Name Eliza JURY Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Jun Q 1847 Whitchurch, Devon, England 
- From 1851 census where shown as aged 4
GRO ref: Jury, Eliza q2 1847 Tavistock RD 9 475; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Justhan
Baptised 21 Mar 1847 St. Andrew’s Church, Whitchurch, Devon, England - Please note:
From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 29 Sep 2012):
under heading "Baptisms ... Whitchurch ... 1847" - "March 21st. No. 535. John [sic] Son of John & Mary Jewry, abode: Parish of Whitchurch, father's occupation Labourer, ceremony performed by T.(?) Sleeman, Vicar"
This may be the baptism of John born c. 1840.
At the time of the 1851 census it would appear there was not a John born around 1845-7 living with the family, although John born c. 1840 was still living and still at home. In addition, no other July family has been found in Whitchurch at the time of the 1851 census and with parents named John and Mary it would seem to be this family. No dth of John registered before 1851 census, if this was the John's whose birth was reg Q4 1845 (GRO ref: q4 1845 Tavistock RD 9 453).
Although it was usual to record a date of birth where the person being baptised was not a young baby, this was to provide evidence of a person's age, and so may not have been necessary by 1847 due to the introduction of birth registration 10 years earlier.
However, the most likely alternate explanation is that the priest when recording the baptism got the name (and gender) wrong.
Although the birth of Eliza was recorded in the 2nd quarter of 1847 if she was born late in the first quarter it is quite likely it would be registered in the next quarter.
** her birth certificate would confirm whether or not she was born by 21st March - but I'm not buying one just to find out **
Gender Female Residence 1861 Rix Hill, Whitchurch, Devon, England - Apparently not a live-in servant, as living with her mother and brothers at the time of the census
Occupation 1861 Rix Hill, Whitchurch, Devon, England Servant - servant but not live-in, rather living with mother and brothers
Occupation 1881 2, Boons Place, Plymouth, Devon, England Servant - 'General Domestic' at the time of the census
Residence From 1891 to 1901 1, Park Street, Plymouth, Devon, England - With her husband and 6 year old Arthur Lewis Doidge, born Exeter who was surprisingly described as a 'visitor'. Surprising, because Arthur was still with Eliza and Ephraim in 1901 and 1911, perhaps it indicates that in 1891 he had not been with them for long. In 1901 he was described as adopted son.
Residence 1911 59, Furry Hill Road, Mutley, Plymouth, Devon, England - With her husband, Ephraim, and Arthur Lewis Doidge.
Died Mar Q 1924 Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England - Probable death (best fit):

Only other Plymouth RD death to be a good fit:
