'O Captain! My
Captain!'1 A
Tale of Two Capt Jousiffes |
|
What follows is information that
we have gathered on two Jousiffes, alive in the 19th century, both of
whom describe themselves as CAPTAIN. It is probable that
these are not the same person as the initials/first names would appear
to be different, but stranger things have happened!
We do not yet know how or if we are
related to these two!

Wilton Morton
Jousiffe
Wilton Morten Jousiffe was married to
Anne Bartlett Honibourne on 29 June 1850 in St Martin's in the
Field. At the time of their marriage Wilton declared that his profession
was a captain in the Spanish Army. Wilton was a widower, and his
father Francis was declared as a Gentleman.
On the 1861 census Anne was domicile at 20 York Street, Marylebone,
as a lodger. She was married and of independent means; but where
was Wilton?
