My grandmother was Sophia, who was 3 in 1871 census. Reason I didn't think it was John and Elizabeth in 1861 is that it shows Elizabeth born Soham not Godmanchester. Also didn't recognise Eliza. I had Mary Anne but I now believe it to be correct because Mary Anne was Mary Anne Eliza.

New to posting so please bear with me.

I think you need daughter Eliza's birth certificate to see if her mother was Elizabeth Clark. Who are you descended from?

What is the name of her child, your ancestor?
Also, should this be on your previous thread, as we do not want to spend time duplicating information?

Elizabeth is my ggmmother and I have struggled to find my ggfather. I thought it was Ratford Seal as per recent thread but because of members input this was disproved. I know believe she married John Seal in 1858 (Soham (Newmarket)). However I can find no trace of either in 1861 census. There is a John and Elizabeth Seal in Soham but I am sure it is not them.
Then in 1871 Elizabeth is living in Soham but no husband, status - married. In 1884 she married John Darnell as a widow.
Any input appreciated.
Paul
