Jerimiah's father is shown as a labourer on his birth certificate. His mother was Sarah (formerly Scopes) who died when Jerimiah was 3 years old.

Jerimiah used his middle name as often as not. His occupation was dyer (at his wedding) and foreman at May & Baker Ltd; chemical labourer at James' birth and chemist at James' wedding.

Jerimiah made the move from Suffolk into London.

Elizabeth used a mark rather than a signature at Elizabeth's birth and was shown as living at  Burford Road, Stratford. She also used a mark at James birth but signed her wedding certificate.

Their father was called Samuel who was living in Sutton, Suffolk in 1881 with his third wife.

In 1901 Elizabeth (the mother) was shown as Head of house at 32 Oakfield Road, East Ham with children Samuel (26) - a varnish warehouseman, Elizabeth (23) - Shirt and Collar ironer, Emma (22) - Cotton driver, James(18) barman spirit gate and Ada (11).

Samuel's wife (Eliza,26) was also there with their children Ada (4) and Charles (2)

In the early 1930's Dora (Ada's daughter) said Elizabeth lived with them at 40 Howard Road, Ilford, Essex. (Information and young Elizabeth photo from Val Elphick, who is Ada's grand-daughter).

According to Doris Meech, Elizabeth Wannell was brought up by a family other than her own, who were fish merchants in Billingsgate. 

When Jerimiah died, Elizabeth, son Samuel and daughter Elizabeth, set up a laundry business in Ripple Road, Barking.
