Hi David, My problem is very mundane but nagging. My ggreatmother Elizabeth Bott b 1869 Tanworth, goes missing after 1891. It's complicated but she gave birth illegitmately to my grandmother Nellie Baker Bott in Dec 27,1899, baby farmered her off to nearby neighbors in 1890 if not immediately after birth ( 1891 census boarding with Charles and Frances Morrell), Elizabeth is listed in the 1891 census living with her mother/brothers. I think her older brother John Bott is Nelly's father although the father not listed on birth certificate, infact she went to Birmingham St. Martins to give birth. . My grandmother never knew her mother although she was apparently close by. I can find no marriage or death certificate for Eliuzabeth, I have no idea if she ever married. On Jersey Isle there is an Elizabeth Bott, servant of England who has her approx. dates but how would she ever get there. I have been working on ggm Elizabeth Bott for about a year and am stuck at 1891. I guess I was hoping that perhaps something would show up between 91`and 01 in the Parish registers that would give some idea of what happened to her. I always wondered what the marriage prospects would have been for Elizabeth at age 22 and already given up one child. Any help you can provide is truely appreciated.
