Thanks. I think that solves the Rosina Maud mystery - Eliza's Rosina died before her sisters Rosina was born. I have noticed the same name being used by parents when one has died - it seems strange but I understand it was fairly common.

I have the marriage of Eliza to George Morris already - it's definitely the right Eliza. I have a photocopy of a document dated 1924 - some sot of request for a copy of her birth cert for the employment exchange - where she gives her maiden name as Owen and her name as Read. It also asks for her mother's maiden name so this is definitely the same person. The address on the 1901 census is also in the right place. I still can't find her marriage to William Read.

Thanks!

what proof do you have that Eliza Read (1901) and Eliza Morris (1891) are the same person

Researching:
Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)

Eliza Owen born 1870 Bethnal Green. By 1924 she was Eliza Read living in Mile End. She married a Richard Morris in Bethnal Green in 1889 (I have the marriage cert) and she appears in the 1891 census with Richard and daughter Rosina Maud aged 1. In 1901 she appears in Bethnal Green with William Read and son John but not Rosina. There is another daughter May Elizabeth born later 1901. I simply cannot find her marriage to William Read.

It's all the more confusing because her sister Sarah Owen married Richard's brother Albert also in 1899 and appears in 1901 with a daughter Rosina Maud and in 1900 another sister Maria married a Robert Read - but I can't find any connection between the Read's.

Can anyone help me to solve this puzzle please?

Many thanks

Gai Evans
