1841 Census George born 1816 abt and Wife Emma living in Chipping Ongar with 2year old Eliza but cannot find them again in 1851 census - I have them back in 1861 living in Herman Hill no sign of Eliza but with loads of other children. Any suggestions as to where he went between 1841 and 1861?!

There is this death, but it doesn't say how old she was Eliza Wood Year of Registration: 1845 Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun District: Ongar County: Essex Volume: 12 Page: 142 linda

oh no, I found her on the NBI, so it isn't yours 11 May 1845 Eliza WOOD 5m Essex High Ongar, St Mary the Virgin Back to the drawing board Linda

Hi there, could this be the Eliza your looking for? Name: Eliza Wood Age: 22 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1839 Relation: Servant Gender: Female Where born: Chipping Ongar, Essex, England Civil parish: Leyton Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: West Ham Sub-registration district: Leyton ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 108 MichelleX

What is the NBI? Are you sure its not the Eliza I am looking for?

Sorry Kathryn I should have added this is the 1861 Census Michelle

could well be the Eliza I am looking for as it fits with the other relatives. Would that be on the 1851 census or later? Any news of the George and Emma Wood that I have lost?

I'm pretty sure this is them. The image is really poor though - what do you think? Name: George Ward Age: 34 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1817 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Emily Gender: Male Where born: Angers, Essex, England Civil parish: Wanstead County/Island: Essex Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: West Ham Sub-registration district: Leyton ED, institution, or vessel: 1a Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 27 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Ward 6 Elizah Ward 17 Emily Ward 36 Emily Ward 2 Frances Ward 9 George Ward 34 George Ward 4 Richard Ward 9 William Ward 7

That is so clever - I never thought to look for Ward! I will double check and see if this could be the other siblings! Tks for that! How did you do this so quickly?!

Actually not that quick. I am also researching a Wood family and quite a few of mine have been transcribed as Ward. Lyla

NBI is the National burial index. lists burials by church, well ones which have been transcribed. It couldn' be your Eliza is she is 5 months old at death Linda

Lyla just to confirm that information is correct - I now have to find what happened to Frances and Elizabeth - if those are the correct names. I am able to follow the family through to the 1861 census now and have even got William and Richard married and George (son) as a widower!
