Biography

Birth and Baptism

Eliza Murray Kate Terry was baptised at Old Church, St Pancras, London on 17 February 1864 with her birth date given in the transcript on Familysearch as 21 April 1845^[1] Despite that, her birth was registered in the Falmouth district of Cornwall in the second quarter of 1842.^[2] So there is an error either in the Familysearch transcript of the parish register, or in the parish register itself.
