Heres Lizzie se was aged 2 months on the 1881. Births Mar 1881 COWELL Elizabeth St. Geo. East 1c Any of those birth certs will tell you Mums maiden name

Glitter Baby/Shirley/Gwyneth/AngelaElizabeth Thanks for your replies, I have printed them out and will be sifting through it all this afternoon, Interested in possible Marriage of Joshua to possibly Amelia Atkins Sept 1851?? Was this his second marrige?. As he had by then possibly 5 children?. If its the right one, according to the 1851 census the following are listed Susan(13) Eliza(10)George(15)James(3)Joseph(17). I think Joshua died Dec 1858 If its the right one (St. Geo. East 1c348)?? Many thanks Brian
