Hi Shirley
just a thought but i think they might have seperated....mind boggling

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 6 Aug 2010 16:37

the marriage cert may give ages but may also only say of full age which is no help
I would say that is her with lawrence on the 1861.
Cant see a death for her though under either name
