      Well done Vikki I am sure you are hoping for an early arrival, just leave the brick wall details and the rest of us can work on them.

        Wow, thanks for picking me.

        Baby is still hanging on in there - but not sure for how long.

        OK - here is my first brick wall

        Jane Elizabeth Gregory - Born 28th June 1885, Baptised 31 Oct 1887 All Saints Battersea
        Father - George Gregory - Baker
        Mother - Elizabeth Sarah Cleaver

        She then vanishes until 26th Nov 1906 when she marries Arthur Josiah Saunders in Woolwich, Kent. (she is recorded as Jean Elizabeth on marriage cert!!!)

        So where is she in 1891 and 1901?

        answers on a postcard please

          Been having a look for you Vikki, no luck so far - sorry!

          Do you have her parents on any census as I can't find them either! -I'm not the greatest searcher on here, but will have a go!

            Found this one, which you may have already discounted, her age & pob is a little out though.

              Thanks Sue, the problem is I can't discount any possibles at this stage.
              Battersea and Clapham are right next door to each other.

              I'm sure on the 1911 census her DOB is 1882, i'll double check and post back

                  OK, on the 1911 census she is listed as born 1885. Its on her marriage certificate she gives her age as 24 in 1906 which would put her DOB as 1882.

                  This woman likes to make things difficult.

                  The only things I know about her family are that there was a brother born in 1888 who died the same year.

                  Her parents married 05 Apr 1885 in Battersea.

                  Details from their marriage cert

                  George Gregory - Full age - Bachelor - Baker - Father Isaac Gregory (Dec) - Carpenter
                  Elizabeth Points - Full age - Widow - Father Frederick Cleaver - Woodsawyer

                        Is it possible George was dead by 1891. There is an Elizabeth Gregory as a lodger in Carpenter St Wandsworth.
                        There is an Elizabeth Gregory b 1882 with her uncle Frances Gregory who is a baker in Herries st Chelsea

                          it is entirely possible he is dead by then. I don't know when he died.

                          Could you give me the details of the Elizabeth Gregory with her uncle Frances, maybe I can follow him - fingers crossed his father was Isaac
