Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Elizabeth King born about 1790 in Croxton
« on: Wednesday 10 September 25 14:52 BST (UK)  »
Very much a long shot, but could it actually be Costock, which is in Nottinghamshire but only about 2-miles from the Leicestershire border?

The Baptist registers for Sheepshead/Shepshed, Leics have the following:

Elizabeth King d/o Jonadab King and his wife Ann was born Costock in the County of Nottingham on 5 Feb 1785

Other children were Ann (1787) and Sarah (1790).

Jonadab King of Costock married Ann Oram otp at Shepshed on 7 Jul 1783. He died 25 Jan 1838 at Costock but was buried in the Baptist Chapel Burial Ground, Shepshed.

His will is available to order from the Borthwick Institute in York.

The 'bastardy book' CD for 1844-1874 only lists just over 700 cases, and unfortunately there is no mention of any mother with the surname Bishop.

I wont see what you see because I have a sub.

The first one is the one you posted from Ancestry (the attendant at Essex Lunatic Asylum), the second is the daughter of George & Caroline and the third hasn't had her name transcribed at all but is the infant daughter of a family named Ayland and was born on the day of the census.

Sorry I'm not sure what you're asking?

One is the 1871 census you already posted the Ancestry link for (attendant at Essex Lunatic Asylum), and the other is the daughter of George & Caroline.

I was going to ask the same, but for the informant.

Iris was buried at Gilroes Cemetery on 15 Apr 1926, Grave F432.  Her address was 2 Rollestone Street.

I've checked but the only other person in that grave was another infant in 1906 with no obvious connection.  Also no Burbidge's in the surrounding graves.

I would say so, although finding the correct death may be hard as its not exactly a common name and she could be anywhere  :(

This makes no sense at the moment, but since James was in Great Baddow in 1871 & 1881 as a servant to John Crabb it seems too much of a coincidence not to be connected.

There is an article in the Chelmsford Chronicle 31 Dec 1880 about the suicide at Great Baddow of David Spackman, coachman to Mrs Crabb (who I think is the wife of Richard H Crabb).  A witness at the inquest was "Harriet Harris, wife of James Harris of Great Baddow"

The only James Harris I can see in Great Baddow in 1881 is 'your' James, and the only Harriet Harris is on the same census page, just a few properties away:

Harriet Harris 54 b Wyke, Dorset
Harriet Hansford 22 Niece b Great Power(?) Street, City, Middlesex
Beatrice Young 8 Visitor b Woolwich, Kent

By 1891 James & Harriet are back in London, at 73 Pulford Street, St George Hanover Square
James Harris 63 born Brentford, Middx, Coffee Tavern Keeper
Harriet 63 wife b Wyke, Dorset
Harriet 28 Niece b City of London
also three boarders and a servant

(Edited to correct spelling!)
