Hartshorn family

[Lostris]

Maybe someone on here has access to Parish Baptism registers for Hookagate ? We could then see older kids of E & E ....

I do have a copy of a birth certificate for a daughter of William and Sarah Ann born October 1865 at Hookagate which was scanned some time ago.

I do have their daughter, Eliza's birth certificate. She was born 30th October 1865 at Hook-a-Gate to William and Sarah Hartshorn. I don't know anything about them and she disappears afterwards until she reappears in 1887 giving birth to my Granddad. Where was she and what was she doing?

Maybe this baptism:

William Hartshorn

Baptism: 24 Sep 1837

Place: Meole Brace, Shropshire

Father:Elijah, a collier
Mother:Elizabeth
Residence:Hook a Gate

[sgf28]

I think that William died in 1838 as an infant:

William Hartshorn
Birth: 1838

Age: 11M

Burial:30 Apr 1838
Meole Brace

Have found Hannah Hartshorn baptism who was born after William on June 13th 1839, Meole Brace.
There must be another William after this.

[sgf28]

Can't find any baptism for another William Hartshorn in Meole Brace up until 1845.

[sgf28]

If this is Elijah's and Elizabeth's marriage then there must be older children than the 14 year old on 1841 census:

Elijah Hartshorn
Elizabeth Easthope

25 Dec 1815
Meole Brace, Shropshire, England

 Will go and look

There's a Mary:

Mary Hartshorn
Gender    Female

Baptism:25 Sep 1824
Meole Brace, Shropshire

Father:Elijah
Mother:Elizabeth

Here is the birth certificate of Eliza - the only positive facts I have. She then "disappears" until 1887 when she gives birth to my Grandfather at Berrington Workhouse.
I am trying to find evidence which confirms the line of her father and mother and any siblings.
