Brilliant! Any ideas where to look for E J Poile's parents?

[CaroleW]

Her birth is on freebmd in the March qtr 1859 but I can't find her on the 1861/71 census at the moment

[CaroleW]

Have a look at this IGI entry

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NKF2-72Q

I know where to find her now - in 1861 Thomas is shown as Payton

[CaroleW]

1861 Whitechapel St Mary - I saw this entry earlier but dismissed it as he wasn't Thomas

Payton Poile 32 warehouseman b East Grinstead Sussex
Jane   28 b Isle of Wight
Thomas A   6 b London
Elizabeth 2 b London

Are you sure about the Scandinavian connection?

down to 'Jane UNKNOWN b: ABT 1792'...I suspected I'd run into another 'UNKNOWN'...Morgan or Woolgar, but no more info than that...

 I'm getting an Elizabeth instead of Ellen and Morgan instead of Woolgar...
