Link to daughter's thread: Jane Horner

On the 1841 census it says N for born in county but it says the same for Elizabeth's daughter Maria, although Maria was born in Essex, so Elizabeth may well have been born there too. I'm hoping the new Essex Ancestors site will help with this one - if it really does launch on Monday.

Have you seen this one on freereg , mind I don't know Essex area at all ;;

Thanks, Babs. There are lots of Elizabeth Days and a lot of Essex stuff that isn't online yet, so I'm hoping to look at the marriage register image on Essex Ancestors when it goes live, and also to look for a baptism on there in or near Waltham.

I now think that my Elizabeth probably is Elizabeth Day who married John Horner 17 Dec 1789 at Waltham Holy Cross, although the marriage record does say that John was a bachelor of the parish, because his signature is a very good match for the John Horner who was a witness at the wedding of this John's son John in 1802. Some of the other Waltham Holy Cross marriage entries have bachelor corrected to widower so there could have been a mistake on John Horner's marriage entry which didn't get corrected.
