Well done, Maddie & Astra!!! I too was wondering about the change of name from Eliza to Elizabeth!!!

LondonBelle

LondonBelle Report 8 Jul 2013 17:44

According to the marriage cert Edward was a widower and Elizabeth nee Dowsett was a widow

Astra

Astra Report 8 Jul 2013 17:44

So if William Charles was born in October 1880 and the marriage was in February 1880 was Elizabeth pregnant when she married which is why his real name is Schackenberg
