Notes

In the 1851 census, Laurentia's sister, Amelia Buschman, 48, also born in 'Surinam West Indies' is recorded in the Charles Stewart household.

Was Laurentia sister to Caroline Buschman (daughter of John Buschman, esq. of Surinam) who married Richard Hardinge Stewart, esq. at St. Pancras in 1826 - and names two daughters Laurentia and Amelia? Richard Hardinge Stewart appears to have been a close friend of her brother-in-law William Tillotson and the family in general.
See 'The Richard Hardinge Stewart Connection' in Samuel's page.

In the 1861 census
Amelia Buschman, 57, Governess, born: abt 1804, in 'Surivam', United States
is livimg in the household of Richard and Sarah Lane in Lindfield, Sussex.
Amelia Buschman died, aged 65, in Kensington, in 1868. (See GRO below)

Other Buschman Records

In the 1841 census, a Buschman family is living in Kensington. Could they be relations? or is it possibly just an interesting coincidence!

The members of that household are:

• Charles Buschman, born abt 1791, in 'Foreign Parts' (too young to be Laurentia's father)
• Sarah Buschman, born abt 1811, in 'Foreign Parts' (could be a sister - but is she daugher to Charles?)
• Martha Johnson, born abt 1806, in Middlesex
• Mary Matchwell, born abt 1801, in Middlesex
• Jane Reeve, born abt 1801, in Middlesex
