If you have time could I get a birth lookup for Elizabeth Jones, her death cert says she was born 6th July 1881, Dudley. I know from her marriage cert her father was William Jones and I think her mother was a Mary (Ann).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Elizabeth Jones
Christening: 15 DEC 1881 St Matthew'S, Wolverhampton, Stafford, England

Hi NL
Thanks - I've got Elizabeth and Enoch's marriage cert, it was Elizabeth's birth I was interested in.

Looks to be my Elizabeth Jones aged 8 on the 1891 (Thanx RG) with her mother Mary, and Mary's new hubby John Hollies (just found this marriage ref on freebmd) and thought I would order this.

Oh Gardner, that's looks very promising, thanx

Come on RG stick yer Censustuff on here too
Dont be shy!

Farside that marriage ie this one...

1889
HOLLIES John JONES Mary A Dudley, St Luke Dudley Register Office 223/001/209

Should be viewable at Dudley archives so up to you if you wish to order it but I might be able to get the details for you.
If you wish this please request under the Dudley archives look up thread.


ps always worth checking on any marriages in the Dudley area whether the records are held at the archives saves a bit of dosh.

Farside must have been reading my thoughts
Found this in 1891 census
John Hollies 1859 Miner b Dudley
Mary HOLLIES 1851 b Dudley
John Hollies uncle unmarried 1821
Elizabeth JONES 1883 daughter of wife b Dudley
31a Angel street Dudley
it was only a idea
it would be good if you get NL to look for you in-case wrong

I have since found out Elizabeth's mother was Mary Ann Palmer (from Mary Ann's second marriage), so I think that may very well be my Elizabeth's christening (Thx Pete), I ordered a birth cert for Elizabeth but it's not the right one, is there anyway of finding out if the above mother's surname is Palmer.

would the mother name be in full ie maiden name on parish entry at the archive NL?
