Life History

9th January 1826	Born in Rotterdam
8th Oct 1912	Died in London

Notes

In 1851, in Sussex, at 32, Brunswick Terrace:

Jane Buschman	Head	Widow	53	Mistress of Ladies School	b. London
Jane M Buschman	Daughter	Unm	24		b. 'Rotterdam British Subject'
with 29 other women (from 9 to 40 yrs of age) in the same household (a girls school.

In the 1861 census, at 25 York Place, in St Marylebone, Middlesex:

Theodora Buschman	Head	Widow	67	b. abt 1794, in Covent Garden, Middlesex	b. London
Jeannie M Buschman	Daughter	Unm	30	(i.e. born 1831), in Rotterdam

Theodora Buschman, 67, widow, b. abt 1794, in Covent Garden, Middlesex
Jeannie M Buschman, Daughter, 30 (i.e. born 1831), in Rotterdam.

Has her mother Jane (née Runciman) adopted a feminine version of her late husband's name? It seems likely that 'Jeannie M' is probably 'Jane Majorine' however there does seem to be an age discrepancy.

Covent Garden is the area in which a number of Runcimans were born.

Not found in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses.
