Hi Bob
I'm impressed that people still look that far back and thank you for that information on Susanna.
I don't suppose you have any way of looking for a birth record - I still can't find her!  It seems strange as the family had been in Gnossal for generations.  I must admit that life has got in the way quite a bit lately, so I haven't been able to delve very much.
Thanks again
Wendy

Hi Mary
Thanks for your help.  When Eliza married in 1909 she gives her age as 36, so I figure that takes us to a birth in 1873.  The marriage certificate is very poor but I think her father Richard was a journeyman, does that help?  In 1901 she was living in Liverpool with my greatgrandfather Llewellyn Manley as Florence Manley (her middle name) with my grandmother Florence (6) and sister Maud (4).  In 1891 Llewellyn was still with his mother.  So I presume they got together around 1894? I can't seem to trace Eliza before living with Llewellyn.  (However, I am quite new to all this)  Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks for your time and patience

A question for all you wise ones out there...  Is it true that you can have a search of 1911/21 census information?  (I think I read it somewhere a while back)  If so how do I go about it?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Wendy

Thank you for looking for me.  It seems that my Eliza wishes to stay annonymous!!
Perhaps, as you say someone out there may have a more up to date version and be kind enough to look for me.
Thanks again

Hi Peter
I don't quite know how to tell you this but .... it seems that the Stockport thing was a bit of very early detective work which obviously went seriously wrong!!!  I think I ws just looking up individuals and not putting them together.  Cringe with embarassment.  Why does the nutter always sit next to me? you may well ask.  In my normal life I am quite competent (don't quote me on that) but somehow in this field I keep getting my knickers in a twist.  Many, many profuse apologies and just as many thanks for spotting my error.  I don'tl even like to say that at the moment I have had no luck tracing her in Lancashire either - but that's another story and (thankfully for you) not your area.  I promise to try harder in future.
