Hi Ken, Although I have a transcription at home of the parish registers for Upper Arley they only go up to 1800. I will be going to the LDS Family History Center tomorrow and can check for your Eliza both in the film of the transcription and the film of the parish registers. I have them on long term as my KEIGHTLEY ancestors came from Upper Arley. The Pinfield name is totally unfamiliar to me so I don't think your Eliza came from Upper Arley in Staffordshire/Worcestershire. However, I will take a look and let you know. I assume you are looking at the actual censuses or copies thereof and not a transcription. I've found that many typed copies in various web sites are not accurate. A quick check of the IGI online does not show your Pinfields at Upper Arley. The one on Eliza looks like a guess perhaps taken from one of the censuses that you have. Here in the States some lecturers advise us to at least put in a place of last known residence and an estimated year of birth as this helps in tracking down our ancestors. I personally disagree as it can totally mislead people as you can see from your Eliza in the IGI. There being so many reasons for not putting in an estimated time and place are numerous so I won't bore everyone to tears with a list. I'd rather put my ideas and assumptions in my notes. I'll get back with you tomorrow.
