Looking for Information on Isabella Pendergast
Isabella Pendergast, my Grandmother, was born in Manchester, UK around 1886 and emigrated to Australia in the early 1900's. Her lifetime partner was John Augustine Leslie. I would like to know more information about her family in the UK.
Hope someone can assist.

Spouse : Alice Burnett
This looks like Frank and Alice's marriage and if it is, Alice would have been 17 years old according to the 1881 census
If you want to go further back with each of Isabella's parents and in view of the age differences list in the census I would suggest you get the marriage cert using the data above.
Could be Alice's birth reg:

That's fantastic! Thanks so much.
Your information certainly gives me something to work with.
I'd like to go back a fit further, so will see what I can come up with.
You can order Frank and Alice's Marriage cert via the link below its around £9 plus P&P
