Sorry.............I didn't realise you had the birth certificate. I thought you had her father's name only from the marriage cert. Reg

I have her marriage certificate - that states her father's name and I traced her birth on Ancestry.

You haven't said how you 'know' the father's name....................... Equally, if you can't find her on a census, how do you know where she was born? Reg

Thanks Reg - have just updated my message - tried familysearch. Sorry yours was the wrong family - thanks for looking. Clare

1881.perhaps? Betsey Cole abt 1821 Leyton, Essex, England Mother Leyton Essex View Record Emma Day abt 1840 Bishop Stortford Mother (Head) Leyton Essex View Record Ernest Day abt 1880 Walthamstow, Essex, England Son Leyton Essex View Record Jesse Day abt 1875 Walthamstow, Essex, England Daughter Leyton Essex View Record William Wright abt 1830 Bruton, Somerset, England Leyton Essex You can look at 1881 yourself............it's completely free on www.familysearch.org You have more chance than anyone else of knowing if you locate the right female. Sorry, Clare, but how do you know her father's name.......if you haven't got her birth cert.? Did he sign the marriage register? Reg

Jeanette - have searched on Familysearch - no joy! C

Thanks Lesley - but Jessies father was called Edward! C

you can search for free on familysearch.org for the 1881 census Jeanette

I am trying to locate Jessie Day b1875 in Elham. The only info I have on her family is that her fathers name was Edward Day and her sister Charlotte Jane Day(possibly). I know that Jessie married Philip Peters in 1903 but I would like to know her mothers name. I have searched the 1881 census and looked on the IGI and familysearch - with no luck anymore ideas?
