trying to trace the mother of Eliza Eddy 1861 - 1936

You say you know Eliza was born in Hotwells.
Eliza Eddy b 1861 was born and living in the Hotwells area.

Yes I have the census after her and Alfred John Norris married, it states Hotwells, Bristol the place where she was born, I believe she was living in Number 25 King Square Hotwells after Her And Alfred Norris married but that house no longer exists.

The Eliza we have put forward was living in Lambwell Court in 1861.

The next census entry address is Jacobs Wells.

I know you research addresses etc - lots of interesting information online about the area.

Lambwell Court is now known as ''Hotels House - Student Accommodation''

Jacobs Wells Road, Hotwells, Bristol used to be a really posh area back in the day, but now its gone really down hill

We are not persuading you then?

SummerCrush I have been looking back over your thread and these previous posts from Heywood

Quote
“It looks as though Albert and Thomas are the same person.
He may have preferred Thomas as a name or changed it for some reason. Sometimes names were changed after a police incident or similar.”

“I have also previously mentioned this man  in 1871 2521/9/10
Thomas Eddy, mason’s labourer b Bath and lodging in Bristol. He is listed as unmarried and has been transcribed as 28yrs but, to me, that is doubtful on the census page.”

“I was just putting the idea forward that, for some reason, Albert who was Sarah Hannah’s husband, might have used a different forename for some reason.”


I have to agree with Heywood the unmarried THOMAS EDDY age 38 born Bath Somerset  lodging 44 Temple Street Bristol on 1871 census has similarities to the ALBERT EDDY born Bath Somerset who married Sarah Hannah Chapple/el…….there appears to be NO other census that I can see for a Thomas Eddy born Bath Somerset other than the 1871 census 

The question is did

Sarah Hannah Eddy (nee Chappel) leave her husband Albert Eddy sometime after birth/death of their daughter Mary Ann Eddy(b1863-d1864)
or was it
Albert Eddy who left his wife Sarah ( a possible relationship with Henry John Coleman, she is living with him as his wife 1871 and her two children Philip & Eliza Eddy (mmn Chappel) from 1861 census have been dittoed as having the surname Coleman (1871)
Then for whatever reason her husband Albert Eddy may have changed his christian name to Thomas  Eddy thereafter???

Sarah Hannah Eddy married Henry John Coleman in DEC qtr. 1877 -
do you have this marriage certificate? Was she noted as a widow???

Mentioned by Heywood a death entry for
Thomas Eddy age 44 (1833) DEC 1877 Bristol

As mentioned does seem a coincidence that Sarah Hannah Eddy married in the same quarter and year as the above death entry of a Thomas Eddy - again perhaps another coincidence!

If it were my family just to rule him in or out I would be considering obtaining the 1877 death certificate of Thomas Eddy to see what it says it would be interesting as to who the informant was - perhaps a family member 

If you ever unravel the mystery of your Eliza Eddy born 1861 Bristol as to who her mother was please come back and let us know

it looks like Sarah Hannah Chapple and Henry Coleman had a son called John Eddy born 1873 in Bristol and there is also a William Coleman born 1948 in Northumberland West and the mothers maiden name is Chapple{but not sure if this is Sarah or Henry's son or not}
