Hello RF All is well here thanks for asking and hope you are well too.

Thanks very much for the look up. I'm pretty sure that Eliza was telling lies when she says she was a spinster on that marriage. I have her maiden name as Eliza Broad, father was John Broad a brick maker on her first marriage to a Richard Hawkins in 1854, he died 1858, then she married Thomas Langdell in 1863 and their children all have Mother's maiden name as Broad on their birth registrations.

Thanks again.
