Is your Eliza Smith b: 1876 Caunton actually Elizabeth May Smith baptised Caunton 10 Nov 1878? Father William & Harriet Smith of Beesthorpe Hall Lodge. Father's profession: gardener.

My interest is the Jebb's of Beesthorpe/Caunton.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Edwin/Edward Welch

Thank's for the replies. There is no direct match for Horace in WW1 casualties.

In the 1901 census there are two other Horace Welch's in my Horace's age group and general location. There's one in Luton and another in Hemel Hempstead. Gut feeling is that the one in Hemel Hempstead is the St Albans marriage.

Thanks again for the help.

Bedfordshire / Levi WELCH
« on: Saturday 27 January 07 13:53 GMT (UK)  »
I'm researching Levi Welch to see if he has any links to my family but trail comes to a dead stop.
Levi was born in Stopsley Beds in 1828/9. Parents Joseph Welch (born in Lillie) & Charlotte.  He had brother Asher, Benjamin and maybe a Reuben.  In 1851 he's still in Stopsley, married to Ann with a son Ruben. Ann dies in 1851. In 1857 he marries Ada Ann Gazely and they have the children Frederick(1857), Letitia(1859) and Walter(1861).  In 1861 they are living in Luton but Reuben is with his grandparents in Stopsley.
      In 1867 Levi is tried for murder and robbery but only gets 14 years penal servitude by turning Queen's Evidence. Coincidently, the son Ruben is also tried in 1867 for stealing a shotgun and gets 7 years. To see their Bedford prison records and photographs go to www.schools.bedfordshire.gov.uk/gaol/search.htm
      Now the puzzle, in 1871 Levi is at home in Luton with his family (not in jail?). That's the last record I can find on him, not even a register of death.
      In 1871 Ruben is in Dartmoor Prison and marries Fanny Wheatley in Luton in 1875. He is back in prison in 1881 (Pentonville) but that's the last thing I can find on him. 
    Can anybody help with this intriguing tale?

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Edwin/Edward Welch

Trying to find information on my grandfather Edwin Alfred Welch, normally known as Edward. Born in Luton 1883 but the family moved to London about 1900. Nothing is known of Edwin from 1916, when his wife Lilian Maude died in Deptford, until his death in 1958 at wandsworth.
     Edwin also had a brother, Horace born Luton about 1890. Nothing is known of Horace since the 1901 census.
