The birth certs would give her maiden name too.

Have you checked on freebmd for a marriage involving a Mr lantaff and an Elizabeth in the right time frame?

Hi,
I'm after some advice - very new to all this.

I have found my G.G. Grandmother in the 1901 and 1881 census'. She is listed as Lizzie Lantaff aged 54 (widow) in 1901 and Elizabeth Lantaff aged 34 (widow) in 1881. I can't find her under Lantaff in the 1871 census so I'm thinking she maybe got married between the two?

How can I find out her maiden surname? I don't know what her husbands name was but have checked a few possibles but they don't seem to match because of the dates and names of later children.

I know she had 3 children - Emily, George and Susan so thought the easiest way would be to try and find their birth certificates and see if the father is named. My grandmother was Emily Lantaff but I can't find her birth either!! She would have been born 1873-1875.

I'm not sure where to go next - any tips appreciated!
