Notes for Elizabeth COFFIN

General Note
Not her death -- Mar 1870 Andrews Elizabeth 75 St. Saviour 1d 10. This was a widow of a greengrocer, George Andrews, who died in the Christchurch, Surrey, union workhouse. She was the wrong age, so the search goes on.

She had been living with her daughter Sophia Ann Musselbrook.

From the IGI online: Elizabeth Coffin Christening: 21 FEB 1796 Blandford-St Mary, , Dorset, England Father: Benjamin Coffin Mother: Elizabeth Source Information: C150762 1732 - 1879

According to the 1841 census, Elizabeth was born in London, although we know this is wrong. She was a year older than her husband, but this might be inaccurate. The 1851 census, however, shows her with her husband absent, alone with her family at 23 New Street Square, Trinity, St Bride, London. The record is quite clear: she was born in Dorsetshire, at Blandford, and she was 50?, and a Charwoman and 'wife' although there is no 'husband' on the previous sheet to go with her. At home were her widower son William (born Bloomsbury and due to marry his sister-in-law Amelia Ann Swift), Sophia (born at St Sepulchre), and a niece Fanny Andrews, age 13, born in Kennington?, Surrey.

Elizabeth also appears in the 1861 census, the latter with her daughter Sophia and family at Christchurch, Southwark. Again, she was shown as having been born in Blandford.

Their marriage? No proof sadly. Or they might have married in Wiltshire or Dorset or elsewhere. Or perhaps her parents migrated into London. Future research is needed on this couple, starting with trying to track down John from the various choices available in Pewsey, if that is where he came from.

Sorting out which of the various Andrews births registered at Shoreditch belong to this couple is a problem. It looks as if there were two couples having children around the same time. For this record, however, only those we know were definitely members of this family are included: William Henry, Sarah Bonham, George James, and Sophia Ann. The rest are left on the database to be connected if there is sufficient evidence.
