Notes

  • Inconsistencies: Elizabeth, and her brother George, are born to 'William and Elizabeth', but either this is a different William (cannot find sensible candidate) or they are born while William's first wife Alice is still alive, yet without mention of bastardy. It is ASSUMED that their mother is the Elizabeth Bolton that William married in 1819.
    1841C: b1811 Buckinghamshire. With Jonathan and Elizabeth Stevens b1776 Buckinghamshire, presumably her mother.
    1851C: Charwoman. b1811 Cheddington.
    1861C: Seabrook. Widow. Charwoman. b1809 Cheddington.

    No Leighton Buzzard death of Elizabeth Cox 1861-1881

    NBI2: Not found 1852 - 1900 in Buckinghamshire
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    From the Marriage Certificate, her father was William, a Farmer.

    From the 1851C and 1861C, she was b Cheddington. Her dob is 1811(1841C), 1811(1851C) and 1809(1861C).

    The Bucks FHS transcription of the Cheddington PRs has two Elizabeth Stevens with William as father between 1800 and 1820:
    - 1810 parents William & Elizabeth, no occupation shown
    - 1815 parents William & Leah, with William a Farmer (for their children's births from daughter Mary onwards).

    The Bucks FHS transcription has an Elizabeth Stevens marrying William Mead (of Mentmore) on 31/5/1834 with a witness: Leah Stevens. This cannot be her mother, who by then is Leah Punter; it has to be Leah Stevens 1819, the sister of Elizabeth Stevens 1815.

    The census entries for Elizabeth Mead show
      * 1851C Rickmansworth. b1816 Chadding (sic)
      * 1861C Rickmansworth. b1817 Cherington (sic) [a widow]
      * 1871C Not found.
      * 1881C Rickmansworth. b1818 Cheddington (hurray)
      * 1891C Rickmansworth. b1814 Cheddington

    The birth dates are consistent with b1815, but not with b1810.
