History of Eliza PITMAN

This is the information I have on Eliza. Any additions or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

Eliza was born to Charles Pitman and Martha Paul in March 1826 at South Petherton and baptised 29th August 1827.
She married Henry Griffin, son of John Griffin and Elizabeth, on 21st August 1848 at SS Peter and Paul, South Petherton, Somerset, England. Henry was a labourer. Bride?s father was Charles Pitman, a carpenter. Groom?s father was John Griffin, a labourer.
REG no: 172.

Shortly after their marriage Eliza and Henry migrated to Australia.
