Hi Sylvia,

Have got both birth certs mothers name is Martha,maiden name( Paul)

Fathers name Frederick John Coward ....but cannot find a marriage.

So I thought if I could find either of these two with their parents in the 1851 it would give me a lead as to the age of the parents , and so be able to have a rough idea as to when they were likely got married.
Thanks for your time.

Frederica Elizabeth Coward b1851 & Sarah Martha b 1848 Coward.

I have them both in the 1871 census as servants although Sarah is down as b 1849 (actual b is 1848) both of Southwark.
The 1861 has Sarah Martha b 1849 living with her grandparents Ellis & Sarah Coward. cannot find Frederica in 1861 census.
Would like if possible another pair of eyes to find them in 1851 census ,now I do know that 1851 is not yet complete, but here's
hoping for some luck !!
Many thanks to whomever helps......
