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.

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.

:-S

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.
