Look Up Request Elizabeth Wells 1826
« on: Friday 31 August 07 20:10 BST (UK) »
Hi

Could anyone help me find out who the parents of Elizabeth Wells were born in or around 1826 in Gidding, Huntingdonshire.

Many thanks.

There's only one Elizabeth Wells of the right age in Hunts in 1841, age 15, born in Hunts, female servant,  living with the Wood family in Ripton Abbots, which is of no help in trying to identify her parents.

There's no baptism in Gt Gidding in the BVRI, but Little Gidding post 1812 is on neither the BVRI nor the IGI, but a transcription is available on fiche from Hunts FHS. Perhaps someone has it.

It always helps to give more detail, rather than adopting the minimalist approach! Do you know who she married for example? (The marriage cert will include her father's name). An aged parent might be living with her in later censuses.

HI

Thanks for that. All i know is she married Jabez Goddard in Bedford. I don't have any info on the marriage at all.

Thanks

The marriage of Jabez Goddard was in Bedford registration district in the June quarter 1846, vol 6 page 92, per http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

You'll get fathers' names from the certificate, which you can order online from the GRO, cost £7 - I can then check the Hunts Marriage Index for likely candidates - there was only one marriage in Gt Gidding, of Thomas Wells and Mary Arbour, in 1802, which seems a bit early, but they were living in Gt Gidding in 1841.
