Thanks very much Georgina. Trouble is as I can't find Elizabeth on a census I don't even know if she was born in Shropshire, p.s. regarding my Albery Ray query yesterday I managed to find his marriage ref so ordered the cert yesterday, can pick it up today :)

Linda good news about Albert Ray. I thought maybe Elizabeth Tranter married before the 1871 census but I cant see either couple with a child Mary on the census. Marriages Mar 1870 (>99%) CHARLES Thomas Madeley 6a 902 Hill Mary Madeley 6a 902 Osborne James Madeley 6a 902 TRANTER Elizabeth Powell Madeley 6a 902 Georgina.

thanks again for all your help Linda x

So Albert Ray married? That'll be interesting. I bet you're looking forward to picking up that one! Ozi.

I knew he had got married, but only have my mom to ask about things and she gets a bit mixed up now and then.:)
