Find Ancestors

Thanks very much to all for your time, especially Suzy! No Ive not tried Scotland , is Brennen a Scottish name??? or maybe Irish???? Oh heck, if so will be my first connection out of the country! :)) Lib

Well I have had another look, but nothing, not even in 1881. Have you tried Scotland? I have found a few of my missing rellies there! Suzy

Yes Suzy, that is Mary Jane's birth ref, I have the cert! Lib

This is Mary's birth (I think), so she would have been 4 years old in 1897: Lamb Mary Jane Chorlton 8c 946 Birth Q2 1893 Suzy SNAP again!!

Thanks Suzy Yes that looks about right, as her Daughter Mary Jane lived with grandparents from being four and she was born 1893! Lib

Lib This could be her death reference, although her name is very common, but this is the one which matches her best in age and location (although she could have died anywhere): Lamb Elizabeth age 26 Chorlton 8c 570 Death Q1 1897 Suzy

Deborah No it is blank! Not having much luck with this am I... lol Lib

I know her father was deceased by 1891 but was his profession listed on the certificate? Deborah

Hi Suzy The marriage cert is the only source of info I have for her, I know she died by 1901 as her Daughter Mary Jane Lamb was with her paternal grandparents! Mary Jane Lamb is my hubbys grandmother, she lived with her grandparents from being 4yr old. Her father re-married and had more children, which I have located in 1901! Lib

Do you have Elizabeth's birth record or certificate?

Well folks, Dosent look like any of the witnesses lived there either, maybe they were relatives/friends and she just stayed there for convenience! Thanks to all for your input! Lib

Hi Deborah No, it clearly reads '5' and James address clearly reads '6' thanks for suggestion! Lib

Deb/Lib Apparently people getting married often put the same address, although they weren't living together. Something about saving money on the church banns being read in only one parish. Suzy

Suzy Just thought, I will go and check out who is living at 5, Nuttall Street, could be her witnesses John obrien and or Clara Fielden! Lib **************************** snap Suzy!

Names of witnesses on certificate?

Is it definitely a 5 and not 6 the same as her husband.She may have moved in just before she married him and got married from the same address,this is what my gg grandparents did. Therefore she could have been anywhere in the 1891 census. Deborah

No Suzy, unfortunatley she dosent! Lib

Lib Does Elizabeth have a profession on her marriage certificate? The one Fiona had found certainly looks like Brennan, and she is a macintosh garment maker! Suzy

Suzy I didnt think to do that! bloody typical, looks like they have moved between her getting married and census night! Lib

Lady I looked at 5 Nuttall Street, which is 2 images along from her future husband (Lamb family), and there is a different family living there. Perhaps Elizabeth moved there between the census and getting married. Suzy
