Find Ancestors

Hi,
I'm trying to find the parents of Elizabeth Smith, born abt 1797 in Pailton, she married James Adams in 1840 in Daventry and went on to have 8 children.
Thank you.

If her baptism isn't on the LDS sites, you will need to visit the County Records Office

Do you really think she produced 8 children after the age of 43?

If that is the right marriage then the cert should name her father.

Here is an 1840 marriage in Daventry for a James Adams, but there is no Elizabeth Smith in the list:

Sorry for delay! Lots for me to look at! I'm trying to remember where I got her maiden name from, I gave up on this line about a year ago and have now decided to revisit it. So it looks possible that her maiden name might not be smith after all then?

Think I am going to have to remove her surname and start again as looking back over my ancestry I believe it is one of those that saved when I viewed another tree but there are no records to confirm. I don't like to have stuff on there that isn't definate! Sorry for confusion.

You need also to re-think her marriage year!

I was thinking the same but I have a marriage record that matches??? Confusing again!
