Wendy do you think any of the witnesses on the MC are related to Elizabeth at all? Maybe a sibling or 2? hopefully would make an easier more precise match for you ?

Thank you for this. But I have all records after their date of marriage. What I can not find are the details of Elizabeth prior to her marriage.

Thanks, Wendy
