It would be useful to know her exact date of birth, and second name.

There's another (male) Carol V Elliott marriage in 1980 London- wonder if it's a second marriage for him?

patchem Report 8 Dec 2014 16:40

Looks like Carol to me, too, which is what I put originally - (though Elliott not Elliot, my apologies)
Not sure whether V or Y when you compare with other letters on the page.

Worth getting the marriage certificate to check? Might be useful to find out about him?

Shirley- just looking at the GRO listing on ancestry- looks like CAROL V to me??

It's the actual page of GRO records that have been transcribed to the listings on Ancestry etc

When Carl ,s name was transcribed it was wrongly done and the error was missed .

She would be 78, but I agree, not old.

Jacqueline Report 17 Nov 2014 14:07

If you want to know about the parents, get a copy of one of the birth certs, so you will have their first names

They didn't - apparently - marry in England or Wales, so that line is of research is not an option which can be suggested

Elizabeth isn't old - only 72, if living.

Jacqueline Report 17 Nov 2014 13:58

WHEN was she last in contact with your family?

Have you tried using freebmd to find out if the marriage to Elliot produced any children?

Are you saying that you know for certain that all of Elizabeth's siblings are deceased?

And that all of the children they may have produced are also deceased?

Did she attend any of their funerals?

Sue

Sue Report 17 Nov 2014 13:11

You have put that Elizabeth's maiden name is Elliott, you mean married name.

Do you know the name of the man that she married - was it really Carol?

Similarly, do you know the names of any of your cousins?

Not seeing a birth for her husband or any children for them? Did they move to Scotland or go abroad?
