I am stuck trying to get any further on my relatives. Managed to find Elizabeth Sarah Lee born 15/3/1867 and died 1948. She married Geroge Johnson in 1888 but can't get any further.

Have tried searching but there are so many George Johnsons can't find who her parents were or if she had any brothers or sisters.

Can anyone help?

You need to buy that birth cert to get her parents names right.

Or buy the marriage cert which should name both their fathers.

Thanks Lindsey. I think I'll try the marriage cert first as am not sure I found the right one in births. There seems very little on her side of the family I know my grandmother was one of 13 children Lily Johnson but again seems to vanish.

Thanks so much! I'm going to show this to my mum who has been trying for years to find something.

(Her mother died before I was born and her father died without sharing much so haven't much results for her before!)

Hopefully we can piece together some more. You're a great help.
