I have a Elizabeth Smith born in abt 1836 in Marylebone Middlesex. She married a Joseph Pearce in Greenwich in 1856. I have received her marriage cert and her father was a Robert Smith who was a labourer. I can not find her on the above census'. Any help would be great, Thanks Vicky X

As you say, nothing for an Elizabeth with father Robert. Perhaps he died? This fits: 1851 Name: Elizabeth Smith Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Gender: Female Where born: St Marylebone, Middlesex, England Civil parish: Paddington Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Occupation: servant Condition as to marriage: Disability: View image Registration district: Kensington Sub-registration district: St Mary Paddington ED, institution, or vessel: 3 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 18 Household Members: Name Age Emma Palmer 27 George Palmer 36 George Palmer 2 James William Giles Palmer 7 Mo Elizabeth Smith 14 Piece: 1466; Folio: 140; Page: 5;

I thought if the father died it would say on the marriage cert? You could be right though.............. Thanks for looking Vicky

It would depend how they asked her really. 1841 - no Elizabeth's with a father Robert as yet. I came across this entry. On the original image it looks like she's living with a family called White. Name: Elizabeth Smith Age: 4 Estimated birth year: abt 1837 Gender: Female Where born: Middlesex, England Civil parish: St John Hackney Hundred: Ossulstone (Tower Division) County/Island: Middlesex Country: England Street address: Occupation: View image Registration district: Hackney Sub-registration district: South Hackney Neighbors: View others on page
