Ladies,

It is time to get some shut-eye. If you, like me, have been trolling the records until the eyes fail, it is time to rest.

Perhaps we can carry on in the morning.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I really appreciate them

hey its nice to have found one that can be ruled out

Hi BoroGirl,

It is really freaky that you found an Elizabeth Isabella Smith, however, she was 'married' to Albert James Purkiss at that time or she was certainly giving birth to his child - Louisa May Purkiss (October 1908) Sheppey 2a: 983:

Peter

Hi Peter its likely to be Medway if they lived there
can't find that one on freebmd


I did find this one

Marriages Sep 1908 (>99%)
SMITH Elizabeth Isabella Barnet 3a 699
SMITH Owen Barnet 3a 6

which is why I asked about James Smiths brothers


I looked for the smith/purkiss marriage i didnt find it
its unlikely she was married before she was sixteen isnt it

Hi Christine,

In 1891, Elizabeth was just 16 years old.

If she was married prior to both Smith & Purkiss, how will I know,? It all takes place between censuses!!

Perhaps I should be looking for Elizabeth Smith for the marriage to Albert Purkiss?

I'll have a look

Regards,

Peter

Hi BoroGirl,

Elizabeth had two sisters, Alice A and Lavinia Harriet and a brother Charles C W

I notice that there is a Charles W Stead married to May E Wilson 1916 Medway (2a: 1549) could this be him bearing in mind they all lived in Chatham (Medway)

Regards,

Peter
