[glen11]

Hi,
This query is for my friend.She wants to know if anyone can find the birth of this lady,or her life ,before she married.Elizabeth Layer,born Carmarthen,1859-60.Married William Tuckey 1888.On the marriage certificate,her father is put down as William-groom.She really wants to know about her birth,and where she came from.Anything would help.Thank you Glen

there's this entry in the 1871 census which would make her a little younger

3 Towy Side Carmarthen RG10/5497 folio 54 pg 36
Elizabeth Fisher head  mar 36 laundress
Anthony son 13
Eliza A Layer boarder 9
Emily Layer boarder 8
Mary J Layer 6 boarder
all born Carmarthen

[osprey]

if Eliza's birth wasn't registered, you could get a cert for one of her sisters

Emily Layer sept qtr 1863 Carmarthen vol 11a pg 641
Mary Jane Layer march qtr 1866 Carmarthen vol 11a pg 724

death reg for their mother?
Ann Layer 26 dec qtr 1866 Carmarthen vol 11a pg 447

Where did Eliza(beth) marry?

[glen11]

I think my friend has this census,she is probably going by the marriage certificate.

[glen11]

She married co.Kildare Ireland.My friend has found the sisters birth,cant find Elizabeth though.

Hi Osprey,can i ask where you found the birth from,was it Free BMD?My friend thinks that could be a good match,she has searched high and low.Thanks

[osprey]

it was on FreeBmd. And from other records, Ann was buried 13 Nov 1866 and her abode was noted as Towy Side.
