Eliza Hitchcock baptised 1841 in Essex

[mirl]

Hi All,

Eliza Hitchcock was baptised 7 March 1841 somewhere in Essex to Henry Hitchcock and Martha Lawrence; familysearch has this indexed as Eliza Hicthcock while Ancestry has it indexed as Eliza Hidneack but neither shows the actual place in Essex.

Firstly, I would like to know where this baptism took place as I am trying to link this Eliza Hitchcock to the one who married Joseph Gillam at St Pancras 22 Dec 1867 giving her father as Henry deceased.  She gives her place of birth in subsequent census as Braintree Essex.  And she is buried 5 March 1906 at the age of 65.

And secondly, I would like to know anything that can be found about Henry and Martha as this is the only reference to them that I can find at present anywhere.

Many thanks, Mirl

GRO Index has the birth of Elizabeth Hitchcock  registered in Braintree in Dec Q 1840, mmn Claydon.
That's the closest match I can find for Eliza Hitchcock in Essex  in 1840-41.

From 1841. Possibly the daughter of John and Sarah of Great Saling, Braintree, so not yours

I have that too, but the parents there are John Hitchcock and Sarah Claydon.

That is very helpful, thank you Jonw65.  I will look at getting a download.

Coggeshall is in Braintree registration district; but then Great Coggeshall and Little Coggeshall are in Witham registration district.

Also very helpful, Kay99. I had a feeling the birth would be under Lawrence in either district so this 1841 census may just be the one.

GRO gives Eliza Elizabeth Lawrence 3/1841 Witham V12 p284 no mmn; so now a certificate to get.

Thanks to Amondg for the further info, this will help going forward and back.

And finally, good on Henry for acknowledging paternity so we could track him down.

I have spent the last four days on and off looking for Martha Lawrence, Henry Hitchcock and Eliza Lawrence/Hitchcock in 1851 and 1861 and cannot locate them. 

I have also looked for possible marriages and the closest I can get is a Martha Lawrence marrying Henry Pickering in Witham 1842 and moving to Coventry, but there is no Eliza with them in 1851.

Happy to look at anything anyone can suggest.
