Jane Prescott witness at the wedding has nothing to do with the registration number for Elizabeth Ellen Banks birth. Its just a coincidence

There are 12 Jane Prescott living in Prescot on the 1911 census.

Your witness might/could be a married sister of James Murray. Who was the other witness on the marriage cert.

Have you looked for a Mary Eliza born 1857 Woolton on the 1881 census before she married John Banks

Hi
Just looked at the marriage cert again and have a witness in a Jane Prescott, so the birth cert numbers include a Prescott for her possible maiden name...what do you think...

No problem Colin. It looks like the first 2 census posts as the area and the name you had in mind for the mother match up

It's just a case of choosing the right cert of out of the 2 that come up. Things are never straight forward are they!!!

No I think its the first 2 I posted as the age is wrong on this one and the district. If he worked in the Brewery as a labourer it would mean he was pushing carts of beer around..I think
