It is likely Thomas Busby was married before, considering ages of children in 1871 census.

There is a Harriett EDITH BUSHBY, baptised 10 Apr 1874 @ Stokenchurch. To Thomas & Kate BUSHBY. Thomas Busby was a Butler.

This Harriet is possibly still unmarried in 1901 and 1911. There's a Harriet E. Busby (27, born Stokenchurch), a servant, in Rotherfield Peppard in 1901. She appears to still be in that area in 1911, though apparently having aged only 6 years since the previous census. (This is from LDS transcripts, so I don't have the reference numbers, sorry.) I can't see the full entry to check her marital status, though.

There is an Edith H Bushby b.1874, Stokenchurch, with the same Minnett family in 1891.

Oh dear.....this could all be wrong.

Until sammysaid has a marriage certificate we're working in the dark: there are a lot of Busbys in this neck of the woods. And quite a lot of people hunting Busby ancestors too, to judge from the Oxfordshire Surname Interest List:

Hi Olliecat,
Yes this is the marriage of my Edith into the Harnett clan...

[sammysaid]

stepives,
I think my Edith's full names is Edith Ellen Busby?

[sammysaid]

Also it's probably nothing but the name Leonard seems to be a relevant christian name later on in Edith's life so I'm thinking there was perhaps a Leonard Busby in her earlier life???
Bit of a grab in the dark....

Now this is interesting. Their son Wilfred E Harnett was baptised 24th June 1900 in Piddington, Oxfordshire.

William Edward, son of William & EMILY Harnett. Brass finisher of Queens Road, Battersea, London. Born 24th May.

Obviously, he was the child that had died before 1911 census.

I would hazard a guess, that Piddington, Buckinghamshire is a pup.
