Hi Wizz In the 1901 Census, Henry Dring is in Louth with a wife Eliza A Dring, aged 39, born Legbourne. There is another Henry Dring with a wife Eliza, but she is 37, born Louth. There is an Eliza M Dring, aged 39, but her husband is Seth, and she is in Long Sutton, born Long Sutton. (There is also a single woman, Eliza Dring, aged 46, in Long Sutton with her sister Susan, but she cannot be the person you want). There is a marriage of Henry Dring and Eliza Ann Archer Jul-Sep 1895, Louth 7a 1167. I conclude this fits with the first of the 1901 census entries, and it fits with your Legbourne record, provided she was born 1861 - 1862, or perhaps earlier if she lied about her age. The oldest child in the house is a daughter of 14, so I conclude that Henry was probably a widower when Eliza Ann married him. I hope this turns out to fit. Regards Stan |

Does it not say Eliza, Great Carlton in 1881? (also just a mile away!) |

Elizabeths sometimes got called Eliza, just as several Susannahs in my family became Susans occasionally. |

Almost certainly the same person, I would say - would be good enough for me. I have experienced the name changing slightly, and birthplace being very close. Joy |
