Hi David
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
I am not sure if my Elizabeth is yours!
Her children were:
Elizabeth Sarah (my ggrandmother) b 1849
Catherine Alice
1851
William Cranmer
1855
and Thomas Watts
1857.
On the 1881 Census there was an Alfred
b 1848
but I have been unable to find
his birth.
The mother Elizabeth died 1858/9 in Shoreditch London.

Elizabeth from memory married one of the Whiter boys,but I need to recover
the data from some spoilt files.
If you have the names of the children I will see if I can backtrack the family links
Hi David, My gggrandmother was Elizabeth Watts.
She married ? a William Wilshire.
They had several children in Shoreditch late
1840's-1850's.
Elizabeth died 1859 in Shoreditch.
This is all the info that I
have on her.
Can you help me at all?
I am having so much trouble going back on
both sides of this family.
