Hi all,
I have another family mystery that has now become apparent.
Im trying to find what happened to my partners 3x great grand mother, Elizabeth Carroll.
Her son was James Butler. On James's birth certificate she was the living at 1 mason street, Grove street, Deptford. Now when I've tried to find this address it comes up as two separate addresses! so that's the first issue.
She claims she was formally Carroll which suggests she married John Butler (James's father). But again I can't find anything to confirm this. No marriage or baptism certificate.
Also in 1871 John Butler is unmarried living a few streets away from James who is a nurse child.
Any advice or help on trying to work out who Elizabeth Carroll was and what happened to her would be so helpful.
I found a Carroll family in 1861 living in Griffin street, deptford. John (from Ireland), Eliza (from Ireland), Elizabeth (Deptford) and Mary. But again nothing to connect them to James. nor any documents apart from the 1961 and 71 census.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and kind regards
