Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 318 Send Message	i find that my gr gr gr grandfathers sister Elizabeth 1838 (Shropshire) on 1871 census is back home with her parents John and Mary Rowley along with her son John.e. age 3 but Elizabeth is now under name Biddle same as her son. Cant find to whom she wed but later was a widow. on 1891 census believe her son John.e. is a police constable and age 22 anything after that cant find anything on him. Tried to find what happened to Elizabeth but have found a death in 1901 but died in Kings Norton. Some of the family did move from Shropshire to Kings Norton area in 1880s approx. If someone could kindly do some findings for me on Elizabeth and John.e. to see what happened to them after 1871 for Elizabeth and 1891 for JOhn. this would be greatly appreciated
