My first post, So hello to everyone! and apologies if I have posted this in the wrong area.
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me with a missing link in my family tree:
I have a family member named Elizabeth Edwards born Minsterley Shropshire about 1840.
She appears to be living with her family in Minsterley in the 1861 Census but seems she has married (now "Guest") and also has a son named William.
I can find no record of the father of William?
Elizabeth next shows up in the 1871 Census living in London with her son employed as a bookbinder.
By 1881 Census Elizabeth has remarried and is now "Elizabeth Foot" this is the last record I can find of her?
Her husband and son appear in Census after this date but no Elizabeth,I have checked death records but as I'm new to the genealogy game I suspect I'm missing something very obvious
Many thanks for any help
Jon
