I've just started researching my Sentance side of the family. My great grandma Elizabeth Sentance, born 1858, Norwell, Nottingham.
She married Henry Bartholomew Carter (from Roxby, Lincolnshire) in 1883, Hawton, Notts and they moved to Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Their marriage certificate shows her father as William Sentance, Shepherd.
Do you have Elizabeth's birth certificate showing parents names?
If not, you can obtain a digital image from GRO cost £3.00 and the image is available to view once payment is complete and a link to the image is provided on the order confirmation screen.
