Hi Mo.
Unfortunately I've already ruled her out. She was my last hope.
These were the three youngest children of Mark Grundy and Margaret Bleasdale. Unless it was bigamous.....and she faked her death.....or there were two of them called Elizabeth....

Bigamy I can believe - but successfully getting a fake death certificate as well?! Nah. But it's incredibly believable that's the right family. Atkinson st was parallel to crown st.
There's a lot more reason to believe that's the right family - but there's no escaping the double marriage.
