Family tree▼ Facts and Events
Elizabeth Pearman was baptised on 6th March 1757 at Walkern in Hertfordshire, daughter of a farmer called John Pearman and his wife Sarah. When Elizabeth was quite young the family moved to the neighbouring parish of Ardeley, where some of her younger siblings were baptised. The family would later be described as living at Luffenhall, a hamlet on the borders of Ardeley, Walkern and Clothall parishes. On 19th January 1779 Elizabeth married a widower called Joseph Males at Ardeley. He was about fourteen years her senior and lived at Knebworth, a few miles to the south-west. After their marriage, Elizabeth and Joseph moved to Knebworth, having a daughter called Sarah baptised there in 1779 and a daughter called Mary baptised there in 1781. By the early 1790s they had returned to Ardeley. Elizabeth died at the age of 35 and was buried at Ardeley on 12th September 1792. Joseph survived her by about 27 years. Elizabeth's parents also outlived her - her mother died in 1807 and her father died in 1810; his will left legacies for Elizabeth's two daughters and for her widower Joseph. References
