Arc tbc----------Leopard
Hi,
I am hoping someone can work their magic and find Elizabeth Leopard for me, in 1841 she is in the house of Richard Jewkes Southalls lane Dudley along with Henry Guest and William. The Henry Guest I think is the one I posted about yesterday and William is William Henry their son. I can't find any evidence of their marriage maybe they didn't. Henry is living with an Elizabeth as his wife in later census, but I can't find anything about her parents or where she came from. This all links to Mary Emma Guest my great great grandmother who I believe was their daughter, I am still looking for her birth certificate I have sent for several from Dudley but with no success.
My main quest at the moment is to find Elizabeth Leopard, I hope someone can help.

Re: Leopard
Hi Nessa, is this Henry who Married Elizabeth; the son of Henry Guest and Charlotte Cooper? If so, do you have any idea as to when he Married an Elizabeth? There is one to an Elizabeth Spittle St Martin's B'ham 31.8.1846.

Re: Leopard
Hi linell,
That is the same but I don't have any further information other than her name. That is why I was hoping to find Mary Emma's birth certificate to see if it had the mothers name.

Mary Jewkes abt 1786 Dudley, Worcestershire

Re: Leopard
It's ok I found her in 1851, Emma was born about 1844 Dudley. There's an Emily Guest born Dudley 1846, did you try that Birth Certificate

Re: Leopard
i have a letter from a firm of genealogists from 1976 to my father in which they state that Elizabeth Leopard was the mother of William Henry Leopard who later changed his name to Guest and the father could have been Henry Guest which the ages link to the 1841 census, as for Mary Emma Guest I did find the christening record at the archives but it only gave the date and her fathers name Henry Guest and the address as Netherton Hall.

Re: Leopard
Shouldn't there be a Number on the Christening Record NL which ties in with the Number on a Birth Cert
