Birth lookup Victoria
« on: Tuesday 27 August 24 06:22 BST (UK) »
I’m trying to find the birth date of my GG Grandmother Elizabeth Sarah Allen, in Carlton/Melbourne, Victoria in 1853. She was 38 in 1891 on her death certificate.
Parents are William Edward Allen & Eliza Cantlon.

Are you seeing all of this information on the death certificate?

She died as Elizabeth Sarah Allen?....in Victoria?

This is possibly the marriage record for Charles and Eliza, 1871 -

ALLEN Elizabeth Sarah  marr.    SIMPSON, Charles James   4701/1871

The marriage certificate has information that Elizabeth gives about herself.
