Partridge

[willis]

Can any one help me find my great grandmother before her marriage?
Her name was Elizabeth Partridge born 1868 in Weeley Essex so the cenusu tells me. She married James Scott in Colchester Essex in 1888.
I do not seem able to be able to find her on the BMD or any census prior to the 1891
On that one they where living at 27 Victor Rd with their family
Sure it's me being useless!!
Many thanks

Well, Weeley is in the Tendering Regn District, so this must be her ...

This is the only Partridge family in Weeley in 1881. May be a connection.

If you get Elizabeth's Marriage Cert to James Scott, hopefully her Father will be named Robert to confirm these findings ....
