Hi,

Do you have any more information? i.e. their approximate ages, where they were born etc?

As far as I can see, they weren't living in Vowchurch in 1891. If you let me know, i'll have a look and see if I can find where they were living.

;)

Regards,
Rebecca

Hi Sarah Jane,

I have tried to find Robert & Elizabeth for you, but so far have not come across them  ???

Do you have their marriage certificate? If so, it should have on it how old they were when they got married.

I'll carry on searching for them anyway, but any ages would be helpful!!

Regards,
Rebecca
