Title: Dorking Surrey -Elizabeth Jane Walter
Post by: cuenca on Monday 20 August 07 11:37 BST (UK)

Hello

I am wondering if someone may be able to look up a birth or any other information regarding Elizabeth Jane Walter.  She was born c. 1854 in Dorking Surrey.  I have also discovered from  a census that her mother was also Elizabeth and was born in La Rochelle in France.

This family are later to be found in the Lambeth area of London.

I hope this all makes sense!!!

Kind Regards

Sarah

Thanks Liz

I know she was born in Dorking from the 1891/1901 census.

She married a Charles Gaulder in March 1890 in the Camberwell area.  She is listed as Elizabeth Jane F.K. Walter.

Kindest Regards

Sarah

brilliant - so that clarifys which is her birth.

Getting her birth cert will give you her parents - although you have her mother from later censuses by the look of it, and may of course have her father from her marriage cert. Will also give mothers maiden name, which will help find parents marriage
