Well done Mike !

fwiw I did try searching Samuel last night but my mind was numb, out of practice I guess, thanks. So now she's born 1864 again, conveniently still under age 30 !

Here they are in 1911 Census, still near Drybrook, at Puddlebrook in four room household;
Name Relation to Head Birth Date Age Gender Marital Status Years Married Occupation Birth Place
Samuel Burgum Head 1861 50 Male Married 30 Colliery Work Coal Hewer Little Dean, Gloucestershire
Lucy Burgum Wife 1872 39 Female Married Assisting Husband Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire
George Burgum Son 1887 24 Male Single Helps Father Hereford, Herefordshire
Mary Ann Burgum Daughter 1895 16 Female Single Helps Mother Hereford, Herefordshire
Harriet Burgum Daughter 1897 14 Female Single Helps Mother Hereford, Gloucestershire

So Drusilla/Lucy is still struggling to get past the 30/40/50 age "barriers" ;-)
now born about 1872 !!??

Please note I've just amended my earlier post to add/clarify Samuel Jr and Selina's burials, in case you're looking.

Meanwhile here is Drusilla's death record;

Funny how ladies seem to want to be OLDer than they really are as they enter their twilight years, seen this a few times !

And her burial PR at last (I foolishly kept forgetting she'd become a Burgham, after all the John/Johns?etc searches.)

Finally I think, for completeness having accidentally found it, here is Samuel "Senior" with his parents on the 1871 Census at Hinders lane, so the same Cinderford St Stephen address as the 1881 Census posted earlier.
