Here is more Eaden Lilley info (researched by Graham Hart):

The non conformist registers kept in Dr Williams’s Library contains the
records of the births of four children of William and Elizabeth Eaden
(Elizabeth (1794), Susan (1796), Sarah (1799) and Ann (1806). The Eadens
lived in the parish of Holy Trinity, Cambridge, and the mother’s (Elizabeth
Eaden’s) parents are listed as Bartholomew and Elizabeth Hart. It is also
interesting that a William Eaden was apprenticed to Messrs Ansell and Hart,
Haberdashers, of Cambridge in 1784 for 7 years. It seems possible that Mr
Eaden married the boss’s daughter, and that the boss was Bartholomew Hart,
haberdasher. The same parents, Bartholomew and Elizabeth Hart, also had a
daughter Lydia who married Richard Dimmock in 1796 at St Andrew the Great
and they subsequently had 2 sons, James and Richard, registered in Dr
Williams’s Register. (NB also that in 1787 a William Hart married a Sarah
Dimmock in St Giles Cambridge.)

I hope this helps,

June Monteith
