Seeking the ancestors of Elijah Whittick (Whittuck)

[Muffin41]

Can anyone help me further? I am looking for the ancestors of Elijah Whittick (Whittuck) born in 1844 - 2q 1844 Bath 11 25.

Elijah Whittuck married OR lived with Sarah Speedy – I have not found a marriage in Somerset for them.
They had three children - Frederick William Whittick b 4q 1874 Bath 5c 622, James Whittick b 4q 1875 Bath 5c 608 and Elizabeth Whittick b 2q 1877 Bath 5c 641

Elijah Whittuck´s father may have married Frances Matilda Hughes, I have no confirmation for this marriage. Frances Matilda Whittick died in Bath 1889.

Now to see if I can find your Whittucks on census

[rosie99]

Elijah Whittuck´s father may have married Frances Matilda Hughes, I have no confirmation for this marriage. Frances Matilda Whittick died in Bath 1889.

I think that Frances Matilda that you have found dying in Bath is the one whose marriage I have posted, they are in Bath in 1881

Birth reg in 1844 gives mmn Hughes

I am not convinced that this is your Elijah. 

Whittuck children with mmn Hughes appear on census with parents Joseph W Whittuck and his wife Emily in Bath.  I can account for most of their children but the have an Edward A Whittuck age 16 bn Bath in 1861 who would match this registration.  Joseph Whittuck married Emily Hughes in Prescot, Lancashire in Sept qtr 1840 - Emily on census in Bath came from Prescot.

1881 has Elijah as born Holcombe, Somerset (age 40)
