I think, as a very frightened young boy, he mumbled 'Atcham' and the person taking the details had never heard of the place and assumed he said 'Chatham'.
Eliza did move to Ashby de la Zouch and married and Grandfather did visit her there.

Most inconsiderate of her to die before the 1911 Census    ;)

It is I suppose. She really had a terrible life and was, for ,most of the time, completely on her own.

If Eliza got married in Ashby de la Zouch, would it not be easier to confirm who her father was on the marriage certificate..unless she doesn't name him of course :-\

By the time Eliza married her mental health was going downhill very fast. She gave her father's name as 'Joseph' a collier. She in fact married a Joseph and her information, while never very accurate, was quite untrustworthy at this time. Within five years, after two stays in a mental asylum, she was dead.

Do you know who the Joseph she married was and when? Any little clue may help to work this one out :)

Eliza Hartshorn who married in Ashby in 1906 looks like she married Abraham Hill :-\

sorry, didnt recall that well !  - altho I am sure an Eliza Hill aged 43 dies in 1911 - which matches the age that the OP gave earlier !
