I was hoping that with the Warwickshire Parish Registers on ancestry that I would find something out, but I haven't been able to.

There was a man called Major Ensor in Warwickshire. He married in 1803 and had a son John who then married in 1838, but I have been unable to find any evidence that he is my Elizabeth's Dad.

Did you see all the other children for Major and Elizabeth (from Ancestry)?

William (Herser) 1804
Allen (Henser) 1805 (saw a burial soon after)
Mary 1808
Ann 1809
William 1811 (poss burial 1813)
John 1814 (the one you mentioned)
Mary 1817

Actually, the burial for Allen in 1806 is crossed through, so make of that what you will! lol

Major Ensor married Elizabeth Silvester in March 1803 in Grendon parish, Warwickshire.

I found four children born to this couple:

Mary, bap 24 Jan 1808, Corley
Ann, bap 11 May 1809, Corley
William, bap, 24 Nov 1811, Corley
John, bap 24 April 1814, Corley

Elizabeth Enser, 60

Mary, 55, FS

Thanks everyone.

Merry, I hadn't seen those other ones (not sure why though?!). They could potentially be siblings for my Elizabeth.

Margaret - not sure yet. As yet, the only Ensors I have are Elizabeth and Major. Perhaps he is a relation from somewhere?

Shona - thanks for that. I wish they'd had Elizabeth with them. Can't see a death straight away for Major though.

Just wish I could find a christening record for my Elizabeth to tie her to the rest of them.

On the 1841 census, there is an Elizh Ensor age 15 female servant born in county with a family called Oldacres in Maxstoke, Warwickshire.
Maxstoke would be on her way from Keresley to Aston!

Thanks Merry.

Kate, Thomas was from Maxstoke so that is probably her.

Just wish I could find that baptism though. Might have to buy that death certificate Merry found.

Here's his burial:
