An address connection of sorts:

Circa 1889 to 1891, a well-known Australian family were living at 39 Norfolk Square, Paddington.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Campbell_Praed

1891 census - Mr Praed, children, and servants residing at 39 Norfolk Square.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QQ78-JW2

The Praed family were in Northants in the 1881 census.

Who knows...perhaps Elizabeth A Edwards was a servant with this family before she emigrated.

Can you please give attention to my questions at my reply #3.

This information will assist people on this forum to help you with your research.

Hi, I did answer your question #7
There wasn't any witness on the certificate.

Isabel

That’s weird. Is it a typed official certificate rather than a printout of the actual entry?
(We always recommend buying the print out when you can.  It has the most info and is marginally cheaper)

Elizabeth came out to NZ at the age of 16 yrs. She was with her sister Lousia Annie who went on to Australia.

She was on her own and aged 18.

Well done! 

Thinking that perhaps one of the other single women from Middlesex might have been a friend - I started looking for Matilda BURGELL age 28.  But I cannot find a single thing.  Am I reading her name correctly?


Added to say found her as Matilda Girling who married Henry Burgell, but where is she in 1881?
Similarly not seeing a good candidate for Florence Pritchard who was the same age as Elizabeth?

I think it was the printout. I will look it out. I have it filed away.
