Leonie Glad to have been of help.
It's always worth thinking outside of the box, or maybe my mind is warped that way

[LoneyBones]

Outside the box is where the answers are.
'Cos I've been looking inside the box and never found anything.

I think the next question is;
What is the likeliest workhouse Mary DAVIS would have been living in when Elizabeth DAVIS was born in Feb 1832? Given that Elizabeth was baptised at St Martins in the Fields, Westminster.
And are there likely to be any records available anywhere for that workhouse?

I know, that's two questions.

Leonie You are talking about the period brfore 1834 when the 'new' Poor Law came into being.

If it comes up as the home page click on Early Workhouses then Parish Workhouses and scroll down to London.

Sorry Miss, I wasn't paying attention.  Alpinecottage, re BMD Registers, not thinking clearly.
OK, BMD Registers; birth registration for Elizabeth DAVIS, would have to be before the baptism recorded for 23 Feb, 1832. St Martin in the Fields parish, Westminster.
Then a marriage between Mary DAVIS/DAVIES and David DAVIES. dated; 10 Feb, 1833. Also St. M.in the Fs. Westminster.
Then a Mary DAVIES, before baptism dated 10 Nov, 1834. St M i t Fs. westminster.

Please Miss.

Would it be heloful for Alpine Cottage to check all births/baptisms on the non-conformist registers for Elizabeth Davis/Davies born in London between 1829 and 1832? It would be a shame not to check in case there's another candidate for 'your' Elizabeth that fits the known data better than the CofE one you've got?

Just a thought....

No births in BMDregisters for Elizabeth Davies before 1832 - only birth is 1835 in Register of Births at Dr Williams Library in Cripplegate London.

There are a few other Eliz Davis/ies  bapt 1829-1832 in London - do you want details?
