Elizabeth JOYCE married Thomas WELDON on Christmas Day 1768. They were described as being of the Parish of Syston.
Ten months later they baptized a son, Robert, followed by Thomas in August 1771 and twins, Hannah and Sarah in January 1773. Hannah died a few days later.
Elizabeth died aged 84 and was buried in Syston on 26 Oct 1823.
The only baptismal record for an Elizabeth JOYCE between 1730-1750 within 10 miles of Syston was in Woodhouse in September 1739, the daughter of Robert JOYCE and Sarah. Woodhouse is 6 miles WNW of Syston. That Elizabeth used both Robert and Sarah's names for her children is consistent, but hardly proof. The timing of the christening is, however, a perfect fit with her birthdate as suggested by her burial record, that is, October 1738 to October 1739.
