In 1891 Emma Austin was a widow, aged 51, a Boot & Shoe Dealer, born Yoxford, Suffolk. Living with her were Florence, daughter., aged 24, Assistant, born Worthing, William P, son, aged 15, Butcher’s Assistant, born Worthing and Mary Ann, daughter., aged 12, Scholar, born Worthing. Their address was 39, Montague Street, Broadwater, Worthing. (Note the change of address, it’s only the number). George was not present. He is listed as George H Austin, lodger, single, aged 17, Grocers Assistant, born Worthing, resident 7a, High Street, Shoreditch, London.
In 1901, in the middle of the Boer war, George is still listed as George H Austin, but his details are now Head, married, aged 27, Hairdresser, born Worthing, also listed are his wife, Minnie, aged 28, born Worthing, a son, George William, 1 month old, born Worthing plus a boarder and a servant. All residing at 77, Montague Street, Worthing.
In 1911 he is listed as George Henry Austin, head, married 15 years, aged 37, Barber, born Worthing, his wife is Minnie, aged 38, a Boot Dealer, born Worthing, his son is George William, aged 10, at school, born Worthing, and they have two boarders. All resident at 59, Montague Street, Worthing.
William P my grandfather joined the 14th Hussars in 1892 and sailed from Southampton in Dec 1899 and arrived in Durban South Africa in Jan 1900 to fight in the Boer war.After the war he stayed in South Africa.
Would like to trace any living relatives from the Austin family in Worthing.
