Just incase someone fancies a little hunt round for Ellen's missing Dad.
Ellen Giles, Born c 1855 Morice town, Devon, registered 1855 Stoke Damerell.in 1861 census is living with mother Elizabeth Giles Born c 1823 Morice Town, 2 brothers and 3 other older children with the surname Werry who also claim to be the children od Elizabeth Giles.
From this I deduce that Elizabeth's previous name was Werry, probably a previous marriage. But who is her husband and the father of Ellen? I know the simplest thing (and correct thing) is get the birth cert, but this is a tree I'm doing for a friend as a surprise, and trying to keep cost to a minimum. There is a marriage between Elizabeth Werry and William Giles Sept 1853 Stoke Damerel, which is very much the right time and right place!
Can anyone see any likely census records for William (Probable Dad) to give me an age and location of birth
