Tracing Jellyman in Staffordshire
« on: Saturday 12 May 18 17:48 BST (UK) »
Hello all - really hope I'm posting in the right section.

Can anyone help me in tracing the following people?

Apologies in advance for the information overload - I wanted to be as helpful and informative as possible. Hope it all makes sense.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Eliza Jellyman, born 1858 in Calf Heath, Cannock. Sometimes referred to as Elizabeth.

Birth reg:
1st quarter 1858 in Penkridge

Marriage - 1877 in Gailey:

Elizabeth Jellyman, age 20, spinster of Calf Heath, dau of Charles Jellyman, farmer.
Eliza gave her mark. Robert signed his name.
Witnesses: George Brown & Phoebe Bills

Marriage reg:
1st quarter 1877
Penkridge
Vol 6B
Pg 535
Line 227

Cannot find Eliza and Robert living together after their marriage. I did, however, come across the censuses below.

1881 census:
Living in Wedges Mills, Cannock, Staffordshire:
George Winchurch, age 29, ironworks lab, born Dudley
Elizabeth Winchurch, age 24, born Calf Heath

1891 census:
Living at 8 Southwood Street, Alvaston & Boulton, Derbyshire:
George Winchurch, age 39, gas reverser, born Dudley
Elizabeth Winchurch, age 35, born Cannock
Alice Winchurch, age 5, scholar, born Ilkeston
William Winchurch, age 1, born Newtown

1901 census:
Living at 61 Allestree St, Alvaston & Boulton, Derbyshire:
George Winchurch, age 49, forge lab, born Dudley
Elizabeth Winchurch, age 43, born Cannock
Alice Winchurch, age 15, servant, born Ilkeston
William Winchurch, age 11, born Derby
Ann Maria Winchurch, age 8, born Derby
William Winchurch, age 37, forge lab, born Dudley

1911 census:
Living at 29 Beverley St, Osmaston, Derbyshire:
Elizabeth Winchurch, age 53, born Calf Heath
Anna Winchurch, age 18, french polisher, born Derby
William Winchurch, age 21, foundry lab, born Derby

Elizabeth listed widow. William must have written the census as he signs bottom right.

Death reg:
4th quarter 1937
Loughborough
Vol 7A
Pg 168
Line 66

Eliza's sister Priscilla married George's brother James Winchurch in 1885, and Eliza giving her birthplace as Calf Heath makes me inclined to believe that the Eliza Jellyman who married Robert Richard Evans is the same Eliza who is later living as George Winchurch's wife.
However, I cannot find a death reg for Robert Richard Evans or a marriage reg for Eliza and George.
