Elizabeth Ann UNDERWOOD

ChrisinBrisbane Report 7 Aug 2013 01:41

Hello all,

I am looking for the children of Elizabeth Ann Underwood. She was born in Feb 1851 (Boston, Lincs). She married George Dury (1840 - 1921) at St Peters church, Southborough on 1/6/1895, and she died 24/9/1916.

I have looked at FreeBMD and there is quite an extensive list of possibles and I need to narrow that down.

If someone can please look at the 1901 and 1911 census for me it would be appreciated as I don't currently have access. Her address in 1901 was 14 Victoria Rd, Southborough and in 1911 was 37 London Rd, Southborogh, Tunbridge Wells.


Many thanks in advance

Chris

Wow Jax, that was quick!! It's just a shame that there are no children recorded as still at home.

Many thanks for the very quick response though - very impressive.

Unlikely to have had children marrying at that age ....1911 census says "none"


Are you sure this is the correct person? as you have said she was born Boston Lincs...This one was born Bucks

Chris,
On the 1911 census it states that they've had no children.

Just realised something.

She was 46 years old when she married. Possibly left it too late to have kids.

I've been looking this one for far too long and couldn't see the wood for the trees (pun not intended)

Jax,

I'm fairly sure this is the right person as the only point of difference is the birth place. ALL other info I have on her fits to a tee. My informant on her has slipped up a couple of other times as well with other members of thier tree (where it intersects with mine), but generally gets it right (sometimes we just agree to disagree).

thanks for all the info though. i can now put this one to bed.

Hi there. My brother, who had been googling his surname of Dury, came across this and told me about it today. George Dury was my great grandfather (my maiden name was Dury). Elizabeth was his second wife. he had no children by her but had a number of children by his first wife. I have a photograph of George and Elizabeth taken, I should think, in Victoria Road, Southborough. There is a girl in the photo whom my aunt told me was the lodger as mentioned in the census. If I can work out how to post the photo on here, I will do so.

Even though you've now put this one to bed, I hope this may be of interest.

Margaret
