Hi all
Would anyone be able to search for a birth record complete with mmn for either George (1836), James (1838), Thomas (1841) or Isaac (around 1844) Elsbury born around the Stapleton/St George's area of Bristol? Their parents are George Elsbury and Joannah (?). Joannah died in 1848, and I've never been able to find a marriage record for her and George. I've seen the Elsbury surname spelt Alesbury, Alsbury, Aylesbury, Ellsberry, Halsbury and quite a few more variations. Long shot but would finally break this brick wall!
Many thanks
Samuel

There was also a daughter Elizabeth with the “Alsbury” group in the Clifton workhouse in 1851, supposedly aged 4, but...
Elizabeth Aylesbury mmn Bailey, Sep qtr 1844 Clifton.

Thomas “Alsbury” was 4mo old in the 1841 census:
Thomas AMESBURY mmn Bailey, Jun qtr 1841 Clifton.

Reason for Joanna’s death, perhaps?
Birth: John Aylesbury, mmn Bailey, Dec qtr 1848 Clifton.
-
One who died young:
Louisa Aylesbury, mmn Bailey, Sep qtr 1846 Clifton
Likely death: Dec qtr 1846 Clifton.

Oh excellent stuff. This definitely looks like the children and the timeline fits with Joanna's death like you say. Thanks so much guys!

Interesting! I've found a marriage for an Edward Bailey and Elizabeth Wilkins in 1786 in Bristol and Edward Bailey and Elizabeth Harvey in 1789 in Stapleton. Edward and Elizabeth have quite a few children in Stapleton until 1797, at which point it dries up. However Johanna did marry in Stapleton. Possibly they moved away from the area and continued having children?
