Looking for surname of Elizabeth!
« on: Tuesday 28 January 20 16:31 GMT (UK) »
Elizabeth was born in Chulmleigh, Devon in 1803 (+/- 5 years). She married John Snell (1795 - 1873) and living at Burrington. I have been unable to find her on Ancestry and was just wondering if anyone out there has any information on her. She was my 3 x great grandmother.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!

AVM228, yes she made it to the census years but only appears under her married name. I cant find a marriage certificate for her.

Rosie99, Maria Snell is one of her daughters and Robert is her youngest son.

Thank you both

The GRO index is now very helpful and lists mothers maiden surnames on birth registration.  You will need to register for the site if you have not already used it but it is free
