Thanks for all the information so far. Some of it, especially one bit of information, looks very promising. I am going to pursue all of this, and hope to report success.

[Thanks for that!  My aunt who is 87 (Elizabeth Cahill Wells daughter) tells me that her grandmother came from Staffordshire. We are not sure how accurate this is!!quote author=Tati link=topic=234046.msg1253903#msg1253903 date=1179692852]
Not sure how likely these 2 are*:
1871
RG10/4780 25 44
Southcoates, Yorkshire
4 Austin? Terrace
Thomas Cahill, head, 26, Ship Yard Labourer, b Worcester
Frances, wife, 17, b. Middlesex London

*BUT the 1891 has a Thomas Cahill, wid, 46, Boiler Maker, b. Worcester boarding at Poplar
He seems to be in Lancashire in 1881:

Her marriage cert states her age as, we think, 25 years. It is hard to decipher it.  I am looking into your info. 'cause its the best lead I have had so far.  The family certainly lived in the Bethnal Green/Mile End, Stratford area of London - that I know.  I know that the family were very poor and that her father had died young so maybe she was taken in by the grandparents

Hi Sandym,

Does it give her age at marriage?

I wonder if this is a possible candidate ...

Can anyone look up Elizabeth Cahill Wells. She married Charles Greenslade in 1904 and on the marriage cert her father was said to be Thomas (deceased), boilermaker. Cannot track her before her marriage!!

Thanks
Sandym

I would really like to see what can be done to improve this. The picture's old and faded. What can you achieve, do you think?
Best wishes,
Sandy

Very pleased you all like the original though.

Just found the marriage cert and Father Thomas Wells is said to be a boilermaker. Elizabeth Wells had a middle name "Cahill" and she died in1953. I do not know any more information.
