Thanks Celia, I am aware of that entry on IGI. A. Swettenham is a long way from where she says she was born eg Acton on one census and Bunbury on others, B,on her marriage certificate there is no mention of her father which leads me to assume she was illegitimate and C the earliest reference I have of her is as a female servant in Haughton near Bunbury. I think in the 1891 census her mother Sarah is living with them. Its all very confusing, I will just have to save the petrol money and make my way to Chester records office. Regards Richard.
