Hi Antoinette 12

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

Your post  (and the other http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=781379.0) is a little vague and you may end up receiving information you already have.

Please take a moment to read this

Please try to mention in posts any other information you have and be a little more specific in what you need ie birth, marriage and death info or census transcriptions.

Happy Hunting

Further to the census record for James x Elizabeth posted by both Marmalady and Heatherjulie-

Florence b. 1875 Shoreditch mmn LAYLAND
James b. 1880 Hackney mmn LALAND

The only other result for LAYLAND I can immediately see is Alice Louise 1878 Shoreditch

Antoinette 12, do you have Ada's marriage certificate? Can you confirm her father's name?
