Elizabeth Bartlett Venus born 1860 Lympstone,Devon-can anyone see her -I think she should be at Shapter Street in Topsham,Devon-posibly with mother called Sarah and Father James-or could be with grandparents. Thanks

Thanks Reg thats definitely her-I think she was Sarah Ann's daughter-but not with her later on after her marriage to James Harwood in Topsham. trying to work out who brought her up.-Thanks
