Notes for John Bartram: Extract from Sanditon by Jane Austen Miss Beaufort would have found her harp more of an impediment, but she maganimously abandoned it and devoted herself to making the district more select by a parade of what she considered the very latest in seaside fashions. She had recently finished contriving a remarkable headgear -- a pattern of which had been sent by her particular friend, Miss Nicholls. This consisted of a Dunstable straw bonnet over a laced cap which boasted a detachable green silk eye-shade stiffened with wire. Miss Nicholls assured her this "seaside bonnet" was all the rage in Ramsgate -- she believed it had even originated in Brighton -- and although principally designed to protect the eyes from the sun and the hair from the wind, it had the further advantage of framing the face most becomingly. When seen at close quarters, it was a most fetching creation; but unfortunately Sidney Parker and Henry Brudenall remained at a distance and could only observe a stylish and ubiquitous figure promenading about in every variety of material which could be depended upon to billow attractively in the slightest breeze.
The details of the family are shown in the 1841 census. They appear to have lived at 116, The High St Dunstable. By the time of the 1851 census, we know that Jabez had married and emigrated, It seems that the father, John had died and the head of the household is shown as Elizabeth, although the mother Mary is still alive. Most of the family is shown as still being in the bonnet business
