Notes for Olivia G Louisa Claremont
m. John Bastard who d. 1908 w/ 1s. and 1 dau., the latter b. c. 1884.
In the 1901 census there was this entry:
Olivia Gertrude Bastard, Head, married, aged 44, Living on own income, born in Paris and a british Subject.
She had no family with her and a large household of 7 servants in Mill House, Nooham (?), High Wycombe, Bucks
I think this is her and it tells us what the ‘G’ in her name stood for.
________________________________________
There is a possibility that this birth from FreeBMD refers to her son Reginald who is listed in McCrea’s Wetherall book:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Dec 1880
BASTARD Reginald St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 394

And there is an even stronger possibility that this birth is that of her daughter who was staying with her grandmother in the 1891 census, aged 7 and born in Belgravia:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Mar 1884
Bastard Violet St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 467
And the proximity of this to that for Reginald gives confirmation that it is her brother’s birth that is recorded in the above entry. And the 1881 census adds to that.
