Lympsham Baptismal/Marriage Record for Eliza Sealy

[youwho]

Hi Folks

I'm looking for a baptismal record for Eliza Sealy born in Lympsham around 1835 just wondering if anyone has access to the parish records and would be kind enough to have a look for me, and let me know the details.

She married John Sampson in Dec 1/4 1864 Registration district Axbridge could you be kind enough to see if there is a copy of the marriage entry in the parish record and let me know the details

Any information will be much appreciated

many thanks

Hi There

Ive had a look on free bmd no joy & also free reg a MAR in Weston but the brides parent names don't fit - Im in Weston library where there are a few sets of fiche for Lympsham registers but see no point in searching them as someone else has already looked for the marriage & had no luck.

Good luck with this as it could be hard as there are a lot of ways of spelling Eliza's surname which could make her dificult to trace.

have you tried searching the 1841 & 51 census's for her as she should be with her parents on both, unless she was in service in 1851 & not living at home

Good hunting

All the very best

Hi,

I have researched a part of this family in the past and the name is often under Mogg or Sealy Mogg.  The 1841 and 1851 census entries for Eliza are under Mogg although she married as a Sealy.

It could be that they married in a Register Office and therefore would not appear in the church records.

At least, it is another avenue to search.

Hi Folks

I think I have found the marriage on FreeBMD 1864 Dec 1/4 Axbridge  District 5c 1094, John Sampson & Eliza Sealy, their son Henry John is giving me a few headaches, I believe he is the father of my Cousin's (once removed) grandmother, Elsie Sampson b 1896, on her birth certificate, Father is Harry Sampson, mother Mary Ann formally Williams, but I cannot find a marriage entry for this couple, Henry married Honor Day in 1907, their first child Edith was illegitimate born in 1906 my cousin said her grandmother Elsie always said Edith was her half sister. I believe this to be true as on the Short service record of Elsie's brother Reginald b 1894, his next of Kin is written Elsie Sampson sister, this has been crossed out and Hanna Sampson Mother has been entered, Honor and Hannah sound very similar, which makes me think Honor is their stepmother, who married
Henry Sampson in 1907, there is a death record for Mary Ann Sampson Dec 1/4 1906.

The only marriage entry I can find for a Mary Ann Williams is to a William Henry Sampson in 1893 at Bristol, Yes this could be the Harry on Elsie's birth certificate, and a Mary Ann Sampson died in 1906, but I can't find a William Henry marrying  a Hannah/Honor. (Henry John did have a brother William b 1875)

On the 1911 census Henry Sampson is with his wife Honor, children Edith, Laura and Henry, unfortunately Elsie was in hospital at that time, and Reginald was in the workhouse.

My cousin certainly remembers a Laura as well as Edith as she sent xmas cards to Edith.

I said it is complicated, my conclusion at this moment is Henry Sampson lived with Mary Ann saying they were married, therefore the birth certificate of Elsie looks like they were married, he left Mary  with 2 children, to live with Honor Day then after Mary Ann died in 1906, he married Honor in 1907, I did think of getting the marriage cert for Henry and Honor to see what his martial status says, probably widower, but I wouldn't really be any the wiser as anyone can say anything to a registrar/vicar on the details of a certificate.

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated, as at the moment I feel I can't see the wood for the trees.

Thanks for reading my ramblings

Hi There

Axbridge was a very big district so if you get any more info as to what you think the parish may be then post it & I'll have a look at the parish registers if they are held by the library where I'm one of the volunteer researchers

All the very best

Phil

ps most of North Somerset registers are held

All the very best
