I am struggling finding a birth date or place for a family member. I have been on lots of websites but am not getting very far and wondering if anyone may be able to help.

Elizabeth Ann Smith Married William Attfield 10 6 1874, Aldershot, Hampshire. Elizabeth died 12 11 1914 age 58 in Aldershot, Hampshire
Her dad was William Attfield.

Any help anyone is able to give is greatly appreciated.

Yes I think so.

I have just ordered the birth certificate for Elizabeth and all the places you named sound very familiar so fingers crossed I can move on (backwards) with my search now.

Thank you once again
