[heywood]

1891 RG12; Piece: 1237; Folio 141; Page 17

Edward R Southwell 19 yrs b Birmingham is a lodger in Huntingdon
He is a Private in the King's Royal Rifles

A submitted family tree on Anc has Elizabeth Corrington as the child Elizabeth (rather than Lizzie) in the 1861 census. Lizzie is named as a sibling 

[CaroleW]

I think the only way forward on this is to buy a copy of the 1871 birth cert to get his mothers maiden name

I am sending you a pm with some additional  info from another census

[heywood]

Lastly,

(and I wish I had done this first  ) there are extracted records on Family Search for Elizabeth rebecca- parents WIlliam and ELizabeth so it is over to you David - what do you think?

hi

On freebmd there is a marriage for 

Edwin  R Southwell to an Elizabeth bolton
Sept Q 1918 in Aston. 

Could that be a second marriage for Elizabeth  ???as there is a marriage for 

Elizabeth Corrington with a Robert Bolton on the same page
Sept Q 1881 in birmingham

That's interesting Julie -worth looking for

[CaroleW]

If Robert Bolton was still alive - it would explain why there is no marriage.  It's likely Robert died around 1917/18 hence the late marriage

I can't find them at the moment
