JANE BUSHELL BAKER was born 1st March 1862 at 19 Griffin Street, Deal. Her father was William Brett Baker, boatman, and her mother Sarah Elizabeth Baker, formerly Bushell, who registered the birth with her mark X.  Jane was baptised at St George’s, Deal, 23 May 1862.

 

Jane’s family have not been found in the 1881 census. However, there is a Jane Bushnell, aged 19 and unmarried, at the Napier Tavern, Beach Street, Deal. She is living with, and working for, her uncle William Bushnell. William is both a boatman and a publican, a frequent combination in Deal. The ages of both would fit perfectly with Jane Bushell Baker and her uncle William J. Bushell. The fact that Jane’s middle name was the same as her uncle’s surname may have confused the enumerator, who entered it as her surname too.

Bert, seated on the floor in the photo, was a soldier in World War I and was gassed. He was ill thereafter.  Ethel joined the WAAC. She had a son, Norman, while she was still in her teens but died, umarried, of TB. In her final months she was pushed about the town in a basket wheelchair. Her son was brought up by her Aunt Minnie and her husband, who had no children of their own.

        Richard Cory became a builder and decorator with his own firm. His eldest daughter Jess married Ted Hopper. The two men went into business together and lived next door to each other. Richard Cory drank the proceeds and the firm went downhill.  He built a house, Wi Wurry, for his family. Jean Cory’s daughter, Rosemary, said: “Mother was born in 2 Cannon Street and moved to 47 College Road then to Fernside, Middle Deal Road and later to Wi Wurry in Middle Deal Road.

        “Mum’s Mother died 9 days after she was born so she knows nothing about her. When she died Aunt Jess took over the running of household and as Grandfather was a drinker she often had to go in the pub after him, and shame him into giving her the money to run the house on. When she married, Aunt Flo took over the running of the house, she married and Mum then took over, and as my Father (Ron Nightingale) was a miner he would have nothing to do with him so she left. Aunt Flo then took over again.”

In the end, his daughter Edith took over the household management, until her own marriage to Edmar Sampson in 1830. Edmar said that they had a policeman stationed outside the church, in case her father cut up rough at losing his last daughter.

Richard died in 1939.
