Brinklow Baptism Elizabeth WOLFE 1812

[Pinetree]

Does anyone happen to have access to the Brinklow Parish Registers that could check out some information for me?

From census returns I know my ancestor Elizabeth WOLFE was born there in about 1811-1812.  On IGI there is a baptism for Elizabeth WOLFE on 12 April 1812 daughter of Solaman (sic) and Elizabeth WOLFE that would seem to fit but there also a date of death of 20 April 1817 on the entry.

I believe my Elizabeth married Joseph SMITH on 29 June 1829 in Dunchurch, Warwickshire but this is only from IGI and even the original record would probably not give father's name at that time.

If anyone could check out the original records for me to see if this is my lady I would be very grateful.

Hi there

there is also this one on IGI

ELIZABETH WOLFE -  Christening: 29 DEC 1816 Brinklow, Warwick, England
parents John and Ann
Could this be her instead,  not all christenings occurr in the birth year!

Best regards

Graham,

Thank you for your reply.

I hadn't picked up on that entry - I focused in on the first one too quickly 

It raises two possibilities that the 1816 Elizabeth is my lady - or even, sadly, it may have been the later Elizabeth that died in 1817 but the death entry was put with the earlier baptism by mistake.

Certainly needs some further investigation!

Thank you again for your interest

P.S.  My Elizabeth named her eldest son John and there were no Solomons in her brood of 10 as far as I know - not proof I know but certainly enough to make me wonder

Hi

do you have Eliz. and Joseph on the 1841 census?  if not, I think I've found them. Let me know if you want details.

Graham,

Yes I have 1841 but thank you for the offer.

I have Elizabeth on all of the census return except 1881 - she was widowed in 1880 and died in 1900.

I can't track her down in 1881 for some reason but the surname SMITH doesn't help

do you have the 1891 census details for her,  I'll then try have a look for her in 1881 for you.

Cheers
Graham

In 1891 she was still in Thurlaston, Coventry Road:

Census 1891, RG12; Piece: 2460; Folio 122; Page 15

If you could find her in 1881 that would be great.

Hi Pinetree

have some info - not very helpful though but explains why she can't be found, yet!! 

on Ancestry.co.uk 1881 census there is a 'Mrs Smith'  see ref: RG11/3081/128/2  - address: Coventry Rd, Thurlaston. 
No age given and occupation given as 'out visiting' - obviously when the enumerator called she was out and he must have asked a neighbour who lived there.  Don't know if you had found this out already!

I've tried searching for her as 'visitor'  but can't see her under that description, I don't  think so anyway.   There are a few Eliz. Smiths describes as mother-in-law however,  so if you have details of the men  any of her daughetrs may have married that may narrow down the search.

Regards
Graham

Thanks Graham,

I think that must be her.

I'll need to check out some of the mother-in-laws.
