Elizabeth Eliza Warwick died 21st February 1940 at 32 Wayland Road.

So it's the 85th anniversary of her death on Friday. Can the mystery be solved before then?

[Milliepede]

Doesn’t give us long does it.  The tree owner might know something more might not.

She isn’t making it easy using every E name she can think of.  Elizabeth, Eliza, Ellen, Emily plus a Lizzie thrown in for good measure. 

Still seems unusual she didn’t marry or have children till later in life (by the standards in those days) and went on having children up to 1920 was it.

!!! may have married 1896?

[Milliepede]

Possibly transcribed as Bruce in 1881

Yes I think so, married 1896 as you say.

Another one to investigate

John Spershott

Sarah Limer

One of the witnesses is Charlott Spershott

Can't find them after 1871 when they are in Surrey

John 27 ag lab
Sarah 24

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Possibly transcribed as Bruce in 1881

Yes I think so, married 1896 as you say.

Yes - looking at the image the Bruces are actually Bakers

Emma is a servant in 1891 and marries Stephen Akehurst in 1896 - can be followed with him from then on (and always called Emma).

So she's out

Once again, thank you to everybody who have read and responded to my enquiry.

Softly Softly
I have chased the Baker family up to 1911. Father George employed as a paper hanger all the way through, starts of being born in Epping 1871 census, then thereafter Epsom, Surrey. George remarries in 1895 to Eliza Emma Miles. You are right Baker transcribed as Bruce on 1881 census. Emma Eliza Baker baptised 12th April 1876, parents George and Rebecca residing 43 Wood Street, George employed as a paper hanger. 1891 Emma Eliza Baker is 15 years old and employed as a domestic servant at 59 Beaconsfield Street. 1896 in the Oct Dec quarter it appears that Emma Eliza Baker marries Stephen Akehurst in Brighton.

Milliepede
I am with you on the John Spershott marrying Sarah Limer 20th Jan 1866, after 1871 I was unable to find them anywhere, not sure where they have gone.

Mabel Bagshawe
I am with you, I believe Emma Eliza Baker marries Stephen Akehurst in 1896.

Not sure where to go from here at the moment, any further information or theories  would be welcomed.

Kind regards

Martin
