    • Living at home with her parents, and on census night her brother William, in the Royal Navy, was at home.
      Occupation shown as 'Domestic', as was her mother's, possibly indicating she went out to do domestic work, or did it mean domestic chores at home?

      Despite the unexpected place I think this must be the death of this Jessie. Not only the only death registration of a Jessie Louisa Parker of the right age, but the date also fits with that on her gravestone.

      Maybe she had moved for safety during the war, possibly to live with a child, or to be cared for in ill health? Was she just visiting the area.

    1. [S336] FreeBMD, FreeBMD, ((  http://www.freebmd.org.uk/  )), accessed 6 Sep 2014), Marriage of Selina GOTHAM to Robert OSBORN. (Reliability: 3).
      GRO ref: Gotham, Selina to Osborn, Robert q1 1851 Newton Abbot  RD 10 253 (2 other couples on the same page but from the census it seems clear that Selina married Robert Osborn)
      To make matters confusing:
      In the St. Thomas RD of Exeter in Q1 1850 a Selina CASLEY married one Robert William OSBORNE.
      (GRO ref: Casley, Selina to Osborne, Robert William Q1 1850 St Thomas RD 10 383)
      This couple were of similar ages to the Selina and Robert Osborn on this tree, though with different birthplaces, occupation and children. Despite the differences some have muddled these 2 couples.
