• Census » Slide Show		1891 England Census Eliza Augusta Waller is 15 and her sister Olive Rowena Waller, 14, are both at boarding school in Cheshire, England.
  		1911 England Census It is four years since George married to Eliza Augusta Waller. They are living on Tadworthy Road in North Devonshire - a beautiful rural area. He is 42 and signs the census as GO Bigge Major Royal Engineers. It notes his Punjab birth and that he is British by parentage. Eliza, of course, was born in Dublin and their daughter, four year old Peggy, was born in Africa. They also have a 'nurse domestic' living with them.
  		1901 Irish Census - Prior Park In 1901 Eliza Augusta and Ada Maud have taken residence in Prior Park, Tipperary. They live with their Aunt Jane Selina Waller. All three are spinsters. In five years Eliza will be married to George and leaving for South Africa. The census is signed by, but not filled in with his information, a Joceyln Waller. At a later point somebody added Wm (William) to his name. I'm not yet sure exactly which 'Joceyln Waller' this is.
