Yes they may have been,but I am not sure where I can access births abroad.I would have thought they would have had a record at the GRO and I have looked at births abroad on 1837 online.It's funny because Richard and Cornelia, Henry's parents, are missing from the 1881 census too along with Henry, but if he was stationed abroad or on a ship would they appear?I think there has been a cover up somewhere..she must be in someones family tree.or she was adopted in which case we may never know!!

The Henry J Everett in St Mary's Street isn't the one and the one born in Drimpton on the 1881 census isn't either.We sent for the certificates several years ago.They both had daughters with similar names as my grandmother so may be related in some way. My Henry Everetts wife Elizabeth gives a birth town of Llandovery,Carmarthen on one census and Cardiff,Glamorgan on another but I don't know her maiden name and I can't find a marriage for them.My Henry was in the navy and then became a ticket writer,but appears not to be on the 1881 census and neither are his parents Wiliam and Cornelia.We have a birth certificate for Henry.His father William is on the 1891 census is a naval pensioner living in a boarding house with another son.Henry's mother was Cornelia Wands nee Carr.Grateful for all the help and suggestion.Thank you everyone!!

I am unable to trace the birth of my grandmother Elizabeth Violet Everett born 14.10.1883 in Portsmouth.Nothing at the GRO and I have looked through the whole of the 1880's.Appears on 1891 census with parents in London and 1901 census in service in London.Father Henry Everett (born Portsmouth)mother Elizabeth (no surname known born Llandovery Wales))Also unable to trace a marriage for Henry and Elizabeth at the GRO.Iv'e been looking for over 10 years now.Any suggestions as to what else I could try? Thanks
