My 2xgreatgandmother Elizabeth Wiseman married James Fenton at St Mary's, Birmingham on 1st August 1853 when she was described as being of Full Age and her father was given as John Wiseman a caster. In the 1861 census James and Elizabeth are living in Fox Street and in 1871 they were in Vauxhall Street. Elizabeth had died by 1881. The census returns indicate that Elizabeth was born in Birmingham about 1826/7. I have failed to find a birth/baptism for Elizabeth, anyone have any ideas?
