alrighty then, to keep anyone following this thrilling saga
Elizabeth Newman born 10 May 1842 at Downham, to James Newman and Elizabeth Newman (formerly Beckett)
my great grandfather Ernest Addison was born 1889 to Henry Addison and Elizabeth Addison (formerly Banyard)
getting the certs only managed to prove that i need to find some old people and harass them until i get answers, but interestingly i have managed to find a living neighbour of theirs, not sure how to start the conversation with the old girl "hi, my great grandparents lived nextdoor, now tell me what you know!"

oh, and my dad had another rumage thru papers and gave me more names, all Newman, i think i may move my focus to someone else and resign to never knowing the truth to this

attached is the face of the enemy, elizabeth with ernest, dont know who the kid or the dog are

ok, i also have 
http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Marriages&RecordID=1661274

but its spelt Anderson which im thoroughly sure is a mispelling of Addison because everything else works out, just makes me more confused, i think it needs fresh eyes and some sort of logic machine to straighten  it out for me
what you say about her been confused as to her father/surname sort of makes it seem easier to take in,
i think the Robert in this is standing in for Henrys father because he is absent *cough*
forgot to mention that Robert Addison is Henrys uncle, Susans brother
, but whats happening with Charles Banyard and James Newman! is it a mistake and charles is her son or brother or had someone dragged him in? lol
but i think if we could crack this nut then it would solve alot of mystery with other people i have spoken to about this, i talked to the oldest living Addison i know who would have known these people but she says that ernests generation nver had much to do with nor knew much about their grandparents.

morning all, i just registered with this site and am reading this with interest as my great great grandmother is the Elizabeth married to Henry Addison, im stumped because my grandads tree in inherited has Elizabeth Newman b 10 May 1842 and but all records point to Elizabeth been a Banyard, i have birth certs for their children which gives me a puzzle, James William Addison born 1871 born to Henry and Elizabeth (formerly Banyard) and then 2 years later in 1873 theres Louisa Elizabeth Addison born to Henry and Elizabeth (formerly Newman)
i have more but its early, i shall go through it all in few and return, hopefully someone is still reading this
