Great x3 Aunt Eliza Lydia Nott

My Great x3 Aunt Eliza (1856 - 1869) was an elder sister of my Great Great Grandmother Bessie Staddon Edworthy (nee Nott) (1859 - 1919).

Eliza was born around 1856 in Bampton, Devon, to William Nott, an agricultural labourer, and Grace Nott (nee Cobley), a wool weaver.

Eliza's birth doesn't appear to have been registered; however, she was baptised on 28th December 1856, in Bampton, Devon. At the time of her birth, the family lived on the High Street.

Eliza was the fifth of nine children (four sons and five daughters):

• William  1850 - after 1861
• John Henry  1852 - after 1861
• Frederick  1853 - 1927  (74 years old)
• Mary Emma  1855 - after 1871
• Eliza Lydia  1856 - 1869  (12 years old
• Bessie Staddon  1859 - 1919  (about 60 years old)
• Walter  1860 - 1916  (55 years old)
• Jessie Rose  1864 - 1947  (83 years old)
• Agnes  1866 - 1924  (57 years old)

When Eliza was very young, the family moved from Bampton to Morchard Bishop. There, the family can be found on the 1861 Census.

Sadly, in Oct/Nov/Dec 1869, Eliza passed away, aged twelve (nearly thirteen), in the district of Crediton.
