Thread: 1841 Lookup Eliza WELLS

Can someone look up Eliza Wells for me - Father James Wells possibly from Hampton Norris in Berkshire
Thanks
David

There's lots of Eliza Wells, when was she born, do you know her mother's name?

trying to work from marriage Paddington Green St Mary no mothers name - sorry slizzy know the two lookups are longshots and light on info
31/05/1857 John KING ( desc as Carter) = Eliza WELLS both fathers are named James witnesses: James WELLS Harriett KING only John KING signs

The only Eliza Wells born Hampstead Norreys (Norris) still in Berkshire in 1851 was 16yr old dau of Thomas. So presumably father James Wells and Eliza must have moved before then, hence your request for the 1841. I cannot help there, I am afraid.
Why do you think that she came from Hampstead Norreys? Is she the Eliza King age 45 in 1881, (familysearch) widowed, living in Ealing with 6 children?
Unfortunately, the only place that you will be able to get any further if no-one can supply the 1841 for you, is Berkshire Record Office in Reading.
Very few Berks records are available outside the RO because the C of E and the RO will not give anyone permission to publish or distance transcribe, quoting "copyright".

Reason for Hampton Norreys - 1861 census, The Eliza you have is the right name, Eliza's father at wedding was James.

More research necessary, and I don't know whether I will get round to it tonight.

Found an Eliza Wells in 1841 Hampstead Norris, I imagine Martha is Eliza's grandmother.
Martha Wells 60
Carolin 15
Joseph 15
Eliza 5
Thomas 2
Sarah 2

I've found a baptism on igi for Caroline in Oare (very near Hampton Norris) baptised 1821, parents James and Martha. Other children christened to James and Martha - Martha 1819 and Joseph 1824.

Could Eliza be Martha's illegitimate dau? She may have used her grandfather's name at marriage.

As I said more research to be done! If I don't get back to it tonight someone else may step in and help, otherwise I'll get back on the case later.

Back to it!

A Thomas Wells was baptised 10//1839, Hampstead Norris, no father named, mother Martha.

Now, interestingly there's a baptism for Sarah Wells Hampstead Norris 30/6/1839, no father named, mother Amy Wells.
And...... Eliza Fidler Hampstead Norris 25/7/1835, no father named, mother Amy Wells.

So, is the above your Eliza?

You can find all the above records on the igi.

Amy Wells baptised 20/11/1814, Hampstead Norris, parents: James and Martha

There's a few Fidler baptisms on igi in Hampstead Norris, most circa 1814 (when Amy was baptised) are for girls, however there is this one: James Fidler, 24/1/1813 Hampstead Norris, parents: James and Lydia.

It may be worthwhile you consulting the original record for Eliza's baptism, either via the Berkshire Archives or ordering the film to view at your local LDS Family Search Centre, as it would appear Eliza's father Mr Fidler admitted paternity.
