Hazel Goodger

[RobinC]

Whilst researching my grandmother's side of the family, I have come across my 3 x great grandmother Eliza Goodger.

This is where the problem starts as I have found Eliza's baptism record amongst Ancestry's London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906 collection and it provides the following information:

Name: Eliza Goodger
Record Type: Baptism
Date: 28 Nov 1847
Father's Name: John Goodger
Mother's Name: Hazel Goodger
Parish: St Mary, Hayes
Borough: Hillingdon
County: Middlesex

I can't find any trace of Hazel whether it be in censuses or a marriage to John Goodger.

Look at this census, Robin.

1851.

Class: HO107; Piece: 1470; Folio: 354; Page: 3 (Crown copyright, in care of TNA)

I've just looked at the image and the mother's name is Hazel Elponi. There is another baptism of a child named Hannah at St Stephen's Hammersmith on 24 Aug 1851, parents John Goodger & Hazel Elponi.

Do you have your Eliza Goodger on the 1851 census?

I've searched using the census reference but can't seem to find John, Hazel or Eliza Goodger......

The earliest that I've got Eliza is the 1871 census. I didn't see the name "Elponi" when I first looked!

And a third child baptized at St Mary Stoke Newington on Oct 2 1853, born Jul 7 1853, Elizabeth Mary, parents John Goodger & Mary Elponi, child's surname recorded as Wedd, I think.

Transcribed as Goodyear.

Thank you Lizzy,

It looks like Elponi was Hazel's middle name as Ancestry have her transcribed as "Harelelpon"
