Find Ancestors

I am directing my search for Eliza's family, of which I have found little.
Eliza was born 1841, Bethnal Green.
Her father was James Broomhead, mother unknown.
Eliza married Henry Smith 18/06/1860.
Henry and Eliza are my GG grandparents.
I have lots of information regarding the Smith line, (except for the 3 missing children), but have nothing more for Eliza and the Broomhead line.
I believe she may have had brothers called William, Henry and Edward. It is also very likely that another brother was James who married Clara.
I have searched BMD census' with no luck.
The only one I could find on LDS was a James born 1856, son of James and Ellen Broomhead.
I have also failed to find any match in the 1841 and 1851 census on here.
I would really like to find her mother's name, and her siblings.
Thanks.

Thankyou Maddie. Interesting that she is stated as a minor (I hadn't previously seen that reference). I have her being born 1841 and baptised 1846. As I don't have an actual date, perhaps she was born later than 1841? What was the adult age back then?

just posting these just in case

Excellent Maddie. At the time of her marriage, her address was listed as 3 Ely Place. Her husband Henry was listed living with his family at 2 Ely Place in the 1851 census, so that fits nicely.

wonder if this is james

Just digesting the information. The 1851 census threw me, but I realise Jane should read James.
BRB, I am going to take a look at the birth years for the boys and see if they others fit in.

Possible marriage for parents of James b 1815 from IGI records

Looking at the children, this would give us so far...
Edwin 1838
Eliza 1841
Caroline 1844
William 1859
Edward Corbett
Somewhere in there should also be Henry and perhaps Edwin and Edward are the one and same?
Great to finally have a name for their mother.

probably a long shot

Apart from Eliza, I have absolutely nothing about deaths/marriages etc for any of her siblings, and indeed, I don't know how many there were. The only thing I knew were some names and the baptism date.

Out of curiosity Maddie, is it possible to find the family in the 1861 census? Of course Eliza is married then, but there may be younger unmarried siblings still at home.

not having much joy

does this have any relevance
