Hi Everyone,
I am searching for information on Elizabeth WAY born 1822, baptised 13 Oct 1822 Athelhampton with Burleston d/o William WAY and Ann WAY (nee Ann Penny MILLER).
I cannot find Elizabeth on the 1841 census or a burial before that. I know there is a birth and burial of an Elizabeth WAY in Milborn St. Andrew but this is not the one I'm looking for!
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!
