Find Ancestors

Does anyone have access to travel records to search for travel between England and France between the years 1871 and 1901.

I am trying to find records for Alice Jane Gough born 1859 in Wiltshire. I would also like to have knowledge of anyone else who travelled with her - she may have left as Miss A J Gough and returned as Mrs A J Gough widower? The last record I have for Alice is in the 1871 census then again on the 1901 census.

Many thanks.

Findmypast only has records from 1890 through to 1960 - have checked, however nothing showing for your Alice.

Usually those travel records haven't been kept as they were such a short journey to and from the continent people traveled as foot passengers .

Thanks very much I suppose I have no way of finding out - such a shame really.

According to that thread you had found her in the 1881?

yes I believe she is a sister to Agnes mary Gough b51. She was born in Trowbridge and I have managed to find her on the 1881 census as a needlewoman living with her parents Joseph and Ann.

I may be wrong, but I have doubts that the widow and the girl from the 1871 are the same person.

so not Alice Gough

Travel between the UK and mainland Europe is not documented

I'm not sure which thread to post on now, but most answers are on this one.


I have my doubts about that Alice J Gough death myself. She was supposed to have married. So unless she married a Gough that's not her.

1861, just to show Agnes with the family.

I would have doubts as to credibility of the status "widow" on the 1911 census. Year of birth and birthplace match the Alice Jane Gough that you are looking for. Perhaps she adopted the title of "Mrs" for appearances. Personally, I would buy a copy of that will to checkout the beneficiaries of such a fairly large estate.

And/or her death cert.

Deaths Sep 1920 GOUGH Alice J 60 Hendon 3a 249

Harrow is in Hendon registration district at this time.

I have the will of Alice Jane Gough who left her estate to her 'Adopted' (although no official papers have been found) daughter - Josephine Laura Tunstall (my grandmother). As you suggest she may have adopted the title of "Mrs" for appearances.

Alice apparently bought the estate with money that she had as a result of being in Paris and buying and selling shares.

I am trying to find out more about her life whilst she was in Paris to try and piece things together. I do have an old address book of hers with french addresses but none relating to her.

Unlikely that there would be any paperwork for adoption at that time. looks like Josephine the "adopted" daughter was actually her Grand Neice, if the census relationship of Grand daughter to alice's sister Agnes is the correct relationship on the 1901 and 1911 census.
