Kenn or Yatton - NETHWAY

[Hackstaple]

With the aid of Rick I have managed to establish that the birthplace of my ancestor - maiden name Eliza Nethway - was Somersetshire, a theory shared also with my cousin some months back.
Looking through Ancestry and the IGI it would appear that the Somerset Nethways all came from Kenn or Yatton - very close to each other. Depending on how the census transcript is read she was born either about 1801 or 1811. She married in 1829 and in 1851 had a 3-year old daughter. That is why I incline towards the 1811 date.
A couple of hours on the Web turns up all sorts of references to the Parish Registers of both but I can find nowhere other than the Somerset County Library where they exist.
There is another Eliza Nethway born Yatton 1801 but she is a spinster still alive at 75 whereas my Eliza married Henry Demery Damry in London.
Can any member assist me with this in any way?

Update on that. Cougar has been kind enough to read the census page again and the date of birth sets at 1800 to 1802.

For what it's worth to you,  Hackstaple, an ancestor of mine, Hannah Gould, bap 3/2/1801 in WsM, married a tailor John Neathway, born about 1801, on 1/3/1821 in WsM. They are both buried in St Mary's in Yatton.

They seem to have had at least 2 children, Henry bap 1/2/1822 in WsM and possibly Hannah, born about 1821

I'd be very interested in what you can tell me about this family, since this is all that I have. At a guess, there's a fair possibility that your Eliza and my John were bro & sis

Hackstaple.
Are you still doing your NETHWAY ancestors and have you found out more?

I have replied in a PM to Harry. I am no further forward with clearly identifying Eliza's parents.

I think that this maybe where your Eliza fits in.  Right at the bottom of this tree.

Dear Yattonharry:

I am working on the Perris and Nethaway families of Yatton for a 4th cousin who is descended from Ellen Perris and Ephraim Blackmore of Congresbury. I am descended from Ephraim's sister Ann Blackmore.  Am I right in my conclusion that this Ellen Perris was a daughter of Eliza Gosling and her first husband Robert Perris? Does that make you a relation of my 4th cousin Jane? If you would contact me directly, I can put you in touch with her:

Hi Thom,

Can you PM me please with the email address and the  I will look up Ellen Perris on my database.  Thanks,

Jill

[yattonharry]

Hi there Thom,

I have looked up Ellin and she is the sister of my gt gt grandmother!
Unless there is another!  I did quite a lot of research into these families which are quite complex as you may see from the census.  This was when I had to visit London or Bristol to view the census and go to Taunton for my summer holidays spent in the Record Office.  The marriage of Eliza to Robert was really difficult to find and was only found in the Bishop's Transcripts.

On 23 Oct 1826 when Eliza was 19, she first married Robert PERRIS, GG Grandfather, in Bedminster Parish Church. Born  abt 1800 in Soms/Gls. Died in Yatton in 1835, he was 35. Buried on 19 May 1835 in Yatton aged 35 yrs. [DRAT HIM !! died before the 1841 census!] Occupation: Ag. lab.

They had the following children:
   2   i.   William (1827-)
   3   ii.   Mary Ann (~1830-~1895)
   4   iii.   Ellen (1832-)
   5   iv.   Amelia (1835-)

On 7 Aug 1838 when Eliza was 31, she second married William NETHWAY, son of William NETHWAY (1781-1831) & Hester BAKER (abt 1784-), in St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. Born  abt 1810 in Yatton. Died in aged 49 years Yatton in 1858, he was 48. Buried on 15 Jul 1858 in Yatton. Occupation: Railway Labourer.

They had the following children:
   6   i.   George (1838-1840)
   7   ii.   Amy Jane (1839-)
   8   iii.   Eliza Jane (1840-)
   9   iv.   William Henry (~1844-)
   10   v.   Charles Robert (1846-1870)
