Jeffs from Ellesborough
« on: Wednesday 21 November 07 15:52 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm searching for info on the Jeffs family of Ellesborugh and, in particular, for a birth/baptismal record of my great-great-grandmother, Adelaide Jeffs, who according to her census returns was born in Ellesborough or Butler's Cross around 1820. I know from the census that her mother was called Mary and was widowed by 1841, and from Adelaide's marriage certificate that her father was called John.

I have scoured microfiche of the Ellesborough parish records, but although I found many Jeffses living in Ellesborough, I can find no record of Adelaide's baptism. I did, however, find in the Prince's Risborough Nonconformist records a Ruth Jeffs, born in 1819 to John Jeffs and his wife Mary (nee Carter) of Ellesborough, whom I'm assuming is a sibling.

I'd love to hear from anyone else who is researching Jeffses in this area.

I'd also love to receive any suggestions of where else I might search for records of Adelaide's birth or baptism.

If I have the right Mary Jeffs in Ellesborough, it looks as though some of her children were born in Cublington.

There is a new-fangled IGI "I" batch for Cublington and other parishes, showing a baptism with parents John and Mary Jeffs (Ann Jeffs, 1813).  However, at time of writing, the IGI won't let me check the full batch.  No Adelaide, though.

Ah, that would make perfect sense as, according to her census return, Mary was born in Cublington.

Thank you very, very much for the lead.

Thanks, Sylvia.

The 1841 census return is my woman. The 1850 death isn't (my one was going strong well into her 90s). Many thansk fro pasing the info on, though.
