• Notes

  It seems that following the death of Eli's second wife, Emma, he moved to Portsmouth and adopted the name Thomas King. Why this should be is unclear, though his descendants believe this is what happened. Was he trying to escape something which happened in Botley? The evidence for this is as follows. His death was registered under the name Eli Barfoot in Portsmouth, and there is little doubt that his daughter Rosina was the woman who married Albert Hammond in 1893. On the 1901 census, Rosina and her oldest son, Percy are living in Portsmouth with a man named Thomas King who is described as her father. He was aged 62 and born in Hampshire, "town n[ot] k[nown]". This is the right age for him to be Eli. By 1911 his place of birth is given as Southampton. His son, Charles William is also living with Thomas/Eli on the 1901 census, using the surname King.
