Lizzie McCullough Stevenson

[Elwyn Soutter]

David,

The general tradition is to marry in the wife's church, so you wouldn't necessarily expect all Lizzie's siblings to marry in the same church.

Thanks Elwyn

I've looked at my information and Lizzie's future sister in law was a visitor, she was English, on the day of the census so I am assuming that she went to the same church that lizzie or the family did?

It is a stretch but it is all I have at the moment

Cheers

David

David,

Yes, I agree, if the fiancee was English, I'd expect her to attend Lizzie's family church. (Assuming she was of a Protestant faith.)

Hi Elwyn

Thanks for the advice, her faith was Church of England.

Cheers

David

Hi Lil

Thanks for the info, managed to get another daughter to add to my tree from it. Only one left to find.
