Elizabeth Irwin, born in South Camp, Aldershot. I have spoken to someone in the Aldershot LDS Church, and he confirmed what I thought, that because it was still a camp, ie. tents and huts, the chaple or church would have been just a wooden structure. I haven't even found out what it was called, so wouldn't know where the records would be kept. I sent you photo's of the Garrison Church, which was built sometime after she was born. Actually, she hasn't been on my priority list, because I have had three films to view of my own lot. Two are parish records (Bishops Transcripts) and one was the 1841 census of Stepney, which was huge, and took about two months to get through! Oh, I do wish the enumorator had used a ball point pen, instead of a faint, scratchy old pencil, and used his best itallic hand, instead of his thumb and forefinger! Still, thats the joy of it. bye for now Sandra

oh sorry Sandra.......I have the flu & my brain is full of jelly. You have been so helpful & wonderful to me. I sent all the photos etc to my sisters.it's all fascinating. I just wish that family hadn't gone back to Ireland....well I assume they did.......cause I can't find them. I did find Elizabeth Irwin's death in a newspaper........unfortunately she was killed by a car in 1935 in Leeds.!! My granma was already in Aust by then.
