Ada Isabel Lewin, Catworth b1887

[Kay99]

FreeBMD lists the birth of an Ada Isabel Lewin in St Neots June qtr 1887 but the reference number is rather faded

Thanks Kay. I can now see it on Freebmd but it's not on Ancestry which is where I'd looked originally.

Hi, I've sent off for the marriage cert for Ada's Mum (Eliza Lewin) I did notice that the names mentioned where Luff, Lewin & Pryke, Wondering if Pryke was her Maiden name? found her younger sister Ethel who was born 10 months before Lewin/Luff marriage and although she has a Luff surname wondered if she was actually a Lewin....?

[Kay99]

I am not sure where Pryke comes from on the reference to the marriage of Stephen Luff and Eliza Lewin, but there does appear to be a Eliza Pryke in the 1871 and 1881 of the right age born in Bythorn - Below in 1881 living at Church End, Great Catworth with her family.

George Pryke    58 Bricklayer b Suffolk
Emma Pryke    35 b Lowick
George Pryke    18
Eliza Pryke    13
Martha Pryke    11
Alfred Pryke    6
Walter Pryke    1
All children born Bythorne, Huntingdon

It will be interesting to hear whether the marriage cert lists her as a Widow.  I can't see a marriage for an Eliza Pryke to a Lewin at the moment

Ethel may have been registered as a Luff before her parent's marriage as she was the child of Stephen Luff.

Thanks again Kay, I'll let you know as soon as the Cert comes.....

Hi Kay,
My certificate arrived today and it says :- 1890 Catworth, Eliza Lewin, 22, Widow, Father George Pryke deceased, So that clears things up  for me. Just got to find a Pryke/Lewin marriage or a Lewin Death/Burial

[Kay99]

Thanks for letting us know and at least it confirms it is Eliza Pryke.  I still can't see a marriage or obvious death.  I wonder if Ada's birth cert actually lists her father?
