Eliza Hitchcock baptised 1841 in Essex

[Kay99]

The marriage in Witham in 1842 is to Henry Pickering but the couple in 1851 have the husband listed as George Pickering     https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SGZ2-ZKC

The couple who married in 1842 had one child that I can see but I can't see him post the birth reg

George Pickering b 1843 wasn't with his parents in 1851 but this looks like a possible burial - so could he have been elsewhere with sister Eliza in 1851??

Hi Kay,

Yes, that is about as far as I got too, except that I think young George died in 1849 aged 6.

[Kay99]

Oh dear     

You will probably already have have discounted this but in the 1851 ceneus I keep coming back to an Eliza Hitchcock age 9  b Rayne Essex who was living in the Braintree Workhouse with a Charlotte Hitchcock 49 also born Rayne

I have seen that before and discounted it but will need to have another look I think

Hopefully not relevant but there's a burial for:

 Eliza Lawrence at Gt Coggeshall, age 1 - "brought from the Union"

Was that on 1 Apr 1842?

There are four Eliza Lawrence births registered in Witham between 1840 and 1843, namely; Eliza 9/1840, Eliza 3/1841, Eliza Elizabeth 6/1841 and Eliza Lavinia 6/1843

Three of them die in the same period Eliza 6/1841 age 0, Eliza 3/1842 age 1, Eliza Lavinia 12/1843 age 0.  By my calculation they die in their order of birth, except for Eliza Elizabeth which is the one I think is my Eliza Hitchcock.

Apart from the baptism of Eliza Hitchcock with father Henry and mother Martha Lawrence in March 1841 and the marriage of Eliza Hitchcock with father Henry in December 1867 there doesn't appear to be anything else to connect father, mother and daughter.

I have spent a fair bit of time looking at this and am ready to accept that the Elizabeth Hitchcock born 25 Oct 1841 and baptised 13 Jan 1843 to Charlotte Hitchcock in Braintree is the right one.

The 1851 Census reference of them being in Braintree Workhouse is therefore correct.

I have a possible reference in 1861 Census at 6 Bowman Place Islington for an 18yo female born Braintree Essex.  On ancestry it is indexed as Erian Hitchcock 1843 Bamtree Essex servant.

If some-one could look at that and give me their impression of the forename please.
