Hi Jim, Julie & Brian,

Received email from Warwick CRO . Quite disappointed cause it really doesn't help me much.



"Leek Woottton Marriage

Thank you for your email of the 4th January 2008. I have checked the
original parish register of Leek Wootton for the details you provided. I
have found the marriage of Joseph Scofield and Elizabeth Smith on the 28th
October 1828. The register states that she was "of this parish". However,
the "of this parish" has a cross through for Joseph Schofield; but does not
state which parish he is from. The register states Joseph Scofield and
Elizabeth Smith were married by bann with consent of parents. The witnesses
are George Smith and Charlot Sharpe. You are welcome to have a copy of this
entry; this will cost £2.50. Please see our website to download an order
form."



Really fantastic service anyway.

Anne

Hello All

Forgive my Aussie ignorance but is Leek Wootton part of Coventry?

About 5 mls. from Coventry on the way to Warwick.

While I have got you on here perhaps you could help me with a query.

It looks like Warwick to me as well.
Elizabeth/7
Charlotte/6m
Joseph/1
Found these births:
Charlotte Warwick/Dec.1870/B'ham/6d/146
Joseph Warwick/Sep.1869/West Bromwich(Staffs.)/6b/693
Elizabeth Warwick/Dec.1863/West Bromwich/6b/576
Also found them post 1871 with mother Elizabeth (born c.1843 Coventry)

Anne Thanks for the entry from Warickshire county
At least we know Elizabeth was from Leek Wootton Parish
but it still leaves us cold on parents
In those days fathers first names were handed down
would Josephs father come from Joseph 1782 .

Just to clear up the Warwick connection.
Elizabeth Scofield b.1843 is Elizabeth Warwick,but then it gets a bit murky.
Elizabeth Scofield is at home with parents Joseph & Elizabeth in 1851 aged 8.She disappears in 1861 & reappears in 1871 back home with parents & listed as Scofield widow & with the 3 Warwick children.After that Elizabeth Scofield disappears for good & in 1881 Elizabeth Warwick widow appears for the first time with 2 more Warwick children Thomas & Charles & in 1891 John H.
Suggest you get Charlotte's birth cert. if you want to find father.

Hi Everyone,


Now I remember why I never get very far with this family - they keep throwing up these little mysteries and I go onto the next family on my tree.

Jim, I will get one of the childrens birth cert as you suggest and hope it has a fathers name on it. Will let you know .

As for Josephs parentage will just have to keep hoping somethng turns up. I think we have ascertained that his Grandparents are Joseph and Hannah but his parents are a bit murky ( to use Jims terminology).

Will let you know when i receive the cert , which could be 3 weeks here in Oz.

Thanks for your help
