What do you mean by 'bmd'? Have you checked 1837online? Which is the earliest census on which you have them married? nell

hi nell, forgot 1837, I dont have them on any census yet as married, my nan was born 1887 so presumed it would be about 1886. thats if they were married. it says on my nans birth certificate mother lizzie rixon formerly clark. jean

With the difference in age, is it possible she married someone else before George?

Jean Report 16 Nov 2005 17:59

hi helen, didnt think of that as there is only 6 years between them, my nan didnt marry until she was 27 so thought that was the same with lizzie and george. jean

Why not order the certificate - it should tell you if Lizzie (short for Eliza or Elizabeth) was married before. I have one lady who married 3 x and her last certificate quotes both previous married names and her maiden name! regards
