Thanks for looking and for reminding me about the 1841 Census entry for PYNER. I eventually discovered it under a heap of paper after extensive excavation. I had forgotten all about it. Yes, it looks as though Edward POYNER was looking after Eliza at that time (although I suppose her mother could have been away on Census night). He was a widower by then since his wife Ann DRINKWATER had died in 1838.

I am sure James GREEN was the father of Thomas GREEN (later the husband of Eliza POYNER. He married Esther (or Hester) BROOKE in 1823. However, I had no information about Elizabeth's sister so thanks for that.

What puzzles me is the FamilySearch record of Elizabeth's marriage to Charles COLE I have looked for her as Elizabeth COLE but there seems to be nothing clearly identifiable.
