elisha wakefield 1833- any siblings please?

[rachelralph]

i am looking for siblings of elisha wakefield born abt 1833 in leckhampstead. his parents were jane and richard wakefield.

i have a 1841 census in which there is only richard and son elisha. jane died in abt 1841. if elisha was the only one living at home still in 1841 then i have to assume if he had any siblings they would be older than him by a few years.

many thanks

Hi
There is a Elijah Wakefield baptised in Beedon Berks 12 feb 1832 to Richard and Jane, is that him?
If so he had a sister Harriet baptised 16 mar 1834. There is also a Hannah baptised 1829 to Richard and Jane, that is Cheveley. All this on Familysearch

thanks for replying, my knowledge of berkshire is not good. i have no idea where any of these counties are?! i am off now to google the area!

just had another look at my tree and in 1841 aged 8 elisha and his father were living in beedon, so i think that baptism must be right. so harriett is right too

im not sure about hannah though, i might need to look for the marriage of richard wakefield. i think his wife was jane chapman according to other trees. maybe if they got married in cheively then hannah may be their child too

great

My knowledge of Berkshire places is also poor so I'm glad it was the right place!

[rachelralph]

yay spot on with hannah too i would think, richard and jane married in chievley in may 1829 and hannah was jun 1829 so it may have been a rush marriage lol

I've got quite a few of those weddings too!!

[rachelralph]

at least they had the decentcy to marry i have lots who just didnt bother lol! nowadays not so much a bad thing i suppose but back then they must have suffered if they didnt marry
