[soundranger]

I have Eliabeth H VIZARD as my G-G-G Grandmother, having married George HANCOCK 1840, in Alverstoke, Gosport, Hampshire.

I have Elizabeth's dob as 11 Apr., 1819, in Dursley, Gloucestershire. With no additional information.

 Elizabeth and George had 6 children, all of whom were born in Gosport:
(i).   Kate(my G-G-Grand mother);
(ii).  Jane;
(iii). George;
(iv). Sarah;
(v).  Joseph;
(vi). Harry.

Who were Elizabeth's parents, and were there any siblings?

Thank you, in advance.

Hi Victor,
Can you see if James born c 1826 is the Son of James/Elizabeth and therefore a Sibling for Elizabeth 1819 please

[soundranger]

Trish,

That is the way I interpreted things too. I found it easier to comprehend after finding the 1841 census, for James and Elizabeth. It was the age difference, which initially confused me...

James married Ann FISHER and then re-married, Elizabeth WRIGHT, 1818. They had two children;
(i)  Elizabeth(G-G-G-Grandmother), who married George HANCOCK, 1840, in Alverstoke, Gosport, Hampshire. Died 1880, agian, in Gosport.
(ii) James, born 1826. I have no other details relating to him.

Personally I think WRIGHT is the correct surname, with there being like surnames in Durley, and the immediate area. I could find no further reference to the name WEIGHT. I dismissed that as a mis-spelling...

Elizabeth married Robert Jones, 1849, in Dursley, Glos.. She is shown as Betty JONES.  They had no children...

Thank you for your assistance

Am just restoring a longcase clock by Edmund Weight of Dursley who was a clockmaker near the marketplace in Dursley 200 years ago. Engraved/scratched on the brass at the back are the names of those who serviced it. There are six entries and one from September 9th Eighteen Thirty is by a Vizard and I think the initial of the forename is J. Would you know if this makes sense?
Kind regards
Jon
