Research Note

I adopted this profile. Magor, Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom was recorded as the place of birth.
I have been unable to find a verified date of birth, place of birth and parents names for Elizabeth Adams.
Elizabeth Adams and Henry Furze married in 1854 at Bristol, so one would assume that Elizabeth was living around this area in 1851.
A search of the census records, records a few females named Elizabeth Adams born about 1832, but none with a father named George Adams. Most of these Elizabeth Adams are working as servants.
A full copy of the marriage certificate, might record the full names of her parents, and her place of birth. Or a full copy of the birth record of one of her children might record her place of birth.
