Elizabeth Gimson. Narborough

[Annie65115]

Copy of a death certificate, dated 9 November 1842

The deceased was John Jayes, FWK aged 62, of Enderby, and the death occurred in Enderby.

The informant was Elizabeth Gimson, sister, present at the death, Narborough.

I can't work out who Elizabeth actually was. I can't confirm her in the 1841 census and I can't find any Jayes/Gimson marraiges.

I'm mindful of a few potential problems:
Jayes is only one potential spelling of this family's surname, I've also seen Jay, Jey, Jays, Jeys, Jeyes, Jeayes
Elizabeth could have been a widow when she married Mr Gimson
She might not be a birth sister to John Jayes, but a sister in law or something else instead.

can anyone help me find her? It would help me identify whether this is "my" John Jayes!

Muchas gracias

In 1851 there is an Elizabeth Gimson aged 67 (i.e. bc.1784), born Enderby, living alone but shown as Marr. - Charwoman - and think she died in 1855.

She was living in Meeting Lane, Narborough and next door but one to an Obed Jayes and family (on the same page).    Ref. HO107 - 2081 - 332 - 7.

A John Jayes is a witness at the marriage of Joseph Gimson to Elizabeth Kenney

[Annie65115]

Do you have more details of that marriage, Willsy?--- date, place, any other witnesses etc? (Bride's name would be fabulous but I'm sure too much to ask in that era!)

[willsy]

I am so sorry I did not see your reply and and am hanging my head in shame as it was the marriage
of John Gimson Widower to Elizabeth Kenney that I noticed a John Jayes as a witness, the other witness is George Heighton but thought he might be a church warden.

John signs the register which I thought might help
