Thank you for taking the time to look at this thread.

I would be very grateful for some help in finding a relative of mine. I am interested in finding on the 1841 / 1851 and 1861 censuses

Elizabeth WIGGALL bc 1833-1838 in Birdlip / Cowley / Coaley Gloucestershire

I am sorry I can't be more precise but that is the information from the other censuses after she had married William Workman in 1862. I have his census information and he came and lived in Horsley Stroud Gloucestershire.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you. Shane

Year of Registration: 1862

Dear Linda,
Thank you so much. The information that you have kindly given to me will prove invaluable as another GU member can look up baptisms in Gloucestershire. I will be able to give her this additional information, which will help.
The details look promising as she gives her place of birth as Birdlip on another census. She is also a servant in Horsley, which is where her husband was born and where they lived after their marriage.

As you say I can't be sure unless I order their marriage certificate.

Would you be able to give me the place of birth for Elizabeths parents please.

I am very grateful for your help.
Thank you.
Shane
