Elizabeth Winder [wi.7]

Elizabeth Winder was the seventh child of Edmond Winder & Elizabeth Dawson christened February 10th, 1762 at St Michaels, Bray, Berks.

In 1771 Elizabeth received a legacy of £100 from her uncle Thomas Dawson who died in that year.

Elizabeth also benefited from her mother's will in 1781 when she received £5 for mourning and £100 to be paid to her within one year of her mother's death. She was also allowed to live at Burnham Abbey Farm with her brother Edmond until the time of her marriage. She additionally received her mother's best tankard, best bed & the furniture in the hall and parlour and her mother's clock. She also had a share of the china & linen along with her 2 brothers & her mother's clothes were divided between her & her sister Ann.

Elizabeth married John Boult on October 23rd , 1784 at Bray, Berkshire. Witnesses at the wedding were D Henderson & Edwd Winder. There is a christening for John Boult on February 28th, 1758 at Bray, Berks, the son of Ann & John Boult.

Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, prior to her marriage to John Boult as shown by the following.  Upon the death of Edmund Rowls (b. 1758?) in 1813 his will revealed that he and Elizabeth Winder, who was to become the wife of John Boult, had a natural daughter named Elizabeth Winder.  His daughter was to receive £100 upon Edmund’s death & other monies after the disposal of Edmunds’ considerable assets by his executors – John Webster & William Bayley.   This Elizabeth Winder was also mentioned in the will of Edmund’s wife, Elizabeth Rowls, written in 1796 & proved in 1804.  Elizabeth Winder, described as the natural daughter of Edmund Rowls & Elizabeth Winder, later Boult now deceased, was to receive £10.  Newpaper notices appeared in 1864 stating that Elizabeth Winder or any descendants should make themselves known as it was to their pecuniary advantage.  Apparently no one replied to the many notices & in 1888 a further notice stated that all claims were now exempt from benefit.  The identity of Elizabeth Winder born c1780 remains unkown! 

Elizabeth's brother William Winder [wi.3] appointed as one of the executors of his will in 1789 his brother-in-law John Boult.

There is a burial for John Boult of Water Oakley on February 24th, 1795 at Bray Berkshire.
