Would SKS look for Elizabeth Alice Wilson born 1881 in Durham/Hartlepool.
Her father was John Wilson c1855 around Durham/Hartlepool.

I have Elizabeth's Marriage(23yrs old) cert from 1904 married Robert Beevor(26 yrs old) in West Hartlepool.

Her father John was deceased in 1904 on the marriage cert.

Thanks in Advance
Sue

Is this the same one that was on here earlier today as I had no luck with 1891

Is father John still a railwayworker or gas stoker but he was born 1850/1 earlier?

How do you know where she was born. A place of marriage is not really the same as place of birth

I think the last one for 1881 census is the wrong family.

Will ring my S I L when she gets home from work about 7pm.

Thanks for all the info.
