I 'think' I have Eliza but so far I have not been able to find proof!!

Give me a few minutes and I will post up what I have and perhaps you could see if you can come up with something?

Firstly,

I 'think' this is Eliza on 1851.

Note, I have also marked Emily Wright - there may be no connection but the couple looking after him - Richard + Elizabeth Young on 1851 - Elizabeth's maiden name was Wright (I will add the marriage details here later):*** - added below*

NB There is an ELIZA WOOD age 27 at top of page - b Avely ?? Essex - Gen. Servant ??? - I think it is the same one??

*** Update added - this is not the same Eliza, but she is still in Middlesex as a servant - see page 3 of this thread where Lisa has found her and added the details ****

Well, it's all looking good to me. Is there a Robert Turner in Bocking, or perhaps Braintree?

Ozi.


Sorry, I've just been called,so I better see what the ruckus is about!!

This would seem a likely candidate for Robert, but again, it is all theory at the moment:

1851:
Robert Turner
Age: 18
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1833

Gender: Male

MIND YOU.........

If she got pregnant whilst away in Middlesex, this is a likely candidate also... (note he is born Braintree, AND he is a servant!! )

1851:
Robert Turner
Age: 21
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1830
Relation: Head
Gender: Male
Where born: Braintree, Essex, England

I don't know how near Whitechapel is to Islington but perhaps they knew each other from Essex?

Dea x

It is useful to note the Wood family living next door to the Young's + Robert on 1851!

I could not connect them directly to Eliza but they may well connect to Eliza's father William?


Thomas Word - should be WOOD !

Well done Dea. I think you've given Lisa a great deal to investigate.

Ozi.

Thanks Ozi,

It DOES all seem to fit but I DO like to find a bit of proof before I hand things over!! - I would hate for anyone to add the wrong people to their tree because of me!

Will keep looking for a connection!

Dea x

Nudged up for Lisa!

Dea x

thanks Dea,theres a lot to take in!!gonna take a few days to digest it all.will let you know how i get on.Kind regards Lisaxx

Hi Lisa,

Got LOTS more but still no proof!! - Will continuue to work on it - give me another nudge when you have taken it all in and I will see what I can come up with to connect it all.

Any help from anyone else would be greatly appreciated!!!
