Only problem is I cant find her birth in 1863 or anything to do with her father. Im totally stumped on this one and cant go any further with out these links! If anyone can help I'd be so so grateful! thank you

Apart from the usual census sites and 1837online and familysearch.org, are there any other ways of tracing those hard to find rellies???
