      Elizabeth HOLKHAM, a widow, made her mark; Joseph BAYLEY,

      Who was Elizabeth?


      In 1812 an Elizabeth Tapner marr James Holcomb in Boxgrove; had children baptised in 1814 (Mary) and 1821 (Harriet) but none after.
      In 1811 there was a marriage in Chichester between a Charles Holkham (sawyer of Halnaker) and Elizabeth Taylor of Boxgrove. It was probably this couple who had children bapt in Boxgrove - Elizabeth in 1812, Harriet in 1817, Charles in 1820. Prob also theirs was Geo bapt 1815 in Westbourne.

      The above 2 Elizabeths seem the most likely candidates to be the one who married Joseph Bayley. Haven't found burial of a James or Charles Holkham at the right time but I believe it was Elizabeth nee Tapner, widow of James, who married Joseph for the following reasons:

      • 1851 census shows a 'dau' Caroline, aged 33, with Joseph and Elizabeth. Bapt of Caroline not found, but she was with Mary Tapner at the time of the 1841 census, who I believe was the mother of the Elizabeth Tapner who married James. It seems more likely that Mary would have a granddaughter living with her than a more distant relation.

      • Age of the Elizabeth who married Joseph is shown in the 1851 census as 71, consistent with the age of Elizabeth Tapner, dau of Mary

      • The marriage of Elizabeth H and Joseph Bayley was witnessed by a George Tapner. Elizabeth Tapner had both a brother and an uncle called George.
