Title: Elizabeth Elston
Post by: Cazza47 on Saturday 23 September 23 14:08 BST (UK)
I am trying to find parent of Elizabeth Elston, she appears to have born illegitimately in Birmingham in 1871, I cannot find her in 1881 census, she went on to marry William Gamston in 1891 in Wolverhampton, she died in 1923.

Do you have her Birth Cert?

Her Mother may have married after 1871 and Elizabeth is under Mothers new married name.

A published tree has her as Churm as Trish mentions but there must be a story  :)
1873 Selina Churm has mmn Elston.

I didn't even see a Tree!
I just looked for an Elizabeth (no surname) born c 1871 Birmingham, living in Wolverhampton in 1881 Census.
That one was interesting as such a large gap between William Churm 1864 and Elizabeth Churm 1871.

Looked for Josephs Marriage.
Then found Marriage on FreeREG
