Hi,

I have spent a considerable amount of time recently, trying to find who was the wife of a relative.

In 1901 a 2xGr.Uncle John Prosser born Hay Brecon, was living at the Tan House, Newland together with his Mother and step father George and Mary Williams. John had a wife Lizzie Prosser age 25 born Lydney, and 2 daughters Elsie Winifred b.1898, Alberta Susie b. 1901, both born Newland

Thanks to this web page I have been able to ascertain that they had a further 2 daughters Daisy and Dora. Elsie died 1907 and Dora 1908 and were buried at Newland.

I have failed to find a marriage for John and Lizzie. I have purchased a birth certificate for Alberta Susie, and her Mother's maiden name was Whittington. I have failed to find a birth for Elizabeth or Lizzie Whittington with a birth about 1875.

1911 census, John Prosser is living at Hay with my Gr.Grandfather (His brother-in-Law) and says he is married. Lizzie appears to be missing. and the 2 remaining daughters, Alberta and Daisy were living with a Ferneyhough family at St.Briavels.

The question which I would love to find the answer to is who was Lizzie Whittington/Prosser? There are several families of Whittingtons in and around the Coleford area, but Lizzie says that she was born Lydney.

I would be interested if anyone has Lizzie Whittington in their family tree, or if they can help in any way.

Many thanks

Rosemary
