Hi all,
I have hit a brick wall with my 4th Great Grandmother, and wondered if any one could help.
I am looking for Elizabeth Dicken, who was born around 1790, at Egginton in Derbyshire. The problem is, the IGI shows two christenings, one in 1788, and the other in 1789. How can I find out which one is mine?
The only other Dicken name I have is a Sarah Dicken, who was a witness at Elizabeth's marriage in 1810. The marriage also says that Elizabeth was from the parish of St Werburgh, Derby, but I have tried to follow this up with no luck.
Elizabeth's children's names also reveal nothing. None are named after the parents of the Elizabeth's in the christenings, apart from Mary, but her mother-in-law was also called Mary.
The records are;
______________________________________________
Christening - 2nd August 1788, Egginton, Derbyshire
Elizabeth - daughter of Richard & Mary Dicken
______________________________________________
Christening - 25th October 1789, Egginton, Derbyshire
Elizabeth - daughter of James & Lydia Dicken
