James was an Ostler between

James and Mary's first child,
Edward Reading Howe, was born in Dunchurch in June 1815 but died at 1 year old.
They had 2 more children in Dunchurch. About 1820 they moved to Foleshill,
Coventry. James was a Publican between 1821-1835 in Foleshill, running the
Prince William Henry Public House on the main Foleshill Road. They had 8 more
children. In 1841 James was in Coventry Gaol (reason not known) and Mary was a
coal dealer at Well Street in central Coventry with the children. By 1851 James
was back with the family, now in Cook Street, Coventry and described as a
Brewer. It is believed he died about 1858.
* The 2nd christian name of
Reading is interesting. So far no reason for this has been found although there
was a Reading family living very close to Dunchurch at the time |

I am not absolutely certain about
Elizabeth's birth as there was another possible baptism. In view of the place
of her marriage and stated age at death I think she was the Elizabeth Walker
born and christened at Steeple Aston in 1786. However there was also an
Elizabeth Walker christened in Banbury in 1788. Banbury being nearer to Bloxham
where her husband was from. So there is always the slight possibility that it
could be this Elizabeth and the couple went to Steeple Aston. |

Banbury area. In 1837 they were destitute and living in the Banbury Workhouse
where their son John was born. Around 1838-9 William and Martha, decided to
move the 30 miles to Coventry where there was more work. After arriving in

|
|
| Death of Husband: |
Caleb died in 1909 in Coventry
but by that time Eliza had been living with another man for many years. |
|
|
| General: |
Eliza's early life is obscure. In
the 1851 Census she was at Hill Street, and in 1861 she was in nearby Spon
Street, Coventry with her parents . After her marriage to Caleb the couple were
in Hill Street btween 1871and 1877. By 1881 they had moved out of the city
about 1 mile to Radford (Common), where they stayed until about 1890. Then
Eliza apparently ran off to the north of England with her lover, a builder's
labourer, who was said to be working on a nearby Public House. She took 4 year
old Sarah Jane with her but left the baby Annie and other children with husband
Caleb. It seems she settled in Sheffield with her new partner, Thomas
Alexander. In 1892 Eliza gave birth to a son also named Thomas Alexander. It
was difficult to find her in the 1901 Census as she was recorded as Elizabeth
Nicholls living with partner Thomas in Sheffield. Her daughter Sarah, aged 15,
was found living and working as Domestic Servant at the house of a Clergyman
and family in Sheffield. Eliza must have kept in touch with the family she left
behind in Coventry because in 1909, very soon after the death of her husband
Caleb, she remarried in Sheffield to Thomas Alexander, the man she had been
living with. Nothing more can be found so far about Eliza. It is known that her
daughter Sarah returned to Coventry in her late teens and married and settled
down there. |
