Daniel, I'm a little confused with the dates.

Eliza is born in 1881.

You have her marrying in 1803.

You have her on a census.


Which date do you mean & which census?

Ozi.

What date is the birth certificate and whose is it? Can you just confirm the dates as you say she was born 1881 but married someone born 1803?

Could it be Timpilly or Tanpilly?

Mumsy.

I sent off for a birth certificate to find a mothers maiden name, the problem is the surname is very strange, here is a zoom in on it

Here's a link

The person who has wrote this curles the "l"s at the end of other words so I think the surname is Tempill nor Tempilly

The problem is there is no Tempill where she is from (Wentworth, Yorkshire) and nearly no Tempill in any census at all, so I think it is miss-spelt. Also if you look closely something (maybe initials) is written underneath. Does this mean anything?

What surname do you think it might be?

Her first name is Eliza, can anybody find any info at all of an Eliza Tempill or Eliza Tempil? (born in c1881), married a James Benton c1803. (I have her on census married as Eliza Benton)

Any help would be greatly appretiated.
