De'ath family and Dupont
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 9:02 am
My great grandmother is Rhoda Rebecca De'ath (1860-1922). Her father is named as Isaac De'ath on her marriage certificate to Harold Trill in 1884 in Kent. Isaac is described as 'Civil Engineer, deceased.' In the 1911 census, she gives her birthplace as Wisbech.
I believe that she may be Rebecca De'ath from Bures, however, I cannot prove this, especially since there's no mention of her first name, Rhoda in census records. Isaac from Bures is described as a Blacksmith in census records and Pigot's Directory, rather than a Civil Engineer. Some of Isaac De'ath's children were born in Bures and some in Wisbech, which is why I think that there may be a connection.
A relative remembers that Rebecca's mother or grandmother was a Dupont. Pigot's Directory and census records show that there were Dupont's in Bures in the mid 1800s.
If anyone has any further information on the family, to prove that Rhoda Rebecca De'ath is the same person as Rebecca De'ath in the census records, I would be very grateful to hear from you. Thank you.
