I couldn't find a Massam/Widdowson marriage, but here is Eliza's birth registration. If you order this certificate, it will tell you the names of her parents, and her mother's maiden name, which would help solve the question of who she is!

Births Dec 1886 (>99%)

Massam Eliza Hull 9d 267

Hi Athena:

Yes, that would be the one .... no wonder it took some finding with the wrong spelling of Widdowson .... so well done for finding that.

You can take siesta now, your work here is done ;;;}}}

Thanks again, Margaret.

Hi:

I have found Eliza (1849-1888) married Edward Massom- so if Eliza died in 1888, that is why little Eliza (b. 1887) would be with her Granny .... sorted.

Thanks so much.

Margaret.
