Great grandfather Charles Lusby
Charles Lusby's origins are a bit of a mystery to me and the only clues are in the
1891 Census where he was living in West St Leven in the household of Mary Ann
Dennison. In the 1891 census he claimed he had been born in Gt Grimsby c. 1867
and in his 1892 Marriage Certificate that his deceased father had been a
sea-captain. This information seems to contradict other clues left in a family bible.
Charles married Elizabeth MYERS on 14 January 1892 in the Primitive Methodist
Chapel, Beverley. He died on 31 March 1945 and is buried in the Parish Church of
Swine.

- 13 June 1865 Birth Certificate: Charles LUSBY was born to Annie LUSBY of 5
Hall Street, Myton Hull . No father was recorded.
My hunch is that my great great grandmother was Sarah Ann Lusby 1843 Drypool
daughter of John LUSBY and Sarah ROSENDALE. John was a Master Seaman.
because:
- her sister Elizabeth lived in 8 Hall St in 1851 with her aunt and uncle,
Rosendales.
- Sarah Ann did not marry and went to live with her other sister and brother-in-
law, Emma and Richard Todd.
- Richard Todd's parents were connected to Lusbys as they fostered Frances
Lusby. a nurse-child, in 1851
All circumstantial evidence of a link with the Charles Lusby born 1865 to Annie Lusby
