	Thanks everyone that is a great help especially the birth name of George Henry Harl Chessun and the marriage entry that looks like the Chesson has been missed off ,Eliza could not read or write so would not have known anything wrong on certificates ,she also married again in 1893 in Croydon Surrey Brian.

	Julie Have rectified my mistake regarding who married George Butler....a senior moment :-)) Regards Vera
Member Since: September 2004 Posts: 42 Send Message	Brian	Report	22 Nov 2009 15:42
	Thank you everyone ,that is correct that Poebe Gallard is Elizas,s younger sister I have been told that at the time of the 1891 census Eliza may have been living in a caravan on Mitcham Common near the Horse and Groom P/H and may not show on the census,she seems to be a lady with a very colourfull past.

	No worries Vera, i have them often lol Brian, she should still show as i have some of my family on an Encampment in Battersea on the 1871. Do you know where Mary Ann was in 1891
Member Since: December 2002 Posts: 10,007 Send Message	Vera	Report	22 Nov 2009 16:27
	For reference I wonder if this is Patrick in 1891 Patrick Leary Age: 24 Estimated birth year: abt 1867 Relation: Son Mother's Name: Ellen Gender: Male Where born: Mitcham, Surrey, England Civil parish: Mitcham Ecclesiastical parish: St Peter and St Paul Town: Mitcham County/Island: Surrey Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Croydon Sub-registration district: Mitcham ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Ellen Leary 50 Patrick Leary 24 Julia Leary 14 Lizzie Leary 9 Ellen Lee 2 Ellen Godfrey 1 Regards Vera

	A reply to Julie and Vera I have not been able to find a death or marriage for Mary Ann perhaps she stayed with her father. I think that is the Patrick Leary who Eliza married in 1893,does it give his address in Mitcham in 1891 census?. Regards Brian.
