My Grandmother’s wedding cert says that Henrietta Elizabeth Wilson was 25 when she married Thomas Chapple on 8th May 1907 in West Derby/Liverpool.

Jane Ellen Wilson, her Mother’s 1881 census, West Derby/Liverpool, says that Henrietta was 2.

I cannot find Henrietta’s birth registration – help please!

I think I have found her two Brothers, her sister Anabella Jane is proving to be very illusive also.

I think this might be your Anabella.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index: 1837-1983
about Arabella Jane Wilson
Name: Arabella Jane Wilson
Year of Registration: 1877
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: West Derby
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 326 (click to see others on page)


Looking at the 1881 census I think the R has been mistranscribed.
