Notes |
- What is known is that:
a. A George WENSEL m. an Elizabeth HUBLEY of Margaret's Bay at Charleston, Queens in 1858 (see marriage notes)
b. In the 1901 and 1881 Census of Jordan River, Shelburne, the DOB of the George WENTZEL, h/o Elizabeth, matches exactly the DOB for a George WENTZEL who is baptised at Trinity Anglican, Liverpool. This Queens County connection would seem to indicate it is the same George WENTZEL, thus establishing (from the Census) Elizabeth's DOB as being somewhere around 1840 (1881 Census) to 1843 (1901 Census).
Of the two Dates of Birth for Elizabeth, the 1840 seems much more reasonable since, if she were born in 1843, she would be 15 at marriage, which is a bit too young for someone who is far from home.
What is not known are the parents of this Elizabeth. However, if we look at all of the SMB families she could belong to, there are only a few where she fits. One that jumps right out is that of James and Nellie (BOUTILIER) HUBLEY. Now, for reasons discussed in his notes, I have a John HUBLEY b. 1837, d. 05 Dec 1874 placed in this family; what seems important about that is that he dies at Charleston, Queens and that he is married, although to whom we know not. Why it seems important is that Elizabeth HUBLEY is married at Charleston, Queens and most girls of that era were married either in a church, their parents home, or if a parent was not available, the home of a relative.
Nellie (BOUTILIER) HUBLEY d. 1841 at SMB, and so Elizabeth's 1840 DOB in the 1881 Census fits, as does a scenario of Nellie's children scattering when her widower remarries. So, although the evidence is more than somewhat tenuous, for lack of any better evidence I suspect this Elizabeth HUBLEY is the d/o James and Nellie. Thus she is placed with this family. [Bob H]
