Elsy was the daughter of Benjamin and Mary Scott Eyre. Born and raised in Brauncewell, Lincolnshire, England, I had always wondered how she met and married a Yorkshire lad. The answer came when I found her in service to the John Cordeaux family in the 1851 census. Well, sort of. The family was in Hoyland, Yorkshire at that time, where Elsy married George Gray, so I could plainly see how she met him. But how did she come to be in service in Yorkshire? When I looked at the census details, it quickly became apparent that John Cordeaux was a minister. He was born in Dorset, but his wife and several children were born in Lincolnshire. Ah! Was Elsy in service with him in 1841? Sure enough, there she was with this family in Yorkshire in 1841. She must have entered their employ while they were in Anwick, Lincolnshire - just 7 miles from her home village - where three of their children were born from 1834-1839. Elsy married George in 1859. They had three sons - John Benjamin in 1861, James Eyre in 1863 and George Edward in 1866.
