Thanks so much all for taking the time to help me out.
I reckon I've found all there is on the net so don't want to waste any more of your time on this.

I have to go now as my husband will be home soon expecting something to eat!


Many thanks again

Just wanted to say Thanks to the both of you for still looking even after I had gone

Ellen
I've had a look this morning for a child called Elizabeth with parents Edward and Kezia I searched 5 years either side of 1843 so no luck there

then I thought perhaps Bethune wasn't their child so just searched with the forename in England thinking that perhaps she may have been born to other parents perhaps in Kent where Edward and his brother Thomas were born,but no luck with that

I have the BMD's for all of the other siblings of my ancestor Emily Kezia Weeks,except for Bethune!
Why would the parents baptise the other children and not her? her birth is not registered under that forename either
Also not even a burial for her if she died, or marriage.
I'm at a loss and will have to shelve this enquiry I think

realised I'm spending too much time on this site - last night I dreamt someone had emailed me the birth certificate of Bethune and I was in the process of printing it off when I woke up - if only I had managed to read it through before waking!!!

Ann - a rather worried GR member!!!! :-S :-S

Thanks Ann
Sweet dreams of Bethune I hope

Helen I have tried with that name and just searched for any Weeks child born Bermondsey around 1843 but nothing remotely like her name came up

Her youngest sibling Charlotte born 1850 should have appeared on the 1861 age about 10,but I couldn't trace her either on that census with or without the parents

Thanks for the input though all the same

My geography of the area you want is almost non-existent but is this one a possibility

Births Mar 1843 (>99%)
Weeks Female Lewes &c 7 398

Hi LancashireAnn
Thanks for looking for me,but I think Lewes is on the Isle of White
So I don't think it's her as Bermondsey is in South East London
