It is actually Charles's wife I'm looking for but have not yet been able to find a marriage for her maiden name. Her first name was Elizabeth & she was born 1826 in Winchester. I have not been able to find a likely marriage.

This couple took in one of my gr grandfather's sisters after they were orphaned and in 1881 Jane Lilian is found with this couple, under the name Phillis (by which name she was known until her death) in Camberwell, London.

Can anyone help with Elizabeth's maiden name please? I have not found an Elizabeth with similar birth details in either father's or mother's family. Jane's father's family was Gauntlett, mother's could be either Cooper or Osman, although the mother's name was Thompson. There will be no Thompson's as her mother remarried an Osman and she was brought up by her Cooper grandparents.

Hopefully
Heather

Thank you both, but it's Elizabeth's maiden name that I need. I guess it could be Summey, though I've not yet found that name in my tree either. Summey could also be Charles' female side.

Hi Heather,

This was just to give some background........... so Charles and Elizabeth married between 1861 and 1871, just looking for Emmas death to narrow down a time slot.

Heather, I've had a look to try and tally up a marriage, no joy. Would you prefer to trace Emma......... she seems to be Charles and Henry's mother.

Thank you everyone. It seems that Elizabeth was a Gauntlett when she married Charles, which Ancestry trees place c 1875. I can't find any record of this marriage on either Ancestry or Familysearch. In any case she was obviously living with Charles in 1871.
The problem for me now is that Ancestry trees have her as born in Norton, though both 1871 ans 1881 say Winchester. In itself that's a problem in that I cannot find an Elizabeth Gauntlett b Winchester c 1826, which is also consistent.
I can't even find her in previous censuses with those birth details.
I do wonder if she perhaps married a Gauntlett, but can't find that in 1861 or previous either. I've tried a marriage search with Gauntlett surname and her first name but without success.
Hey-ho, at least I know the connection.
