Notes:

The following are excerpts from the London, England, Selected Poor Law Removal and Settlement Records, 1698-1930 for Jane Buss:
West Ham Union, Essex.
As to the removal of Jane Buss and 2 children. The examination of Edwin Keight, clerk to the clerk of the guardians of the West Ham Poor Law Union, in the county of Essex, touching the place of the last legal settlement of the said Jane Buss aged 31 years and her 2 children; i.e., Jennie aged 3 years and Bertha agreed one year taken upon oath before us, two of Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, acting together in and for the said county of Essex, at Stratford Police Court, in the said County of Essex this 31st day of December 1896, upon the application of the Guardians of the Poor of the said West Ham Poor Law Union etc, that the said Jane Buss and 2 children have come to inhabit and are now inhabiting in the said union (not having gained a legal settlement therein, nor become irremovable by residence, nor produced a certificate acknowledging a settle elsewhere) and have become actually chargeable to, and now receiving relief from the said union.
And I have been informed that the said Jane Buss is the lawful wife of George Alfred Buss. That prior to February 1893 the said George Alfred Buss resided for the term of three years at 131 Green Street in the Parish, Hamlet, or township of St Matthew, Bethnal Green, in such manner, and under such circumstances, in each of such years, as would in accordance with the several statutes in that behalf, render him irremovable and settled therein. Signed Edwin Keight.
45 Chandon Road, Leytonstone, Stratford, March 25th 1897
Sir,
I saw Mr Vallance about the register the evening of the day you called but was told it was not in his district.
He referred me to Westbury Road, Forest Gate, it was (missing words?)Note, because the digital record has letter overlaid, it appears this letter continues on a different page thus: too late for that night and have not had an opportunity until this week when I went and was referred to West Ham Union. There I found no entry and it being an offence against the law, it concerns them if they think proper to move it int. I suppose they will, but I shall not take it up as I really have not time. I was there told Mrs Buss and her youngest child had been removed to Bethnal Green Union, the other child Millership has taken.
He has also written to one of the officials of West Ham acknowledging the parentage of the two children and wishes Mrs Buss to go and live with him again, but she refused under those circumstances.
You will have no difficulty in making him contribute to the support of the other child.
I am glad it has ended so, it has been a great worry to me. I wrote to Mrs Bass telling her to alter the names but am told it has not been done.
I am Sir, Yours Faithfully, L.A.Buss.
Note that L.A.Buss is George Buss's mother Louisa with whom George's children Elsie and Arthur are found in census records.

B.l? Schools, Leytonstone, 26.3.97
Dear Sir,
I thank you for the information that Mrs Buss' illegitimate children have only a claim on their mother's maiden name.
To my astonishment I received a communication from Mrs Millership this morning, urging me to help Mrs B. and telling me she had been removed to B.l? and that she had taken the elder of the two children into her home.
She tells me she is a cert. teacher. She also says that Mrs B is to appear at Worship Street to prove that her husband is father to the two children, and that she says she will die rather than appear.
She says her husband is at home now for the first time since 1891, and that she has spent many years of misery as his wife. I can but pity her. I will write her friends and induce them to help (I mean Mrs B's) and will help with some clothes if she can get a situation, perhaps she may begin now a better life.

---

B. L. School Leytonstone 27.3.97
Dear Sir. Since I wrote you yesterday I have been informed of what my mother* has discovered etc and under the circumstances I must withdraw my promise of help in clothes.
He, I hear, will scarcely pay his rent.
I will have nothing at all to do with them.
Apologising for troubling you again, and hoping you will not mind letting me know the result of the court inquiry.
I remain, yours truly, L.A.E. Buss
*Presume this is Louisa's mother and George's grandmother.

April 19th 1898
Dear Sir,
I trust you may remember coming to 602 High Road, Leytonstone about March of last year to see my husband - George Thomas Millership - about the children of Mrs Buss a woman with whom he had previously been living and who was at that time (obscured line or lines) this matter & wishes to do all within his power for me but whilst that the illegitimate child of Mrs Millership (Jennie Buss) must be returned to the workhouse as she is unable to provide for my own children of whim I have five - the youngest being my only daughter- a delicate child of eight years. I earnestly appeal to you to mention to the guardians of Bethnal Green my sad circumstances with a hope that they might give me employment of any kind for which I should be deeply grateful. I am a certificate (ends at this point)

For nearly three years he was in the employ of Castle Line as an Asst Steward. he was voyage between Cape Deleque Bay and Mauritius directly this came to London. he at once returned home and stayed till ship sailed again. afterwards accepted a situation at Beach Hotel.

Missing words at start of this letter.
as Dr Snell's assistant and I was often obliged to go to the surgery in Green Street to get a little money which many times he did not send me any. I had no idea that he was intimate with anyone - or - I should have at once made myself known to Mrs Snell, for I know both Dr and Mrs Snell, and their eldest son well by sight and feel sure they would have prevented anything of that sort happening if possible. I beg you will pardon my long letter and be kind enough to let me know whether you can send for the child - or whether I must send her. Anxiously awaiting a reply. Believe me. Faithfully yours Alice Millership.

Westerham Hill Stores, Westerham Hill, Kent. Dec 15th, 1899
Dear Sir,
I have talked the matter over with my master and mistress concerning my little girl, and they have kindly offered her a home her with me. without their help I could not keep her as my wages are so low. But I will do my best for her. When her father took her from me he promised to keep her and Mrs Millership wrote and told me she would bring her up with her own little girl. I cannot understand when she got tired of her she did write to the B.G Union for my address. I should not like her sent to the schools. But it is such a long journey from her. I cannot afford it. it is 8 1/2 miles from Bromley Station. I am sorry to trouble you so much but should be pleased to hear what you think I had better do. An early reply will oblige. Yours truly, J.Buss.

---

B.l. School, Leytonstone
Sir, I have been informed that the Mr Millership you seek is living at 602 Leytonstone Rd, and on looking I find his name posted up thus:
Millership & son, Warehouse.
The house is a very nice one & I am sure must be rented at something like £60 or £70 per annum, & is not far from the school. (B.G.S). If this is really the man, he must certainly be deceiving to plead poverty as I hear he has done to the mother of his illegitimate children.
Have also heard that she hears from him from that address, and Mrs Buss sent for him from there when their child was supposed to be dying.
Yours respectfully
L.A.E. Buss

NOTES:
Aged 43 years 6 months on 1921 census, which means he was born late December 1877, or early January 1878. However, the only Avis found in the records for 1877-1878 in Suffolk, was born Aug 1877. Have concluded that this census information is misleading based on birth, 1939 Register, and death record that confirms him to be born 1877.
