Sorry census should read 1861

[sirsimon]

Thanks everyone for the help

 

[sirsimon]

one more question.

Eliza Steel, whom married James Edward Prettyman, her mother according to the census was Eliza Steel as well, born 1779 in Suffolk.

Could someone help find out more about Eliza Steel's father?

my thanks

[The Yokel]

James and Eliza's marriage Certificate (see link on reply #7) gives her fathers name as Samuel Steele

[sirsimon]

Yes, I actually found that out yesterday shortly after we speak. Thank you

[sirsimon]

Would anyone know whom was the mother of James Edward Prettyman? It was either Sarah Berwick or Mary Ann Mills and I am not sure which one. The marriage to Eliza Steele would have given an indication of the mothers identity based on his age. However his age is given as full

[The Yokel]

From his age stated on the 1861 and 1871 census', he was born in 1816

These Christenings are on Familysearch, Southwick, Sussex, to SAML/SAMUEL and ELIZABETH Steel;
SAML, 14 July 1805
STEPHEN, 14 Jan 1810
WILLIAM, 16 Dec 1812
JAMES 3 Jan 1815

The more I look at this the more I am confused.

Samuel Steel born c 1828 is not likely to be the Son of Elizabeth Steel born c 1779, or she would be 49 when he was born , not impossible but unlikely.

1851 Census has a Elizabeth STEEL born c 1779 Clopton, Suffolk, living with her Son in Woodbridge, Suffolk
HO107/1801/619/24
Her Son is John LEOM born c 1807 Burgh, Suffolk

Now a John LOOM was Christened to ELIZABETH Loom 21 Nov 1807, Burgh, Suffolk
And a Elizabeth LOOM Married Samuel STEEL 08 Dec 1818, Bredfield, Suffolk

See my confusion!
