Elizabeth Elilza Sparshott
« on: Thursday 13 February 25 11:17 GMT (UK) »
 I am trying to find out about Elizabeth Eliza Sparshott. She is recorded as being born in Brighton about 1874, but with various ages she has supplied it could be a few years either side.

She married John Emmanuel Albert Edwin Warwick 19th December 1909 at St Peters Church, Battersea, London. Elizabeth Eliza's father is recorded as being John Sparshott, a labourer, who is deceased when she marries. The couple had children together before and after their marriage, all in the London area. On the 1901 Elizabeth is recorded as being Ellen and married to John, but they do not marry until a few years later. They have a child, Edith Minnie.

I have looked everywhere for information regarding Elizabeth Eliza Sparshott from the 1870's to 1901, but have drawn a blank.

I would be very grateful if anyone can fill in any of the blanks for that period.

Kind regards

Are all the children registered with the same mothers maiden name?

Marriage witness names can be helpful if relations so who were they please?

Possible she was already married to someone else hence the late marriage but matched the fathers surname to her own.

I can't find that entry - when was Edith born?

Ok got it now transcribed as Warnick is that the right family?  Maybe not  :-\

Thank you for your replies.

Witness to the marriage of John Warwick and Elizabeth Eliza Sparshott were Charles and Fanny Hewish, nee Warwick. Fanny Hewish nee Warwick is John's aunt.

Minnie Edith was born 8th Oct 1900 at Battersea, London. On the 1911 the children all carry the Warwick surname, at the GRO some carry the birth name Warwick Sparshott. Before the marriage on GRO, no mothers maiden name is given.

I wonder if we can find any more Sparshott family that could be her siblings and trace her that way.

There's a Sophia Elizabeth Spershott birth registered Brighton Dec 1873 mothers name Davis

Likely this marriage John William Spershott Sophia Davis registered Greenwich Sep 1868

There is a John who died age 25 and a Sophia Elizabeth who died young but this family could be unrelated so  :-\

She is a real challenge isn't she  :-\ 

There is a tree with private information but this could be yours?

I can't help feeling she must be related to the Brighton Sparshott family listed earlier but how. 

A little odd she didn't marry until 39 was it? and after she had a child but no indication on the marriage she had been married before.

John Spershott who married Sophia David/Davis was a coachbuilder.  Father Henry

Looking for other children. There's a Rosina b Wandsworth who is the only child with mother in 1881, and never married. She and  the Sophia Elizabeth who died young, as found earlier, enter a school together c 1877

Looks like there's also Charles Alfred b c1871 Lewishm  By 1876 he's in the poor law school system and doesn't seem to return home. He ends up in Brighton as a young man

William b 1870 Greenwich - not finding what happened to him. Also admitted to the poor law school in 1876  (but there's another William, son of William and Mary A who this might be)
