Elizabeth seems to have been a very busy woman and a glutton for punishment.

The site does seem temperamental!!!

SylviaInCanada Report 23 Apr 2017 01:06

In fact, Frank died before Lena was born ...............

Frank died 22 November 1892

Lena was born 14 Dec 1892 according to the CofE baptism, or 14 January 1893, according to her Catholic baptism.

Registration in March quarter 1893 is correct for either birth.

But it looks as though she might not have told Henry Gouldsmith that she had been married before ............ the register apparently shows that she was single, and the father's name on that record of Thomas Hoblyn appears to be a combination of her own father's name (Thomas) and Frank's surname.
