Hi all,
This is to update the Liew/Lew/Lieu research on this thread.
BURIALS;
St Margaret, Chipstead
LIEW;
ELIZABETH 13 Oct 1702, Widow. Died, 12th. Was wrapt in Woollen. Age 81
I am now almost certain that Thomas & Elias were brothers and sons of the Elizabeth above.
Elizabeth b 1620/21 died 1702 (Age 81) (Probably married sometime between 1640 -55.
Thomas born circa 1655/60 married Anna circa 1680 with offspring as noted in my OP.
Anc has a Marriage where the males spouses christian name is missing from the register;
26 Feb 1691
Marriage Place: Saint James Dukes Place, London, London
- LEWES to Sarah BARNES
The above marriage is not the correct one, I have since found the correct marriage for Elias and Sarah.
Elias b circa 1660 married (as Elias Lew) Sarah Blaze (b 1663/64 - died aged 86 in 1750) on 22nd June 1693 at St James, Dukes Place, Aldgate, London.
Elias and Sarah had ten children as follows (all born and baptised at Chipstead, Surrey):
Elias Liew (1694 - 1694)
Thomas Liew (1695/96 - ?)
John Liew (1695/96 - ?)
Sarah Liew (1697 - 1699)
Elias Liew (1699 - ?)
Mary Liew (1701 - ?)
Benjamin Liew (1701 - ?)
Sarah Liew (1703/04 - ?)
Mabel Liew (1705/06 - ?)
Judeth (Judith) Liew (1707 - ?)
I am however, still missing Thomas & Anna's marriage.
Elias's will dated 14th January 1734/35 and proved 26th January 1737 mentions the following people:
Sons Thomas, John & Benjamin (described as 'my third son').
Jude (Judith?) Woodward & her daughter Nanny Woodward.
Daughters Betty & Sarah.
Son of Mabel King.
Daughter of Betty (I think the surname is Hayley?)
Daughter Mary's boy (Unnamed).
Son Thomas's youngest son Elias.
What happened to the second Elias b 1699? Was he dead by this time?
I haven't found a baptism for a daughter Elizabeth/Betty, I didn't actually know of her existence until reading the will!
Finding the marriages and the children mentioned in the will should keep me occupied for a while I suppose!
Kind regards
David
