    Notes 
    • With her daughter Charlotte in the 1891 and 1901 censuses, with Charlotte's husband shown as 'Head', but he had moved into where the Tarrs had been living for some years.
    • (Research):Marrying at the age of 37 may suggest Charlotte may well have not been a spinster when she married. However, the children's births suggest that the relationship had started by 1861, i.e. when Charlotte was about 27. In addition, the name Burgess was given as a middle name to the first born, and is shown as the mother's maiden name (in the GRO online index) for 3 of the 4 children (I suspect the 4th - William Arthur, where is shown as James, is due to an error in recording or transcribing).

    • GRO ref: Tarr, Nicholas John G to BURGESS, Charlotte q4 1871 Bath RD 5c 1198 (from FreeBMD)
      Probably a Register Office marriage (p. 1173 was for a marriage on 25 Dec at Walcot St Swithin, p. 1206 was for a Register Office or Non-conformist (Registrar present) marriage (page info. from the Guild of One-Name Studies Marriage Index).
      I am assuming the children shown with Nicholas and Charlotte in the 1871 and 1881 censuses are theirs. Although all born before they married, the births were all registered as 'Tarrs'. Nicholas had deserted his family about 1860, and was not with them in 1861 or 1871, so I doubt they were children of that marriage. Given the first of the four was given the name Burgess as a Christian name, the surname of Charlotte who Nicholas married in 1871, points strongly to them being their children together.
      If Nicholas had had the children with another Burgess e.g. a sister of Charlotte, would expect to find Charlotte as sister-in-law or housekeeper in 1871, not wife (when not actually married). Being shown as wife suggests they may have been living as man and wife for sometime.

      Nicholas' first wife was still living when he married Charlotte, so it is not clear why after living together as though man and wife for some years they decided to marry bigamously. Maybe he had not heard from her for a sufficient period that he felt it safe to do so.
