I am trying to find the birth of Elizabeth Charlotte Gibbings, the problem is she was'nt born Gibbings. She married John Knox Morgan 6-5-1888 and she was 19 her father is down as James Gibbings (Deceased). Her mother was called Charlotte and she had a previous marraige to Lewis Davies but I don't know her maiden name. Can anyone help? Many Thanks Barbara.

Hi Ann, I have search everything for a birth of Elizabeth Charlotte Gibbings and cannot find one nor can I find her under Davies ( a previous marraige of her mothers) so I only presume she was born out of wedlock and took her mothers maiden name unless her mother had another marraige. She did have a sister called Eliza. Regards Barbara.
