Sister Elizabeth's birth:

HOWARD, ELIZABETH mmn CALDBECK
GRO Reference: 1850 J Quarter in WIRRAL UNION Volume 19 Page 403

An earlier Robert ??
Or could this be Robert 1852 - but born in Cheshire earlier than thought, and only baptised in Smethwick ???

HOWARD, ROBERT mmn CALDBACK
GRO Reference: 1849 M Quarter in GREAT BOUGHTON Volume 19 Page 52

I don't see that child's death, nor in censuses .
Can't see any Howard/Caldbeck (Caldback) marriage.

Elizabeth's death??

HOWARD, ELIZABETH 0
