Joseph Kertland
Elizabeth HALL:
Born 19 Mar 1825, Stepney
Christened 17 Feb 1843, Whitechapel
Died 1916
daughter of William Hall, tailor, and Rebecca (Richards?)
From C. Fielding:
I was able to trace Elizabeth Hall, wife of Joseph Kertland. My mother found a yellowed piece of paper with her birthdate and that of her sister's. Elizabeth was born March 19, 1825 to William Hall (a tailor) and wife Rebecca (Richards?) in Stepney, London. She was christened Feb. 17, 1843 at St Mary Whitechapel.
Before marrying Joseph Kirtland she had an earlier marriage to James Withers Titley on October 11, 1846 . James was a journeyman painter, born about 1822 in Shrewsbury and died August 3, 1851. He drowned "whilst swimming" in the Regents Canal. The two had one daughter, Elizabeth Amelia Titley born June 30, 1848 who married a William Gilbert (about 1843 to 1898) on Oct. 5, 1868.
Elizabeth Amelia was brought up as Joseph Kertland's stepdaughter. Joseph witnessed her wedding and Elizabeth Amelia's sixth child was named Joseph Kirtland Gilbert (1882 - 1890).
Elizabeth Kertland
Family
Irish, boys said to have ran off to sea cos father wanted them to become priests
From C.Fielding:
William Kertland's marriage to Ann is in Pallot's Marriage Index 1780 - 1837
A William Kertland married Ann Triffitt in 1814 (no date is given) at St Marylebone. That
would be one year before Maria was born, so it certainly makes sense. I
looked for Triffitts in London at Familysearch.com and there were fourteen
records of which a number of them were for Triffitts in the 1790's in
Marylebone, the time and place we would expect Ann to be born. There was no
record for Ann, unfortunately. She might be the daughter of Edward Triffitt
and Sarah.
