Hi, I'm trying to find birth info for Godfrey Jelley, born c. 1791 in Tixover. I have no information on parents or siblings.
Godfrey married Eliza Cross in Gringley, Notts., in 1819. The family set up home in South Luffenham, where their first three children (that I know of) were born. Sometime between Oct 1826 and Sep 1838, they moved to Elton, Hunts. Godfrey was a farmer and miller. He died Dec 1864, presumably in Elton (death registered in Oundle).
One other thing: Godfrey and Eliza's first five children were all baptised at the Congregational church in Uppingham, so apparently as an adult he was not CoE. Whether his parents were independents also, I don't know.
Thank you for any help!
