected to our research, but we have worked out that this was probably CHARLES SHRUBB & BETS(E)Y  ANN ( nee CLAYDON ) They married in St. Giles, London/ Middlesex June Qtr. 1846.  Charles remarried to Elizabeth  ( possibly Elizabeth THORN in Lambeth in Dec Qtr 1860 ) and on the 1861 census they were living in Plumstead, Kent, with his children by Betsy, namely  Sarah 10, born in Surrey,  Charles 8, born in Hanwell, Middlesex,  Betsy aged 7, born in Stone, Bucks, & Edmund 5 born in Stone, Bucks.   Charles was born in Reigate, Surrey,  Betsy Ann CLAYDON in Suffolk, & Elizabeth in Norwood Surrey. This is being submitted to the SURREY, MIDDLESEX, KENT, BUCKS & SUFFOLK lists in hopes that it will help someone's research.
