I'm a touch confused (not unusual!!) Your nan is Eliza Elizabeth Ayres and her BC shows mother of Louisa Ayres, formerly Bradford and father of George Ayres. I'm guessing this is her birth Births Sep 1887 AYRES Eliza Elizabeth St. Geo. East 1c 369 You say 'Her birth cert to Berty Gritton states her name as Elizabeth Anstead.' Do you mean her MARRIAGE certificate?? What year do you have Louisa Cooper and George Ayres marrying?

My nan's birth cert (Eliza Elizabeth Ayres) states mother Louisa Ayres, formerly Bradford - father is George Ayres (dated 1887) Her birth cert to Berty Gritton states her name as Elizabeth Anstead. Sister is Rebecca Louisa Anstead (dated 1895) mother is Louisa Anstead, formerly Bradford - father George Anstead. There is another sister called 'Julia Anstead' (abt 1879-1880) who I can find no birth for, but who marries my grandad's brother Arthur Gritton. I cannot find Louisa Bradford marrying anyone called Ayres or Anstead, however: 1874 - Louisa Cooper -m- George Anstead 1882 - Louisa Landon Cooper -m- Frank Ayres 1887 - Louisa Cooper -m- Frederick Ayres The marriage cert of Louisa Cooper & George Ayres puts her as a 'minor' and him of full age. Louisa Anstead is 40 when she dies in 1898. I have spent ages on this, and just can't get past it. What do you think is going on. Really appreciate any opinions or suggestions. Thanks
