Barby
« on: Thursday 16 May 19 21:41 BST (UK) »
Hi folks,
I have two ancestors both who claim to have been born in Barby, Northamptonshire on several censuses.
I have found no parish records for their births or baptisms. I believe the mother is Elizabeth Peasnell born 1820 and her daughter Eliza Viles (Voiles, Vyles, Vials) born 1838. How to get past this brick wall? Any suggestions are welcome.
Many thanks.

Perhaps she was originally named Rebecca?  This is in the right registration district and I can't see a death for this child.

Do you have this marriage cert?  It will at least give you a father's name for Elizabeth Snr.

There's an entry on the 1841 Census for Barby for the household of a Samuel Peasnall.

There's him aged 65, wife Elizabeth aged 60, son Joseph aged 25

Then there's a Mary aged 5, an Elizabeth aged 30, both apparently surnamed Peasnall, and at the bottom, a John Voiles aged 4.

John was baptised in 1836 in Barby, son of Charles and Elizabeth Voile. No sign of an Elizabeth born 1838, though. and no sign of an Elizabeth born to Samuel and Elizabeth Peasnall thirty years earlier, either.

Samuel Peasnal and Elizabeth White had 8 children all born/baptized at Barby. But no baptism record of another daughter Elizabeth Peasnal born about 1820 Barby. That is the puzzle.

Also no record of their granddaughter Eliza Voiles (Vials) born/baptized about 1838 Barby.
