Jemima CARTER

  General Notes:

Jemima COSTIN was the informant at Humphrey's death

There are many mysteries surrounding Jemima Carter and children
- Edward Costin's marriage in 1851 states that he married Mary Anne Carter, but the birth of his son, Edward, gives his wife's name as Jemima formerly Carter. (now shown that this was Jemima's sister who died in January 1852 and that Jemima married Edward in 1856)
- Edward Costin's marriage in 1851 also it states that Edward's father was George Costin (deceased) - George Costin died in 1867!
- Edward died in 1858, yet Jemima continued to have children for another 10 years where she gave the name of the father as Edward Costin
- on one birth registration she gave her name as Costin late Carter formerly Watson
- Jemima was the informant of Edward Costin's death
- Jemima was a widow in 1861
- The last few children gave the name of the father as Humphrey Costin who was actually Humphrey Potter.
- In 1871 she was using the name Potter, but had not remarried.
- In 1881 she is again shown as a widow, Jemima Potter
- Jemima Costin was the informant of the death of Humphrey Potter
- Jemima had a further child after Humphrey died, but there was no birth registration
- All the children except Edward Costin (son of Edward and Jemima) and Julia (daughter of Jemima, but born 2 years after Edward's death) married with the surname Potter

- The image on Ancestry looks as though it might have been altered from Edwar, as if the indexer was going to write Edward and then changed his mind

Marriage certificate
July 13th 1856 at St James, Clerkenwell, Middlesex
Edwin Costin, 25 (or 28), Wid'r, Porter, 21 Swinton Street. Father William Costin, Postman
Jemima Carter, 21, Sp'n'r, - , -. Father James Carter, Hair Dresser
Witnesses Wm Webb, W H Burwash (???)
- This is obviously not conclusive as too many details differ from what appears to be known. However, with so many discrepancies throughout their lives anything is possible. It does seem to be Jemima, albeit the father's occupation is incorrect.

This does not appear to be the end of the household and there should be a further 6 pages of RG9/272. It is likely that daughter Julia would appear on the next sheet. PRO has confirmed that the last page available is F134 P30. So there is no way to find out any more from the 1861 census.
