You need the Marriage Cert. to get facts...(best way to then work back!)


Edits

(and always worth a check in 'Search All Member Trees' (top right of page here, under 'Search') to see if any other GR Members share names, if you then want to make contact)

I think her DOB must be correct 1/1/1887

DAVIES, ELIZABETH WILLIAMS Order
GRO Reference: 1887 M Quarter in BALA Volume 11B Page 334

Does this mean her mother's maiden name was Williams?

That is her death record. My Auntie remembers her death in 1970. I wonder then if her date of birth is incorrect on her death record? There's certainly discrepancies on their year of marriage- comparing the marriage record to the census. Unfortunately I don't have any certificates, I do believe I have seen her death certificate when my Nanna died, but I suppose that'll just match the information on the death record. Any tips where I should go from here?

If this is her death, the day and month of birth match the 1939 register which Alviegal posted, but the year is out by 1. Neither would fit (if correct) with either of the Bala births posted earlier as they are September and December quarter registrations?

And oh yes - it's addictive - MUST go to bed !!

Do you have her marriage certificate? If you do -

What is Elizabeth's age on that and who are the witnesses (it sometimes helps).
Is there anything else on that certificate you haven't given us.

You people are awesome! Elizabeth Skillicorn was my Nanna, which record did you copy that from Alviegal?

All of the records appear to be right, I;m going to check the Bala ones.

Thank you, I'm just a beginner and I'm absolutely hooked!

That's the one! I wasn't sure if Bala was correct thank you! I'm shocked at how many discrepancies there are on the censuses...I've found records where people only age 8 years between censuses.

So this is the correct family, for reference.

Bala (Welsh: Y Bala) is a market town and community in Gwynedd, Wales. Formerly an urban district, Bala lies within the historic county of Merionethshire.

Thanks for replying!
Elizabeth and Philip had 9 children (Sarah, Percy, Philip, Elizabeth, Agnes, Margaret, Elvina, William and George). Although they were married in Wrexham they moved to Egremont in Cumberland shortly after (around 1906 I believe). I have them on the 1911 census living in Cumbria. She is down as Elizabeth Andrew with a birth year of 1884 (I got her birth year of 1887 from her death record). I found the census record by searching for their eldest daughter who is down as Sarah Andrew born 1909. Hope this helps?

EDIT - will remove rest of post now correct family found

Do you have Elizabeth on a census at all??

I am trying to find my Great Grandmother's parents. She was Elizabeth Davies who married Philip Andrews in Wrexham in 1904. I have her Birth recorded as 1887. Her father was John Davies and was a methodist preacher but this is all the information I have. Please help! I keep growling at my laptop!
