Welcome to rootschat pepewinsome.

I think that the signatures written by Sarah and Elizabeth are written by different people.

Where are signatures from? Some certificates are filled in by a third party and some contain the original signatures.

Another vote for different people - Elizabeth's is more hesitant, Sarah's more confident & flowing.

One is wedding cert the other a signed witness, the thing that gets me is why would sister have the same middle name? Plus elizabeths birth cert has Elizabeth S Spring..sarah?
I have more signatures ill round them up, because they actually sign different yet again than this...
thankyou for the welcome, im SO happy i found this sight :)

What birth certificate do you have for Elizabeth?  Are we talking UK or elsewhere?

Between 1840 and 1890 on free bmd I get one hit:-

Births Sep 1853   
SPRING    Elizabeth Susan        Whitechapel    1c   348

Is this yours or someone totally different?

I agree too different ladies.

Have you looked for them on census - if one certificate is a marriage the father should be named so we can look for them  :)
