My Great x3 Half Aunt Lucy (1863 - 1863) was an older half sister of my Great Great Grandfather Walter Boobier (1871 - 1924).
Lucy was born in Jan/Feb/Mar 1863, in Tiverton, to William Boobier (about 37), a stone mason, and Emma Boobier (nee Kimmings) (about 37), a laundress.
Lucy was baptised on 24th March 1863 in St Peter, Tiverton. Whilst the record of her birth and death list her middle name as 'Janet', it is spelt 'Jeanette' on the record of her baptism.
Lucy was the seventh of eight children (six sons and two daughters):
- William Edwin Kimmings 1850 - 1851 (14 months)
- Thomas Philip 1851 - 1907 (55 years old)
- William Donald 1854 - 1855 (about 1 year and half)
- Emma Grace 1855 - 1911 (54 years old)
- Edwin John 1858 - 1???
- William Edwin 1861 - 1916 (55 years old)
- Lucy Janet/Jeanette 1863 - 1863 (0 - 3 months)
- George Albert 1864 -
Two of Lucy's older siblings passed away before she was born.
In Oct/Nov/Dec 1851, her eldest brother William Edwin Kimmings passed away, aged about fourteen months. Then in May 1855, William Donald passed away, aged about thirteen months.
In March 1863, Lucy herself passed away, aged only zero to three months, in Tiverton. She had the shortest life of all her siblings.
In the mid-late 1860's, Lucy's family moved from Tiverton to Exeter.
In January 1867, her mother Emma passed away, aged about forty. She was buried on 24th January 1867 in Exeter. Lucy's father remarried the next year. William (about 41) married Jane Mutter (about 30) in May/June 1868.
Lucy had four younger half brothers:
- Robert 1869 -
- Walter 1871 -
- Alfred 1873 -
- Frederick 1874 -
