I am trying to find the correct maiden name of one of my ancestors.
When she marries on 5/11/1860 to Daniel Perkes Hallett her name is given as Eliza Copyes (this surname must be incorrect as this is the only time it occurs on Free BMD) her Father's name is John and his occupation is Bus Conductor. Eliza and Daniel's address is St.Pancras only.
Eliza marries again in 1898 to James Harris this under the name Eliza Ann Hallett her father's name is Joseph Copyes he is now deceased but his occupation is still stated as Bus Conductor.
I have the birth certificate of her son Walter Edgar Hallett born 10/10/1870 and it states her name as Eliza Ann Hallett formerly Copyes.
On the 1861 census when the surname is spelt Hallit her birthplace is St.Pancras age 20, the 71 census it is Kennington age 29, the 81 census it is Middlesex (but so is half the page) age 39, the 91 cencus when Eliza is a widow and her name is spelt Elvia Haller it is Lambeth age 49, the 1901 census when Eliza is married to James it is Kennington age 59, I havn't got to the 1911 census yet.
I have been unable to find Eliza on the 1851 census with her family which would have given me her correct surname.
Would anyone have any ideas how I can find Eliza's correct surname.
