Teresa - now that I've figured out what your PM was about and found the thread in question back on page 3 of "My Threads", I'm just gonna reply here. ;)

Teresa has received docs confirming the previous marriage we found, and says thanks.

You're welcome!

I certainly will. I am also going to a family party next month and there is someone who is a grandson of one of Evas brothers going, so I will ask him. Apparently, his grandad passed on a lot of old papers etc, so I will try and collar him. Thanks Ladies, a gold star to you all.

Elizabeth had a sister called Mariah. I dont know if younger or older.

Looks like!

Best idea seems to be to order up the birth cert for the birth June found. That should tell you her mother's name. Also the Neville+Bartlett marriage certificate, to make sure Eliza Neville = Eliza Smith.

And then come on back here and tell us the results!

Teresa

Teresa Report 1 Sep 2009 22:31

Wow it seems she was married before then. No one seems to have known this. The aunt did say tonight that James had been married before , but not Elizabeth. Maybe it was actually Elizabeth then?? You know how stories get muddled through the years?

Looks like that birth cert is the only likely source of info ... with a name like Smith!

But I think we've dunnit to there. ;)

Aha.

Marriages Dec 1888
NEVILLE Henry Billericay 4a 495
SMITH Eliza Charlotte Billericay 4a 495


Eliza/Elizabeth was previously married to Neville and married Bartlett as Neville?


A sadly brief marriage:

Deaths Mar 1890
Neville Henry 25 Billericay 4a 249

Well, I don't see her on the 1871! It's not that I hadn't looked ...

Teresa Report 1 Sep 2009 22:19

The first children of Elizabeth were born in 1890. There were James, Richard Lizzy and Eva was the youngest. I am positive they would have been married in Wickford

Teresa

Teresa Report 1 Sep 2009 22:17

The dates I have on Eva are: born in Jan 1903 in Wickford
Elizabeth was 34 on 1901 census.
So goong back, she was born around 1868ish, so her mother would surely show on a census around 1870??
Wickford is also sometimes coming under Billericay in Essex, for registrations in that area

JaneyCanuck Report 1 Sep 2009 22:17

Problem is ... there's no marriage in Essex of James Bartlett + Elizabeth Smith.

Do you have that info at all?
