Hi,
this lady was my gg grandmother she married my gg grand father William Harris in March 1881.
Now with a name like Euphratis you would think it an easy task to find her birth, well I can't, could somebody please look for me 'cos I'm inpatient ,
I have sent for the marriage cert this morning should receive it shortly.
Lesley.

she could be down as Effie - the ennumerator may have had difficulty in spelling her real name or perhaps he though she was the more common Euphemia - there are lots of those on the census so where she lived would be a help

So many Mary Chisholms who may be her. Best to wait for that cert and then do the job properly.
