John Elcock and Sarah Hoskins

Married 1850

There is a record in the IGI indices of a marriage between John Elcock and Sarah Hoskins on 20th Jan 1850 at All Saints, Southampton, Hampshire. This seems fairly likely to be referring to this particular couple. Interestingly, the fathers of the couple are recorded in this entry - one Jacob Elcock and one Henry Hoskins.

There is also an entry in the GRO indices for the marriage of a John Elcock, and on the same page appears a Sarah Hoskins - Southampton Jan/Feb/Mar 1850, volume 7, page 232.

At the time of the 1881 census the family are living on Industry Row, Romsey Infra, Hampshire.

Husband:   John Elcock

Born: 1820
Died: 1882
Father: Jacob Elcock
Mother: Hannah Jacobs

Occupation: Baker
Aged 50 at the time of the 1871 census. His occupation is entered as "Journeyman Baker", and his place of birth Hursley.

Aged 60 at the time of the 1881 census. Place of birth is recorded as Hursley.

There is an entry in the GRO indices for the death of a John Elcock in Jul/Aug/Sep 1882 in Romsey (volume 2c page 35). This is a possible match given that John does not seem to be present in the 1891 census, but does seem slightly less likely as the age at death appears to be 67. This may be a transcription error of course (were it actually 61, it would fit quite well).


Wife:   Sarah Hoskins

Born: 1826
Died:  
Father: Henry Hoskins
Mother:

Occupation: Baker
Her age is entered as 45 at the time of the 1871 census, and her place of birth is entered as Hursley.

Aged 54 at the time of the 1881 census. Place of birth is recorded as Hursley.

A Sarah Elcock appears, living as a boarder, in the 1891 census. It is hard to ascertain whether this is the same one, however.

There is a record of a christening of a Harry Elcock on 9th November 1860 in Romsey, with parents noted as John and Sarah Elcock. This is almost certainly him.

Aged 18 at the time of the 1881 census. Here his occupation is entered as tailor.

At the time of the 1901 census his age is entered as 32 (probably an error) and he is still living (and working presumably) at the family bakery at 26, Bell Street, Romsey. His occupation is entered as "bread baker", and his place of birth given as Romsey.


Female  Child 5:   Angelina Elcock

Born: 1870
Died:  
Spouse: William Edward Jewell
Children: William Edward Jewell, Mary Jewell, Archibald John Jewell, Percival Jewell


First appears in the 1871 census, aged 2, her place of birth entered as Romsey.

She appears in the 1881 census, aged 12, her named spelt with an n. Again her birthplace is recorded as Romsey. At this time she was living with her parents and three elder brothers.

Appears in the 1891 census living with husband William, incorrectly indexed as "Javell", aged 22 and with her birth place recorded as Romsey.

She appears in the 1901 census, aged 31, her named spelt Angelima (with an m). In the GRO index entry relating to (what appears to be) her marriage to William, her name is spelt Angelina (with an n). It isn't clear which is the correct spelling, perhaps she used both, or perhaps this is just down to transcribing errors.

Her birthplace is recorded in the 1901 census as "Romsey Hants".
