Hi Nicola - more info

On 1881  census, living in Taunton St James, Somerset, we have Eli married to a Mary J ... based on date of Bessie, these are the pair you want who got married 1869

Delving into 1837online & FreeBMD I have found them 

Eli Pike married Mary Jane BILLING

On 1881 census

& there' s a Eli junior with brother Harry , but not the same Harry born in Up Ottery - who is next

Eli Northam        abt 1838   Yarcombe, Devon      Head    ag Lab

Sarah Northam  abt 1842   Yarcombe, Devon      Wife

I suspect these may be related - but no proof as yet

Nicola,

I am just starting to delve into my past and was amazed to come across your post. I am the great, great, grandson of Eli Pike through Eli jnr, his son Harold and his son, my father Eric.

As far as my dad knew we had always been a Taunton family but it looks like we have Devon ancestry.

I wonder if you any names and dates proir to Eli you could share.

Best Regards & thanks for gettig my search off to great start.

Steve,

My Great Great Grandfather was also Eli Pike, I am through his other Son Harry R Pike who was a Dairy man, how odd that you have a father called Eric and so do I on the same tree lines, my Grandmother was Louisa May Pike b1899 who is the Daughter of Harry R Pike who is the son of Eli, Louisa May married John Taylor abt 1917/18 and had my father:Eric, looks like we might be related!  We live in Keighley which is about 10 miles from Skipton, North Yorkshire, I can be contacted on (*) if you would like to chat further.

Best regards
