Re: Eli Willetts
Eli could be Thomas' grandson - illegitimate child of Elizabeth, and put his grandfather's name on marriage certificate.

Re: Eli Willetts
Jo has just flagged somat and I agree
why cant Thomas the son of Thomas be the father
why does it have to be Elizabeth
why have we linked him to Elizabeth?
we need to know if Eliz or Thos or whom!
is there a birth regis for eli
if so I will get it
this one is an important one to link up correctly as of course they all are
until we know for sure we need to disconnect Eli from Eliz and just add a note

Funny I just noticed, these Witnesses Benjamin and Sarah Dudley were also the Witnesses to my Gt Grandparents wedding in 1882, that was also at St Edmunds, wonder if Ben and Sarah just hung around there, available to all
