Elijah Westwood

[SRD]

Ok you lucky people, how about this one?
Running up my family tree I have the Arthur Griffiths we had so much fun with, marrying Fanny Westwood, her family, as shown on BCC at https://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/t ... onnections are possibly as follows:

England, Select Births and Christenings
Baptism Place: Brierley Hill, Staffordshire
Baptism Date: 25 Dec 1820
Name: Elijah Westwood
Gender: Male
Father: Thos Westwood
Mother: Anne

But Ancestry family trees have Eli's parents as Benjamin Westwood & Phoebe Saunders so this may not be the relevant Eli especially as several of the following entries have Eli's birth date as 1816.

England & Wales, Criminal Registers
County: Leicester
Year: 1846
Name: Eli Westwood
Instruction: Imp
Age: 28
Date: County Sessions 19th October
Charge: Larceny by Servant

This points towards an 1816 birth.

This makes the 1820 baptism a more reasonable option.

But by 1880 she seems to have joined up with Eli in Ohio:

So do we have two men, one born in 1816 & one around 1819 or is there only the one who reported his birth date variously?

Can anyone find either of them in 1841, their whereabouts between 1861 & 1880, any travel to the USA, and any other info that might relate to them?
I've got GRO birth info for Fanny and her siblings, Benjamin b 1850, John b 1853, Sarah Ann b 1857, Mary Jane b 1859 (mother's maiden name is shown as Hartland), Albert b 1862 (no forename shown), Freer b 1865 or 1866 (there are two possible entries) and Hannah b 1866.

Oh lor', I do pick 'em don't I. Thanks for those Jimmy.
I'm busy this weekend so I'll take a look next week.

[SRD]

Can we start with the possible births/baptisms?
1. Rowley Regis St Giles.
Baptism date 15 Oct 1815.
Eli Westwood. Gosty Hill.
Father Thomas WESTWOOD. Nailer.
Mother Mary.

2. Ancestry Tree

3. England, Select Births and Christenings
Name: Eli Westwood
Gender: Male
Baptism Date: 30 Mar 1817
Baptism Place: Parish of Hales Owen and Chapelry of Cradley, Worcester, England
Father: Benjamin Westwood
Mother: Phebe Westwood

4. England, Select Births and Christenings
Baptism Place: Brierley Hill, Staffordshire
Baptism Date: 25 Dec 1820
Name: Elijah Westwood
Gender: Male
Father: Thos Westwood
Mother: Anne

No.1: I think we can dispose of this because none of the subsequent records suggest a birth that early.

No. 2: Although a common date on Ancestry trees I can't find any evidence for that specific date, as far as I can see none of the sources used as evidence actually give that date nor can I find it in other records which might carry a date of birth.

No. 3: Most likely because of the dates, and the one favoured by Ancestry Trees, but there's also a burial record:
England, Select Deaths and Burials
Name: Eli Westwood
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Birth Date: 1816
Burial Date: 17 Aug 1834
Burial Place: Church of England, Rowley Regis Parish, Staffordshire, England
which can only refer to that baptism or the previous, unsubstantiated, birth.

No. 4: Whilst it isn't impossible that a baptism would be held that late after a birth, and one of the Census records does suggest a birth date closer to 1820, I think this is also unlikely so as far as I can see we can't pin Eli's birth/baptism down any closer than 1816 as suggested by the majority of the other records, unless of course any of you lot can come up with a better answer. This also means that we can't find his parents.

[SRD]

I can't find any proof of the Ancestry tree claim for Eli's death being 22 July 1891, but there is a probate record:
Ohio Wills & Probate
Trumbull
Administrators: John Westwood & Joseph McCarthy
Deceased: Eli Westwood
Date of Administration: 31 July 1891

There is a possible burial:
Birmingham, Alabama, Oak Hill Cemetery Index, 1873-2009
Name: Westwood, Eli
Burial Date: 13 Mar 1892
Which may seem a lot too late but his son Freer was living in Indiana.

Hannah and four of her children travelled from Liverpool to New York, arriving 3rd June 1872:

I can't find 1890 US Federal Census records for them

But Hannah and her (widowed) son Benjamin occur in 1900:

I'll post what I've found about the children as soon as I've collated it.

[Jimmy]

Nearly all the 1890 census was destroyed.

[SRD]

Here's what I've gleaned about the children, although there's a bit of supposition in places.
Fanny we've already dealt with.
Benjamin:

I can't find Benjamin's initial travel to the USA but Isabella & Rosanna are:

Forename: Isabella, Rosanna

And then there's Benjamin's travel (referred to in the 1900 US Census as year of immigration but note the 'previously in US' column):

In the US Federal Census for 1900 he's with his mother marked as a widower. That census suggests he has had 2 children with one living and that he emigrated in 1888.

After that there's the following but much of the info doesn't match up:

Not much on Mary Jane Westwood:
GRO

I think the Hartland is a mis-transcription as there are no other suitable entries nor marriages between

But only one baptism:

Baptism Place: Quarry-Bank, Stafford, England
Father: Eli Westwood
Mother: Hannah Westwood

His death certificate gives his birth date as August 25 1866.

In 1871 he's as his mother.

He doesn't appear on their journey out to the US, although another child, Alfred for whom there are no other records, does appear. The US Federal Census show that his mother Hannah could neither read nor write so there is an explanation for incorrect info appearing on that passenger list.

In 1880 he's as his parents.

At some point between then and the next census he has taken James as his name.
