Elizabeth Matthews b. 1860 Enville, Staffs. If she is married. I cannot find a marriage for Elizabeth Preece to a Matthews and wonder if it might be a 2nd marr. She is only one that comes up born Enville on Index. Thanks

Sylvia - does this query relate to the Elizabeth Preece b1860 shown on census on one of your earlier threads?
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1308067

Is she supposed to have married a Matthews?

Hi, Thanks for info. but does not seem to be the one I am looking for. Sometimes putting in 1st name and age and birthplace I can find a marriage but unfortunately not in this case. I could not find Elizabeth Preece on 1891 Census and could not find her in several marriages after 1881 Census when living with her sister Jane.
Elizabeth Matthews was the only Elizabeth with same age born Enville that came up.
Sorry if I have put you to so much trouble. Elizabeth is the only one I cannot find.I worked from Findmypast Census Index.
Thanks for your time and interest.
