Thanks, Debra. Much appreciated!  ;D

I've ordered Elizabeth Eleanor Lawson's birth certificate from GRO (b. 1854, mmn Gray). I can see there is a marriage notice on the 20th of December 1850 in the "Durham Chronicle" and "Newcastle Courant" as well as in the "Newcastle Guardian and Tyne Mercury" on the 21st for a Thomas Welford Lawson and Elizabeth Gray. I don't have a membership there, but that's enough information to be somewhat sure these are Elizabeth E Lawson's parents. Additionally, all the other info @avm228 has found matches this also.

Will be exciting to get that certificate in the mail! The last ones I ordered took about 3 weeks, not too long really.

Just received Elizabeth Eleanore's birth certificate today.

Pretty sure this is her, father's name and father's occupation matches on E E's marriage certificate to Giovanni. Her age also matches with the age on the marriage certificate.

Father: Thomas Lawson
Mother: Elizabeth Gray

Just as @avm228 suggested.

Mystery solved  ;D
