Catherine Sandys, I WILL find out where you went.

Hi cinzano
Have you found Eliza and Jane on the 1881 census, if so can you post the reference.

Eliza was my GGGM on my mother's maternal side. She died in Cambridge in about 1909.
She had a daughter Matilda who was born illegitimately in 1874 -- she was my GGM who I remember fondly. She lived and died in Kirtling - about 6 miles from Newmarket.
Eliza married Jabez Stubbings in 1879 - they had no children - he died in 1887. She then married William Pledger late in 1888, and they had 2 children. William died in 1892. She then married William Howe - a widower- in late 1893, and they had one daughter. William died in 1813. One of William's children to his first wife Elizabeth Pledger was called Charley. He married Matilda and was my GGF whom I vaguely remember as a very small child.
I have not been able to prove a link between William and Elizabeth Pledger, but in a small village like Kirtling there was bound to be a family connection going back no more than a couple of generations.
I do hope I've not confused the heck out of you -- it took me some time to work out all the links - but I'm happy to report there are no first cousin marriages on that side of the family.

My Eliza was born in Cowlinge, Suffolk -- a small village about 4 miles from Kirtling where her first husband lived, Cambs. Her parents were William Starling and Matilda Martin - also of Cowlinge. All of the related families were either farm labourers or in domestic service.
It is a very rural part of the country -- well away from major routes -- and almost of the members of her extended tree for a couple of generations lived within a 10 mile radius of Kirtling.
As far as I know Eliza only had one illegitimate child -- my GGM Matilda Starling. The 1881 census shows theStubbings household consisting of Jabez, Eliza, Arthur Stubbings (Jabez' nephew) age 14 and Matilda age 7.
I think you can safely rule my Eliza out of your tree.
