There are no siblings called Lillian from bride or groom - but I have not yet checked out the other witness.. The girl signed her name with two els - so the above census report is not likely to show the correct family. Thanks for your help. It is possible that Lillian Kelly arrived from Ireland so may not appear on our census reports.

Just a total stab in the dark.

Have you checked out sibling names for the married couple, in case there is a Lillian?

Yes I realise that. Probably wrong of me to assume that she was the same age as the bride - ie born c1888. The bride was born in Whitechapel and lived in Stepney - so maybe her pal did also. This is an impossible task but I hoped to get some ideas. As she was only 19 at the time of the wedding I thought it a chance she was still single.

without knowing if Kelly was her maiden name of married name it's difficult to look for someone with no BOD either.

I am trying to trace descendants of the above person who was a witness at the marriage of my uncle in MIle End Old Town in December 1907. Assuming she was the best friend of the bride and of similar age - that puts her at being born in 1888. The other witness was a Michael John KIrby. Any advice on where to start please. She signed her name LIllian - with two els.
Thanks for reading this. x
