Find Ancestors

at last im getting somewhere with it after going through my tree i have found one of my searles & after a bit of research found she married john seaward one of their children was robert seaward he married hannah batten {this is on this thread} they are the parents of elizabeth that married absalom chappel will now try to match my great grandmother eliza searle to them as elizabeth chappel was her death informant & she is stated as being a cousin
will keep you informed of any updates to this
thank you again
update
my 5x great grandfather william searle 1703 offwell devon is the father of hannaniah searle born 1733 seaton devon
her daughter
mary searle 1775 beer devon married john seaward born devon 1729 they had a son robert seaward b devon 1802 robert & his wife hannah batten b 1800 devon had a daughter elizabeth born beer devon 1830 she married absalom chappel
so my great grandmother eliza searle beer devon 1847 is connected to them
sorted at last
thank you

my mistake the cert actually spells chappel this is correct

julie ok thank you
will give up on this too soon but checking further before i do
thank you all anyway

Uh David, your post at 19:26 says you got the marriage certificate and Elizabeth Seaward married Absalom Chapple (spelled Chappel incorrectly).

I give up cos think I'm just complicating things - I'll leave you two to it!!!!

so its elizabeth seaward chapple ??

Hold on, are we really interested in Elizabeth Turner who married Oldridge?

I thought it was Elizabeth Chapple we were concerned with. Elizabeth Turner is just the other person on the page.

this does get confusing hope its not confuisng for others
julie
yes it appears that she did marry timothy thomas oldridge 1853

I'll make a start!


The persons of interest were intially these two women

Elizabeth (Seaward) Chapple, cousin, was present at the death of Eliza (Partridge) Searle.


But I went off on the wrong tangent because it looked like Elizabeth Turner, the other bride, was closely connected with Partridges.

So the initial question was, what was the connection between Elizabeth (Seaward) Chapple and Eliza (Partridge) Searle?

can we have a re-cap on the facts please - too much to follow and I'm confused?

Fanny Partridge born 1792 - Seaton & Beer, Devon
had daughter Elizabeth b 1829?

Was Elizabeth's father Robert Turner? Did Fanny marry Turner or anyone else that we know of?

Did Elizabeth possibly then marry Timothy Thomas Oldridge in 1853?

hopefully the odds will turn into my favour soon with this
i will carry on with this maybe someone whose not busy with thier own work will help with this
thank you anyway

Well it was even odds on the Elizabeths, lol.

I am having to save my concentration for work today but I'll look in later in the week!

so need to trace details of fanny partridge 1792 seaton & beer devon
her daughter elizabeth b 1829 devon her father robert turner
& a poss marr to timothy thomas oldridge in 1853 axminster

bruceabt 1959
here we go
today i got the marr cert for absalom chappel
it reads as follows
parish church seaton & beer county devon
may 15th 1853 absalom chappel 21 batchelor fisherman beer father james chappel shoemaker
elizabeth seaward 24 spinster lace maker beer father robert seaward labourer
x the mark of absalom chappel x the mark of elizabeth seaward
witnesses x the mark of frances lane x silas chappel
so he did not marry elizabeth turner as you thought he may have
but i have frances lane on my tree [as you see she was a witness }
she is the daughter of jacob lane 1776 - 1846 beer devon
& mary buston c 1786 - 1875 beer devon
so wondering what frances lanes connection is to the bride & groom

i will phone them in the morning
thanks again
hi again phoned this morning told there is a chance that they will send it out anyway so fingers crossed

I am not an expert at GRO matters but can you send an email or ring them to try to clear up the confusion? just in case.

as i have the vol & page no will that help

oh dear i did not spell it correctly i spelt it as chapple not as chappel
will hope its ok

hi
yes i used the correct spellings absalom chapple ive ordered it now on line from southport
yes of course i i add the details to the thread of the marr cert says will be despatched jan 5th will keep you informed

You're welcome and please do bring the marriage details back to the thread when you get them! I can't seem to find another Elizabeth Turner for us in 1841 or 1851 so I am skeptical about the wonders I have worked lol.

I found Timothy Oldridge in 1861 with his wife Elizth born 1829 in Colyton so I suspect he married the Seaward and Absolom Chapple married the Turner but even that we can't be sure of yet. I will look forward to the secrets the marriage certificate reveals and hopefully not have to give back those thanks, lol.

Oh and I looked at the image for the marriage and it does say ABSALOM CHAPPEL in the index so be sure to use those spellings.
