Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar

Going by the 1861 census I think this might be the marriage:-

Name: Henry Brown
Year of Registration: 1860
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Ecclesall Bierlow
County: Derbyshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 245

There arew two Elizabeths on the same page - Elizabeth Ashforth and Elizabeth Webster, so you would need the child's birth certificate to be sure of the mother's maiden name.

Found another marriage that could be it:-

Name: Henry Brown
Year of Registration: 1859
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Sheffield
County: South Yorkshire, Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 475

Again two Elizabeth's on the page - Elizabeth Robson and Elizabeth Whitehead.

heres the marriage, theres two Elizabeths on it so you need to get the cert to confirm which one it is. one of the childrens birth certs too will confim Elizabeths maiden name as well.

The marriage cert will give both dads names so take you back another generation

Marriages Dec 1859 (>99%)

Ashforth Henry Sheffield 9c 475

Robson Elizabeth Sheffield 9c 475
Whitehead Elizabeth Sheffield 9c 475
