Research Notes
He is not John Thomas Ely[7], son of John Ely and Ann in, Camberwell. He married in Camberwell in 1839[8] and lived in Surrey with his wife in 1881.[9]
Before 1808:
John, the son of John Ely and Ann, was born in 1807 and baptised on November 18, 1807 in Westminster, London, England.[10]/John, the son of John and Ann, was born on July 29, 1807 and baptised on November 18, 1807 in St Clement Danes, Middlesex, England.[11]
John, the son of John Eley and Ann, was born in 1806 and baptised on March 9, 1806 in St Pancras, London, England.[12]
John, the son of Samuel Ely and Curune, was baptised on May 4, 1806 in Holborn, London, England.[13]
The other baptisms on FindMyPast have middle names, so it doesn't seem likely to be him as they're never included on any census:
John Watts Ely, the son of John and Charlott, was born on 20/08/1810 and baptised on May 26, 1811 on Red Lion Street, St John, Wapping, Middlesex, England.[14]
John Richard Ely, the son of William and Ann, was born on October 18, 1809 and baptised on July 29, 1810 in St George, Hanover Square, Middlesex, England.[15]
Attached parents are because of a baptism record in Saint Giles in the Fields in 1808 with the child John having no middle name.[16]
