Notes for ELIZA ANN MASSEY:
\nI can’t find Eliza Brearley or Eliza Piper on the 1871 or 1881 census, nor in the birth registration indexes. Tracing back John Brearley’s tree gave me the possible surnames of Piper and Brearly. I’ve found no marriage of a Brearley or a Piper to a Featherstone. Maybe she married someone else before marrying a Featherstone<\/p>\n

\nSubject: Eliza Ann Massey<\/p>\n
Dear Paul,
\nAs you know, our possible point of contact has been my relative John Robert Brearley apparently with a married sister Eliza Ann Featherstone and her son Lionel as recorded in the 1891 Census. They are shown living at 72 Pimlico Road in Belgravia where he is a grocers manager. The 1911 Census for this property indicates a shop with three rooms over including a kitchen.
\nI am confident this John Brearley is my relative since his details are a close match but doubted that he and Eliza Ann were blood relatives. I have recently made contact with Eliza\u2019s grandson, Tony Harris, and he has confirmed that they were not related.
\nThe basic details that I have recently established are as follows –
\nDuring the 1881 Census Eliza Ann Massey from Rotherhithe was a servant to E Henry Harris – an analyst and assayer at 81 Queens Square Bloomsbury. RG11\/337\/22\/pp39&40.
\nIn 1883 they were married in Southwark under the assumed name of Featherstone, but the subsequent census returns record them at separate addresses with Eleazer using his correct surname and shown as single.
\nLionel was born in 1888 with his baptism record indicating the family home at 72 Pimlico Road.
\nEleazer Henry Harris was the only son of Aaron Harris and Sarah Barnett of Bishopsgate. Eleazer lost his father in 1869 and essentially became the head of the family. He had four sisters who did not marry. Eliza Ann\u2019s parents were Joseph Massey and Charlotte Stratton.
\nThe probate information for Eliza Ann Featherstone is cross-referenced with the name Harris, which enabled me to make the connection with Eleazer Harris.
\nIt\u2019s clear that Eliza Ann is not the daughter of John Pimlott Brearley – my great-grandfather – and his second \u2018wife\u2019 Mary Ann Piper as shown on your tree and, it would appear, not a Featherstone.
\nRegards,
\nRobert Dix<\/p>\n
