[LoneyBones]

Hope it's cooler down your way JM. Stinking hot here    that's perspiration, not tears.  
Have dry eyes and a headache...would go lie down but too darn hot.

You've been busy, give it a break, a Kit Kat  Tim Tam Break  .....  or a nice cool YT.    It's OK by me, I don't want my helpers wearing themselves out.

Tis OK, LB,

Been raining and raining... ex Miss Olga... 

I think I'm on a bit of a roll .... looky:  1841 BELFOUR, James, 20 (ie +- abt 5 years) a Seaman, and Elizabeth, 20 (seems to be N in column re county for her), and Elizabeth 5, (Y of the county  ) and Martha 3 (Y  )... err.... of course you want the County  ... its Griffin St, (or Griffon) Tower Hamlets, St Paul Shadwell. 

HO107; 703;  6 (I think  )

Cheers,  JM (I've been and purchased moi fresh supply of tim tams)

Have to keep your strength up there.

I have not found that 1841 family in 1851, but then again, I'm not that familiar with London  , and Belfour v Balfour etc .... err .. not as easy as it could be...  perhaps Gadget or Ebch would be better at searching for them  in 1851 ....

Cheers,  JM

I've looked in all the feeder parishes in Batch Number site, nothing looks exciting...a 'maybe' Elizabeth DAVIS christened 23 Feb 1832, but only a mother...Mary DAVIS.  Co37211. Does that mean there was no father?   

I'm still looking.

But then again, maybe Elizabeth was Independent religion but maybe christened in conventional church. She wouldn't remember......


I'm still looking.

LB...

That's the RIGHT day and the RIGHT month ! I think you may have found HER ..........

MODIFYING to add


I'm excited for you  ......... nearly choked on a tim tam

LB...

That's the RIGHT day and the RIGHT month ! I think you may have found HER ..........

                         

[LoneyBones]

No...but she said she was born 23 Feb 1831. How likely would it be to be christened on the same date 12 months later?
I'll just go check if it was a Sunday...most christenings were done after the regular sunday service.

Hi LB,

I reckon the NZ minister was not paying attention when he was completing that part of the form .... He had to overwrite it, and he needed to write a date that would make her at least "full age" .... so he wrote 1831 ....  And so Elizabeth was stuck with that from henceforth 

Cheers,  JM
