Hello. i wander if anyone can help with my 3 xgg Elizabeth Heaver. What i know so far is that she died in oct 1910 after celebrating her 100 bday in march 1910. My nan had a photo of her on her wall for all of my life,till 2009, taken on her 100. so i figure she was bn in 1810 but so far ive found nothing.
She married Richard Adby my 3xgg in 1830 in Basilden in Berks. (the marriage record says Hearn but i think this maybe a typo) His family were from Berks she then settled there. The census records of which she featured in everyone from 41 to 01, states born in oxfordshire but i dont know if she was, what with the boundry changes.
In the 1851 census her mother is shown as living with them, her name is Mary Heaver. Also 3 of Elizabeth and Richards children have Heaver as a middle name, so im sure it is Heaver but so far i can find nothing. Maybe she wasnt baptised, i can find no record of father or a marriage for Mary or other children for her.
it would be very good to know more about Mary and who she was, and great to find out who was the daddy. thanks so much for any help on this one.

I note that some of Elizabeth’s census place of birth state Henley on Thames and there seems to be a number of statutory records there for the name Heaver but no PRs on FindMyPast. I also noticed that Mary was born Sparsholt, which is in Hampshire. There are a number of Heaver marriages to a Mary prior to 1810. None in Oxfordshire but the following in Berkshire and others in the south of England.
John Heaver
Marriage 2 Oct 1809 Berks And Oxford
Mary Bond
Marriage place St Andrew, Sonning
Abode Sonning, Berkshire

Still cant find anything with this marriage. Also i have noticed i don't have the family in the 1891. her hubby Richard died in the dec of 91 so should be there but i cant find them. I have noticed they are entered under several different versions of there name so i guess that is confusing it , very frustrating.

Elizabeth and Richard are in Streatley in 1891 as ABDY.
She is 80, a farm servant, born Henley Oxon.

She married Richard Adby my 3xgg in 1830 in Basilden in Berks. (the marriage record says Hearn but i think this maybe a typo)
Berkshire FHS have transcribed the marriage as Richard Adby to Elizabeth Heaver, by banns, 4 Dec 1830, St Bartholomew, Basildon.

Ah that blooomin aBdy i should have guessed. Although i may have tried. There are several of us trying to work out this abdy/adby family. Some members are ABdy and some like mine are ADby. The family possibly connects back to a norman family who settled in yorkshire the De abdys way way back at the conquest. There is a tree for them, comes down to an exiting baronetcy of which a certain tv person is descended from i wont say who. (unless you ask). But the link is being very hard to find, ofcourse there may be no link at all, but who knows.
so anyway will go back and look in 91 for abdys. Not adbys. ::)
Thanks so much avm228

There is a helpful baptism entry for Elizabeth HEAVER in the parish records for Henley St Mary as transcribed by the Oxfordshire Family History Society. She was baptised there on 1 April 1810, the daughter of John and Mary HEAVER. The baptism entry also records her date of birth as 13 March 1810 and her mother's maiden name as BOND.
I cannot see an Oxfordshire marriage between a John HEAVER and a Mary BOND, but another reply has indicated a marriage with those names in 1809 in Sonning, which is on the opposite, Berkshire, side of the Thames from Henley.

Thankyou so much simon that has to be her. everything else fits. Im so relieved she was actually 100. I had her birth down as sometime in march im really, really pleased. You are a star. Now try and see what i can find out about the rest of the family of john and mary. Oh and sonning again, that features a lot in my family and my great grandad albert waters and grandad ernest waters are buried in the church there.
thanks all for your help. Tracey
