Can I ask again
How do you know the eliza we are looking for was born in Stoke on trent.?Do you know that she is from there or is it that the birth date matches and the fathers name on the wedding cert with the fathers name on the census of 1881.

Could Rowson have been mistrancribed as rawson on a marriage to McGee?

I looked at Hannah Davenport one baptised st Johns Longton 18april 1858 mother elizabeth Davenport.
Then there is a death of an elizabeth davenport 1q1861. Hannah's mother seems not to be married,.
therefore for hannan to be a niece of thomas, thomas must have married a davenport- so eliza ( senior)nee davenport? I couldn't spot a marriage for them either

I find it strange that eliza was 44 in 1871and had two children 2 or under and no older ones.
albert died a year old in december quarter 1871.
all very interesting but getting us no near the mcgee connection

hello,I was going by surname Rowson on Eliza Mcgee marriage cert. to Thomas Birchall in 1914(Elizas dad being Thomas Rowson deceased)Her agebeing 46 years in oct.1914,making her birth 1868.Therefore i found the Staffordshire birth for 1868.
Eliza died in nov. 1923 age 54?
Found Eliza in 1871 census with Thomas and Eliza Rowson age 2?Then in 1881 census age 12?So will look into the info you have given and her birth year.Thanks for that :-D

I think the evidence gievn on page 2 shows that she was never pickles and didn't marry James McGee

ref; my Eliza Mcgee nee rowson,have since found the birth cert.(after taken nearly 3 years!)of her daughter,Sarah Ellen Wheat.Have got in touch with lost cousin ,who was able to tell me,Sarah had a half brother with the surname,Marsden.Marston or Marson??So eventually have found "My Sarah" as born in 1894 12th feb.(we know this as her birth date) mothers name Elizabeth Marsden formerly Lockett!
As Elizabeth being the same person as Eliza,goodness knows!But just to let all those that helped,that ,I found my grandmother,Sarah. ;-)
