and James TYLER - burial at Ledbury - 14 October 1838

aged 58 (c1780)

I have found the following information on Eliza Tyler.

Parents names are
George Tyler born Ledbury 1800
Death Ledbury, Herefordshire 1850 age 50.

Mothers name Mary Ann Bowkett born 1792 approx. Ledbury, Herefordshire,
Died Ledbury, Herefordshire 1876 age 82.

Daughter Eliza Tyler born Ledbury 1811, married Thomas Jas Symonds parish church Dymock 1835.

Residence

Eliza Symonds 1811 until death 1892 Dymock, Gloucestershire (age81).

Thomas Jas Symonds born Eastnor, Herefordshire 1807.
Residence until until 1891 Dymock.
Died Newent workhouse 1893 age 86.
I presume he may of lived in a tied cottage as he was a Ag.Labourer and when he got too old to work was turfed out!

Which suggests any marriage would be around 1810 or earlier ?

Now again use "advanced search" but for Marriages,
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=page&id=22

Search for ALL Marriages between "William T" and "Sara", so finding all with a "T" in the surname to allow for spelling variations. Of the 400+ results can re-sort them chronologically by clicking the column header, and then browse thro quickly to find what seems the most obvious hit, namely:

In case you don't know the area Aston Ingham is only a few miles from Newent, a little further north to Ledbury.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/HEF/AstonIngham/Gaz1868.html

ASSUMING ??? the groom is from Aston Ingham, and not from one of several adjoining parishes (it's a common name locally), this SEEMS like a possible hit:

So she was abt 21 when marrying, a good fit.

I'm off now, don't know where in the world you are but its 1.30am in the UK, time for a beer and catchup on the cricket "high"lights... Suggest you keep plugging away searching the database, it's very easy once you get the hang of it. Any problems we'll try and help tommorrow.

Goodnight & happy hunting, Jeff

Are there any parish marriage records for William and Sarah Tyler?, I can only go back to 1837 on the BMD search.

In case you haven't noticed there is a Ledbury Baptism in the PRs which "fits";

Hope this helps, but of course feel free to ignore it :-)

ps PLEASE, at some convenient point can you advise whether I'm correct in my interpetation of this site's Census data, as per my earlier post. Many thanks and Happy Hunting !

The 1841 Census reads
Thomas Symonds age 30 born 1811
Eliza Symonds age 25 born 1816
John Symonds age 9 born 1832
Mary Symonds age 6 born 1835
Charles Symonds age 4 born 1837
Emma Symonds 1 born 1841.

Following the census records it seems Thomas and Eliza lived in Dymock forever! Well until the 1890s at least.
I have found a death record Eliza Symonds who died 1892 , Dymock Newent.

Hi,
She is down as age 25 born 1816 on the 1841 census.
Thanks.

I think that there is a different family who marry pre 1833
This one is Thomas/Eliza the other is Thomas/Elizabeth compare the 1861 census for both(!)

Please can you advise if she is with her family during the 1841 Census, I presume not ?.
As you can see from my "PS" on the above post it seems she is NOT the Eliza I found in 1841 Dymock, as you probably know Elizabeth/Eliza was a VERY popular name then !. Sadly I don't have full Census access to hand, sorry.

I ask as according to the 1851 (see post above) she was born Hillsley, Glos abt 1823, however I suspect the 1841 differs slightly.
I presume it doesn't give any clues wrt her parents, presumably she's left home and is working ?.

The only Hillsley I know is some way from Ledbury, t'toher side of Gloucestershire across the Severn and south of Stroud towards Swindon !.

??

Thanks.

PS Using this site's 1841 Census search I'm not sure but I THINK there's only one TYLER household in Dymock, namely:
