trying to trace the mother of Eliza Eddy 1861 - 1936
« on: Friday 12 August 22 23:50 BST (UK) »
we know Eliza Eddy was born 1861 in Hotwells, Bristol, her father was Thomas Eddy {Labourer} but the woman who I thought was her mother Sarah Hannah Chapple isn't her mother after all due to her marrying a Bristol man called Albert Eddy.

Eliza Eddy married my 3 times Great Grandfather Alfred John Norris{born 1866} and they married in May 1888 at the Parish Church in Bedminster, Bristol. {when they got married Alfred was aged 22 and Eliza was aged 27 and they were both living at 22 Stanley Street}

Alfred John Norris's father was Richard John Norris{Deceased at time of their marriage} and he was a Brush Maker.

we believe Eliza Eddy died October 1936 in Taunton, Somerset, England.

we know Eliza and Alfred had a daughter called Eliza{born 1891 in Bristol} and they had a son called Herbert John Norris

Herbert John Norris {born January 1904 Bristol and died December 1988 Burnham War Memorial Hospital, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England} and he married a lady called Lilian Jane Andrews{born 20 Sep 1902 Bristol, Gloucestershire, England and died June 1980 in Braunton Road, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England}

Eliza Norris{the daughter to Eliza and Alfred Norris} married Thomas EJ Cockle and they had 1 son together Donald Cockle and he married Amy B Collins{both now Deceased}

Donald Cockle and Amy B Collins had 1 Daughter and 1 son {both children are still alive and living}.

Donald and Amy's Daughter married and they had 2 daughters and a son{all the children are still alive and living}

No I can't find any census with Thomas Eddy living with an Eliza or Sarah Hannah Chapple in Bristol but we think Thomas Eddy was original from Cornwall although that's never been confirmed by family members.

I have no idea re: truth about age

but unless Albert's first name Thomas or middle name Thomas has been left off the marriage record for his marriage to Sarah Hannah Chapple then I can't see it being the right couple for Eliza's parents but family members have confirmed Eliza's year of birth and place of place of birth so I know that is 100% correct.

In 1861, there is a child Philip born 1858

There is a marriage 1879 St Paul’s Bedminster
Philip Eddy 21 yrs Labourer father Thomas Eddy labourer (deceased)
Mary Ann Britt 18 yrs father William Britt
Witnesses William King and Susan ?

There is a death in 1858 for an infant Thomas Eddy, Clifton but I can’t see a corresponding birth to check mmn.
