I find it worrying to see that you seem happy to 'think' the records 'may' be the right people, when definite info could be found by investing £9.25 in the birth cert.

I wouldn't recommend your approach to anyone intending to compile an accurate family tree

Upsdell Elizabeth Sarah - Camberwell 1d 493

Look at the last posting I put up for Sarah Ann Upsdell married to Dennis Ranson. There you will see I have put her marriage with her fathers name. then the 1871 census has Elizabeth Ranson who is really Elizabeth Sarah Upsdell. On the 1861 census she is 4 and on the 1871 census she is 14.

NO Janice you want her birth cert. Which somone put up on the begining of the thread.

As Flick said James could just be name given to save face.

thanks for all your replies, I think perhaps James Upsdell married to Sophia may be the right people. The area is correct and his occupation ties in with the family, the problem now is trying to establish their connection to Elizabeth Sarah, getting a married certificate may help, thanks again to you all

I think you need to buy Elizabeth's birth cert to find out who her mother was as I think she may be the daughter of Sarah Ann Upsdell base born.

Definately read Upsdell but is also William and not James But the witnesses to her marriage were J Upsdell and S Upsdell so could have been brother and sister.

The father's name on the marriage record could have been invented

Her birth cert is the way to get accurate info
