Find Ancestors

I'm trying to find the parents of Louise Adelaide Townshend born 1876 Southwark. We think her father was Cecil George Henry Townsend ( born 1845 in Lambeth London) and her mother was Hannah or possibily Annie. We think they were married in 1867 in Liverpool. We can't find out the mothers surname.
We would be grateful for any help.
Many thanks

Best check the spelling of the surname:

Thank you everyone for all your replies, great information. We are still puzzled over Hannah/Annie's maiden name. Any ideas? Is Annie often used as a nick name for Hannah?
Many thanks again
Helen

That is the same address and siblings Jacky so looks good to me

hi
yep just noticed that too lol but can,t seam to find the elder child annie with parents in 1871 ??
jacky

There were no rules for spelling as people were not always able to read or write. People wrote it like they heard it. I have a will where has abround 6 variations of the same person ranging from Brock to Braggintonton.
Hannah and Anna? Annie are often synomynous.

wow thats some variation of the spelling would have stumped me lol

FOR REF only
this is the marriage that you found its the nearest one i can find too
