Christine I have tried everything to no avail and really don't think they all could have died not between 1891 and 1901 without any record. i have tried wild cards too and lds. which amazes me as 1 daughter of irish margaret married in st laurences church birkenhead.Catholic but can't find her baptism or birth either. clearly states elizabeth bain born 1862 birkenhead and married 29/11/1879 (age on there was 21) but when she died 12 years later she was 28.i thought she must have been pregnant and lied when getting married but her first child was born 16/11/1880 nearly 12 months later. all i can say is it must have been love at first sight. regards lizz
