PLEASE IGNORE THIS & LOOK AT POST NO 2 PLEASE (SORRY CHAPS)
I've got an Elizabeth Merrin who married a Samuel Elliott. They're together on the 1891 & 1901 census in Nottingham (there are at least 2 Samuel/Elizabeth Elliott combinations....this is the Samuel Elliott who had been born in Chard, Somerset)
I can't find any Merrins in Somerset at all during these periods, so I reckon he must have met & married her after he arrived in Nottm (he arrived sometime between the 1881 & the 1891 census)
According to the census records, she was born 1868/69, so the most likely candidate I have for her is an Elizabeth Merrin born Shardlow, Notts, September quarter 1869.
The other Elizabeth Merrins I can find born in Notts are:
Eliza Ann Merrin born Nottm Sep 1873
Elizabeth Merrin born Doncaster Jun 1878
Elizabeth Merrin born Nottm Sep 1881
Lizzie Merrin born Nottm 1887 (so the last 3 seem to be definitely out of it, if the records are reliable)
The problem is that I can't find a matching marriage. I've got an Elizabeth Merrin & Eliza Ann Merrin marrying in Nottingham & I've got a Samuel Elliott marrying in Nottm in March 1880..& another Samuel Elliott marrying in Loughborough in Dec 1879, but my Samuel was still living in Somerset on the 1881 census & neither date fits in with an Elizabeth Merrin marriage.
Could someone help me try & identify my Elizabeth Merrin, please ?
