	Patricia. Sorry we've confused you. It simply seems that Jane Elizabeth was really the other way round...Elizabeth Jane. When born her surname was Lines. Her mother then remarried and brought all the children up in the new name of Fish. --------------------------------- Her birth cert may tell you her real father Births Mar 1878 Lines Elizabeth Jane - Woodbridge 4a 708

	You can order the marriage certificate online from here:- http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ Use the reference numbers already given to you. The certificate will cost £9. 25p. When the form asks if the full GRO reference is known make sure you say "yes" otherwise they will ask for extra details. Kath. x
