Her birth was q2 1877 so it couldn't have been died in childbirth - the plot thickens!! UPDATE - must have been looking at the same time :-)

Thanks Reggie I did find one marriage for a joseph Monk but it wasn't to an Eliza so certificate was never sent :-( This is my last hope! Penny

Possible Marriage Registration found on FreeBMD Name: Monk, Joseph Year: 1865 Quarter: Jan-Mar District: H Hempstead Volume: 3a Page: 383 Bride's Name: Eliza RICKETT Joy

1861 Census Eliza Ricket abt 1839 Chiperfield Hertfordshire Sister-in-Law Bovingdon Hertfordshire Living with Thomas Dancer abt 1822 Wendover Buckinghamshire his wife is Hannah which suggests Eliza and Hannah are sisters. Joy

Oh joy you just want me to buy even more certificates!! Their eldest was born in 1868 so could be. That wasn't on freebmd when I looked - there was only one in 1869!! Penny

1851 Census Eliza Ricketts abt 1838 Bovingdon, Hertfordshire Servant Hadley or Monken Hadley Berkshire Joy

When did you look last? It was updated Thursday 9th February 2006. Joy

Just looked on Ancestry but previously ordered the 1869 last year. On IGI there is an Eliza Ricketts in Bovingdon & Elizabeth Ricketts in Chipperfield!!!
