No... Eliza was 63 in 1940 which makes her born in 1877. I am eager to hear your theory.You don't think that she may have been born abroad if her father was in the army?

So you think she knocked 10 years off her age when she married ?

But the ELIZA on 1901 is definatley 13 on census image and so born 1888 ish,just like Eliza says on her marriage cert.

I have a "Wild Theory" as our friend Janey would say, which I will explain in a short while,but back to feeding and thinking for now...

you,re being very helpful thanks
although Eliza from Aberbeeg has been listed as Elizabeth too on a different census. she is definately 1877 rather than 1887

Ok..
There is an Elizabeth Parfitt born 1875 AND an Eliza Parfitt born 1887

Births Dec 1887
PARFITT Eliza Pontypool 11a 146

And if she says on her marriage in 1940 that she was 63 then she is saying she was born in 1887ish not 1875ish.

I have looked at all the census data and I do believe that Eliza and Elizabeth are 2 different children.

There is a Chelsea pensioner record of a Thomas Parfitt who could well be her father who was born LLantrisant in 1869

Now how do I prove it.?

Let me think on it while feeding all at the homestead...

on her marr cert it states she is a spinster in 1940 and George is a widower

Edit...Still keep coming back to this one,its the only one that has any possibility of being her on Freebmd.

she married at 63 yrs and married George Henry Huntley 75yrs on 19th aug 1940 his address 15 heol las llantrisant her addres 17 heol las llantrisant in 1940. She has been documented as Amy Eliza on her marriage cert

Eliza Huntley died 20/02/1966 in cardiff Adeline st
george huntley was married previously to Emma and had 4 children Thomas, albert, robert and mary and lived in bedwellty 1871

1901

So George and Elizabeth/Amy would not have been able to marry anyway as he was already married elsewhere.

But on a second look I think that is a different George Huntley as he is still withMary Ann on 1911...


What does it say his occupation and age and fathers name and occupation is on his marriage to Elizabeth Parfitt..?
And when and where did he die?


Gotta go,back later.

I keep coming up with this for her birth,maybe Amy was added at baptism.

PARFITT Frederick C 79 Cardiff 11a 423


Im thinking she was born Tovey, married Fred and he died 1938. She then remarried Huntley

That would account for a very late marriage!
