25. Amelia Norman Andrews

Amelia Norman Andrews was my great-great grandmother, and mother of Frederick Chisnall Andrews.

She was born on 23 July 1851 at Fore Street, St Clements, Ipswich, Suffolk. Her father was William Joseph Andrews, miller. Her mother was Marian (or just possibly Mariah) Andrews, formerly Norman. [So at last I have some Norman ancestry!].

She married Edward Charles Andrews. According to their marriage certficate, they were married in the parish church of St Clements Ipswich on 8 February 1873. They were both 'of full age'. Edward Charles Andrews was a widower and a gentleman by rank or occupation living at Claydon, Suffolk. His father was Edward Andrews farmer. Amelia Norman Andrews was a spinster living at St Clements Ipswich. Her father was William Joseph Andrews, miller. The witnesses were Robert Alexander Cook and Ellen Maria Andrews. They were married by licence, rather than after banns. I seem to recall from my 1977 research that this was his second marriage (to one of the servants?), and presumable explains why Frederick did not inherit very much and had to move to London to find work.

She gave birth to Frederick Chisnall Andrews was born on 29 June 1876 at Claydon in the Bosmere registration district, subdistrict of Coddenham, in the County of Suffolk. Her other children were Alice and Annie children.

She was no longer living with her husband at the time of the 1881 census
