Bedfordshire Lookup Requests / Re: Toddington Burials/Baptism Lookups - Ellis
« on: Friday 29 December 23 12:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
Sorry it has taken so long to contact you. I have only just seen your search request
James Ellis 1760-1834 was my Great x4 Grandfather via his son James 1792-1854
His Grandson William moved to London
I have a full history
Very happy to help you, are you a relation
Yours
Rob Armstrong

Thank you  :)

I wonder who Joseph was to warrant two of the boys having the name.

The first child with a Joseph christian name died in infancy under a year old.

In looking for where Thomas was prior to his marriage in 1808

I have always thought that the opening of Grand Union Canal - Paddington Basin in 1801
was important. As it would have provided much new employment and perhaps greatly added to the population of the Lisson Grove area of Marylebone.
Thomas could have moved into the area at thet time...but I have no evidence whatsoever to support this!!

What names did Thomas & Sarah give their children.  What were the first names of Sarah's parents.

Have I missed a post that gives Thomas's occupation  :-\

Childrens names: Thomas, Henry Joseph, James, Sarah Ann, Samuel Joseph and John
Sarah's Parents: Edward and Sarah (nee Allen), they came from Kidderminster
Thomas's 'Occupation': Labourer or Carter

Rest assured I have tried over many many years to find Thomas in the 1851 Census....to no avail

He died at 25 Little James Street, Marylebone on 4th November 1859. The death was witnessed by his daughter-in-law Elizabeth Armstrong who lived at 6, Little James Street

Re John Yates the witness to the 1808 marriage
I see there is a John Yates (labourer) in the 1841 Census living in Little James Street, Marylebone
the same Street as Thomas and other members of his family

7
The James and Thomas in the 1851 Census are Thomas's sons

The 1808 Marriage Parish Register entry states them to be Bachelor and Spinster
The names/signatures/Marks of the witnesses are illegable and from what I can decipher they don't look of interest
The only strange thing on the Marriage Parish Record entry is that Thomas signed his own name.
I would have expected to see a 'Mark' as the area of Marylebone where he lived was very poor

I can't find him in the 1851 Census, I know there is a Thomas Armstrong at the Greenwich Hospital which I know is not him

What info do you need from the Death Certificate? Happy to oblige but..
I can't see how that helps as to where he was pre 1808?
