The Family of Charles Elliot and Lydia Bayley of Hayes, Middlesex, England, Part 1: Birth Records

We know from Charles Elliot's will that he and his wife had at least nine children:   Martha, Mary, Lydia, Charles,John,  Robert, William, Josiah, and Thomas Elliot.  An examination of the Hayes parish records shows that they actually had ten:  a son, Edward, lived for only a year.  Here are the christening records I have been able to find for their family.  Four children are missing:  Charles, Thomas, William, and Lydia.  Some of the Hayes parish records are very badly faded;  it could be that the records for these children have deteriorated.

Unfortunately Edward died at approximately a year old.  Here is his burial record:

27 October 1779.  St. Mary's Church, Hayes, Middlesex.  Josiah Elliot christened.

There is a big time gap between the births of Martha and John.  Probably some of the other children were born during this period.

While going through the parish records, I found some Elliot burial records I could not identify.  Here they are:

St. Mary's Church, Hayes, records 1773 death of Robert Elliot of Harrow-who is this?

St. Mary's Church, Hayes, May 12, 1775.  Burial of Joseph Elliot--could he be another Elliot child?
