I know I have asked this before and I have got dizzy searching Ancestry, but I am stuck on this woman. 1901 census Eliza Marsden 25 born Matlock Derbyshire living Stockport James H Marsden 25 born Stockport, living Stockport Two children. Eliza Davies and James Marsden were married 1896 Stockport. I thought at first that it was Eliza M Davies 1881 census living at Hamilton Villas Werburgh Derbyshire, but I don't think its her now. But I am struggling going over the same stuff and obviously missing something, a fresh pair of eyes please. Thanks for any help and if I don't reply straight away its cos I have had to do the dogs and horses!!! Gloria

Yes thats them, but I can't find anything on her before this apart from the marriage. I think I have found him earlier, its her thats doing my head in. What is it they say 'Men are from Mars, women from Venus'. I think she came out of a black hole.

Ahh, I mis-understood. You're sure it is Eliza Davies, but not if you've got the right one?

Have you got the marriage cert? Does it have her father on it?

I'd go with this one.... Davies, Eliza M abt 1878 Derby, Derbyshire Stepdaughter St Peter Derbyshire Eliza M. Davis abt 1878 Derbyshire, England Daughter Bailey St 3 Hamilton Villas, Derby St Werburgh, Derbyshire, England But only because I can't find one born in Matlock. However, she doesn't have a middle name in 1901, so might not be her. I see your confusion.

Now Tracy, if I had a brain I would have thought of sending for that. Perhaps that should be my next job after I have fed the horses and dogs. Thanks Gloria

Tracy, we are leap frogging each other with this. I think it was Laird a while ago found me those and I thought I had cracked it but now I am not so sure, in fact I think I discounted them once. I will learn not to discount anything in this game.

Got the birth for that one... Births Jun 1878 Davies Eliza May Derby 7b 517 She should be in the Bakewell district if she was born in Matlock, not Derby.
