Elizabeth married Henry Skeggs around 1860. So far marriage not found but I have birth certificates for some of their children.

In 1861 census she said she was born Somerton, Devon and then 1891 Taunton, Devon. Of course both places are in Somerset so I auppose her county was not clear to her. I suppose Somerton and Taunton are reasonably close. 1881 looks like Tewin (??), Devon.

Henry was in Royal Artillery and in Feb 1861 they were in Alverstoke, Southampton and in 1861 they were in Wales. Then they were in Canada and Gibraltar. It is likely they married overseas. Perhaps Elizabeth was the daughter of an army also and moved around so much she knew her home town roughly.
