Hi,

In 1871 Eliza has a son George DAVEY, aged 9, living with her (in 1881 he has changed his name to WADE). This could be the marriage,


Eliza DAVEY    Mar Q 1866    Ipswich    4a  776
Sarah J GATHERCOLE
William BALLS 
Samuel SMITH



There is a birth for an Eliza Rebecca DAVEY born in Kenton,

Eliza Rebecca DAVY    Mar Q 1849    Plomesgate    12  410

Eliza Rebecca DAVY 
Christening
04 Mar 1849 
Kenton, Suffolk 
Father: William DAVY 
Mother: Mary 


and a death which could be her,

Eliza Rebecca W SMITH    Sep Q 1888    Hartismere    4a  337
Age : 42
 

Regards,
Daisy

I wonder why they changed their names to Wade when Samuel was a Smith and Eliza was a Davey ?  Thank you for your help

It's been a while since I last posted a question for anyone who can help.

I'm going to try and find out more about my grandmother Elizabeth White who married my Grandfather Arthur Wade. 

Can anyone help me with who her parents were ?

She was born in 1913 and died in April 1985 in Wattisfield, Suffolk.

She had 7 children including my father Raymond Samuel Wade who was born in Occold, Suffolk on 01/11/1935.

Thank you.

Hi,

In case it helps her death gives her birthdate as 22 September 1912,

Elizabeth WADE
Apr 1985
Bury St Edmunds    10  2281
22 Sep 1912

This fits with an entry on the 1939 register.

Do you have any of her children's birth certificates? I ask as there is this marriage entry which is written on the GRO index ,

Arthur B WADE    Dec Q 1929    Hartismere    4a  2421
to a WHITE or SMITH

There are matching entries for an Elizabeth WHITE and an Elizabeth SMITH to a WADE.

Normally I would think that this would mean that Elizabeth had been married previously but as she would have only been 17 it seems unlikely. Possibly she was born a SMITH and her mother then married a WHITE or vice versa.

Getting this marriage certificate might be the only way to sort this out as SMITH and WHITE are such common names and we can't even be sure of Elizabeth's POB.

Daisy
