Hi.
Is there anyone who would know, or can advise me on how I can find the birth date and any other details (father mother etc) for the above lady who is my gt. Grandmother.
I have looked in all of the records that I have access to on the internet (Ancestry, IGI etc) but without any luck.
I have her marriage cert (15 Oct 1855) to James Hodges which shows her father as Charles Durant a brewer (deceased) all of the subsequent census records that I have traced show her place of birth as Bow, Middlesex. in about 1835. ???
I would be extreemly grateful if someone has any ideas on how I can get back further.

Many thanks
Brian

On Her marriage cert it shows Elizabeth DURANT full age spinster. residence at time of marriage Lambeth. father Charles DURANT decd. Occupation Brewer.

I have been unable to find her on any census prior to 1871.
Her husband James HODGES die in 1869 and she married again, taking her 6 children from her 1st marriage into her 2nd marriage to Charles FOOTE. I can then find them all on all of the subsequant census returns at an address in Linford Street Battersea.

Regards

Elizabeth b 1855, Eliza b 1858, Ellen b 1859/60, Amelia b 1863, Louisa b 1865 and Mary b. 29 Sept 1869 (I have berth cert for Mary and it shows mother as Elizabeth HODGES formerly DURANT They lived at this time at 12 Oxford Street Battersea.
