yes thanks i was panicking because i have loads of branches steming from elizabeth being as she was my direct ancestor and i thought i would have to re do all my tree from her but ive managed to swap it over thank god ... ty neway .. does it say newhere who her mum was or will i have to get the cert for that? ive got her marriage cert and it names her dad as william weal .. strange her parents both had the same surname before marrying how can i find out what relation they were to each other? |

well If its Elizabeth then i think thats her birth record I posted ,the cert will name her mum but Susan being a second name looks promising ! |

If Elizabeth named her father as William then this could be a face saver because looks like she was illigitimate |
