Why do you think she was lying about her age on her marriage cert? there is this birth which is only two years out.It's the informant who tells the registar the date of birth so he/she might not have known the correct year. |

Unfortunately, Joanne, you have started a new thread when there are two existing threads about the same thing. |

Thanx for the info.....the reason i think she was lying about her age at the time of marriage is simply that the whole family thinks she was lying.....she must have told the story or i wouldn't know but it gos like this.....Elizabeth was 14 and fell pregnant to the son of the household she worked for so they got married...in the end it just sounds like chinese whispers so I am really none the wiser lol |

Hmmm...interesting liverpool is a bit far to be my family but this Joseph 1 looks smack bang in the middle of my lot...I have never heard of him but still I think I'll kepp the record just in case |

Richard Richardson had a brother named Joseph I have hime in the 1901 census aged 4 and my mother says he had an accident on a train track but i don't know if he was a child or adult....it does seem possible also I think the other Joseph may have died young too if he is my family as i have not been told about him |

James may not have been from Houghton some people can remember a Lancashire accent from Elizabeths side................More confusion lol x x |

The most likely looking Jane Seery in 1901: |

Holland-Seery could be completely the wrong couple, I was just looking to see where Jane Seery might be, to see whether there's a James Holland in the vicinity who might fit the specs for Elizabeth's father -- since Jane Seerys are a little more scarce on the ground than James Hollands! |

Could be some excellent info here, if its the right James...I am going to order the birth cert for that Joseph and see if it is my Family because that will pose some interesting questions like why was he forgotten and never mentioned again....Ican't wait for the 1911 census it's going to clear up alot let me tell you x x x |

So to recap Elizabeth could have been born in 1903 her brother could have been born 1906 Her mother could be Jane Seery and she could have had a son named Joseph who was forgotten about..............this is a lot of coulds many avenues to follow here should keep me going for a bit. |

There are waaay too many James Hollands in Lancashire for me! |

It defo says he's a coal miner..............hmm more interesting......I wonder if the accent the Richardson kids could remember stemmed from Irish as Owen came from Ireland......and the plot thickens |
