Mary Elizabeth Marshall

[whitbygeoff]

I am trying to find the birth details of my grt grandmother Mary Elizabeth Marshall b.abt 1847 in Lambeth. She married Henry Carnell Palmer in 1871 at St. Pancras Church. her father was George Marshall, a cabinet maker. I have found an Elizabeth Mary Marshall  Vol4/298 but this is not my Mary! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Geoff.

Hi Geoff

Have you considered

                                              Regards

Thanks Geoff  but I don't understand what IQ 1847 St. George East 21*  Obviosly 1847 is the year but I'm still trying to come to grips with the jargon. Sorry Geoff

The birth was registered in the 1st Q 1947 and the GRO Index is St Geo East

Vol No 2  p114

From this you can order the cert. (if you think it is correct) from the GRO website online at a cost of £7

Thanks for the lesson Geoff - will now follow this up. Geoff

I am not at all sure if that would be the correct certificate. I see from the Census records that her dob was consistently given as 1847. If you do order a cert. don't forget that you can give a cross reference for example the name of her father, and then if it is not correct you obtain a refund of £4 so it only costs £3.  Hope that is clear.

Hi Geoff

Now I don't think it would be the correct certificate as I can see a Mary Ann Elizabeth Marshall on both the 1851 and 1861 Census born St George East 1847
and it does not correspond to your Mary Elizabeth

Hi Geoff, Thanks for your help. Mary is quite an elusive character. I can trace her by census and marriage certificate but as to her birth and death she is like the scarlet pimpernel. Will keep on trying all tips. Thanks again. Geoff
