Do you know where Henry was born?

What is the name of the child baptised in 1866?

[melody3baby]

Henwas born in walme but registered in shardlow
John Henry in 1866
And also a daughter born in 1870mary Elizabeth and mentions Henry on birth certificate.
On Mary Elizabeth marriage cert in 1889 Henry deceased

Thanks that all helps.

So in theory Henry died between 1871 -1889 - is Elizabeth down as married or widowed in 1881?

Interesting is this the children with their grandmother in 1881 - down as Shipston not Newton

Ann Shipston 60
John 15
Elizabeth 10

1871elizabeth is married and a bleachers mender
1881 Elizabeth  single (not widowed) but a nurse in union workhouses Nottingham
So tags would seem to be why the children are with grandmother
And as you say names changed

[melody3baby]

Also can't find Elizabeth death certificate

Oh Elizabeth single in 1881 - hmmm is she listed under her maiden name?  Something must have happened to the marriage.

Kind of struggling here 

Do you know where the children were in 1891 - did John Henry marry?
