Thanks, Adeliza sounds a very likely original version of the name but can't
see any matches for that around that date and area.
There is a Adelade Jones born Norton who was born about the right time and
disappears after 1881 from the census but it seems to far from Headliza. I
am more inclined to think that it could be the Elizabeth that I found.
I think I will have to leave it open unless my friend gets some
certificates.

My wife's family comes from mid Wales. Her grand
grandmother's christian name is Adeliza. I think that this is
the correct spelling, but it's possible that
Headeliza/Hedeliza were mispelt in the official records!?
Worthwhile checking census records to see which is the most
likely and prevalent name!

Subject: [POWYS] Headliza ? Headeliza ?
Is there a Welsh name similar to Headliza or Headeliza?
I am looking at a friend's family, his Great Grandfather was
John LAMB from Altrincham. His first wife seems to have died
so he remarried Headliza JONES in Altrincham in 1888.
In the 1891 census she is
Headeliza LAMB Age 46 born Stourbridge Staffordshire
In the 1901 census she is
Headliza LAMB Age 56 born Knighton, Radnorshire
I can't find any other occurrences of either name on Ancestry
so it makes me wonder if it is a corruption of a Welsh name.
There is a Elizabeth JONES born 1844 born Knighton living in
Kingswinsford (near Stourbridge) in 1861. She seems the most
likely contender.
