hi prickles,

Found his christening 12 March 1892 son of Eliza May born 10 March 1891, so looks like she had Elizabeth in 1885 with John Denman then Horace with someone else and then went back to John. Bad girl.

Elizabeth was born 10yrs before John Denman & Eliza May married in 1896 she was down as Elizabeth May in 1891 so was she John's daughter if not where is his child with Eliza.
