I've got stuck trying to track down Elizabeth's maiden name in order to track down her side of the tree. I thought the best place to start would be a marriage register, however I cannot find their marriage at all!

William Connelly was born c. 1871 in Higham, Kent
Elizabeth was born c.1871 - first child was born c.1891, Gravesend kent.

Has any body got any ideas?

Many Thanks

you need a birth certificate of one of their children which will give you mother's maiden name
