    Thank you soo much:D

    I have the birth cert of James John Joseph William Hummerston on which it names Elizabeth Herrick as his mother.
    I know when James was born they lived at 11 Enochs Ct. Whitechapel.
    I have found Elizabeth and Henry's marriage Oct qtr 1850 Pancras 1 307
    and entries in 1861 and 1871 census with her married name but can find no trace of any birth or census entry before this.
    According to the census she was born c 1829 St Pancras but i m unble to confirm this


    Thanks for giving me a shot

    Marie;)

      If you were to get the marriage cert you should then have her father's name which might help (I can't see her in 1841 either!)

            In 1851 there's a Joseph and Mary Herrick at 22 West St St Pancras. It looks like it says Navigator for him, but probably my eyes are deceiving me! lol

              Herrick Joseph S Pancras 1b 51

              You would need to check the marriage cert to ensure Joseph is her father and not just some other older relative!

                  That's where the word navvy comes from. He could well have been a canal, road or railway builder.

                    Oooh, that makes sense Mary! Thank you.

                    There are three baptisms of children for Joseph and Mary o the IGI, but not one for Elizabeth. This might be their marriage on the IGI:

                    JOSEPH HERICK

                    Marriages:
                    Spouse: MARY COBB
                    Marriage: 05 MAR 1814 Old Church, Saint Pancras, London, England

                          my brick wall

                          Just wanted to say a big THANKS to Merry for helping with my wall.;)
                          Got marriage cert this morning and as usual you were spot on, Joseph was her father so you have helped me get back another generation.

                          Keep up the great work:D

                          Thanks again
