It's not Shurvill. As Shervell, she was still unmarried in 1861. Harper wasn't. Elizabeth Harper was, but she's separate in 1851 - Elizas younger sister. Eliza Collier's slightly younger, so I think it's probably Harper. There was also Eliza BURRIDGE at Spurgrove, Hambleden, age 11 in 1851. One of the Medmenham Elizas is Eliza SPINDLER in 1861, wife of Marlow Common, Great Marlow. Oh, I love this BGS 1861 census! I've already replied to Jeanette with David & family, but it went off-list, although I meant it to be for the list. Doh!
