Title: ELizabeth Creek of Waterbeach
Post by: jenf on Wednesday 18 May 11 07:13 BST (UK)

Elizabeth Creek married Charles Westley (Wesley) in 1860 (possibly in Stretham). She was born abt 1841 in Waterbeach. I have not been able to trace her birth records and as such her parents.

Perhaps the birth was not registered or maybe she was born under another surname.

Does anyone have access to parish records etc that may throw some light on Elizabeth? or indeed is Elizabeth one of your family? 

Hoping that you can help

Thanks
