    They have mistranscribed the ref Sunny. It should read 5b 860. The two possibles are Mary Jane Quick and Helena Stacey. The other married a John Sussex.

          Thanks Chrissie. Elizabeth had 2 sons, Reginald Eslick Mules 1889 and John Eslick Mules in 1888, she then married John Eslick in 1894. Sounds like these two sons were his, as she gave them his name. I haven't been able to find John on the 1891 or 1901 census (he may have been away in the Boer war )to get his dob etc:.I want to find his parents.
          thanks again. I have also jotted down 1911 as John Eslick's death year, but I can't remember where I got this info from.

              Most odd Sunny. I see that Elizabeth Mules is calling herself Elizabeth Eastlake in 1901 and married. No sign of a marriage to an Eastlake though.

              I can't find a death for a John Eslick in 1911 either. What census have you got John on?

                  I wonder if the Eastlake spelling was the enumerator's interpretation!! I haven't found him on any census either . I think I'll have to wait and go out to the RO next week and look at both marriages for John Eslick, that should give me the right spelling. I am doing the tree of Reginald's grandson and he did say there was something funny/fishy about Reginald's birth.. Thanks for your help Chrissie.

                    Oh dohhh, what an idiot I am - Eastlake/Eslick, not so far apart. Obviously a mistranscription.
                    Did you get the name John Eslick from Reginalds birth cert Sunny?

                      No I don't have any certs, this is a friend's tree I am doing and he gave me Reginald's full name and that of his brother.

                        So where did you get the name John Eslick from? Ahhhh I see, you are putting two and two together. Their middle name and the possible marriage to a John?

                                  Hi val, John Mules is Elizabeth's brother just above her address and on page 5 her brother William is also there. Her father was John Mules and on the 1891 she and the boys were living with him, Thanks for your reply.

                                    thought I had found your John Eslick in 1881 as Eslic and 1891 as Estlick but not so sure now as he was born in 1844 I would think yours was born abt 1860ish?

                                      Hi Val I think his age could be 27 on the 1881, will taKe a look at the 1891 and also 1871 and before in Cornwall. I had it in my mind that he may not have been born in North devon, as men moved to Appledore (near Torrington) to work in the shipyard there, it's a possibilty as he was a lead miner in Cornwall. Off to have a root round.

                                        Just been having a dig around. Helena Stacey married John Sussex,(found them on the 1891) so that means that John Eslick married Mary Jane Quick who died in 1884. I found Mary Jane Quick aged 21 on the census in Torrington, she was a glover, she was the same age as Elizabeth Mules (also a glover) and probably knew her and John as well. Val found John Eslic on the 1881 also and he was a boarder from Cornwall, he was 27 0r 37 on the census, so it's probably our chap. Can't wait for Tuesday now to go and dig at the RO for them all.
