Mrs Buki or Mrs Booty?

[Debra A]

Hi Debs,

This does seem to be the appropriate venue, until such time as we find that Mrs Buki was, in fact, a cross-dresser who served as a Kelly in the Scots Guards

I'm still drawn to a Mrs Buke, with a typesetter misreading the last letter as an 'i'. Boring, perhaps, but entirely possible, I think.

Regards, Bridewell.

Exactly! Thanks Bridewell.

Also, bits of the discussion on Mrs. Buki were being swamped by S.G. discussion and I am interested in both, nosey bugger that I am.

Where did your Mrs. Buke live? I think location is probably important?

Hi Debs,

Elizabeth Buke, aged 75 (in 1891) Widow 'Living On Own Means' Woolwich Dockyard.

In the census record the script reads like 'Buki' but with the 'i' undotted.

Regards, Bridewell.
