Q is for ........... Query


Queen, Quinn or other?


 This is my contribution to Alona from Gould Genealogy's                     


According to her marriage certificate my husband's great grandmother was Eliza Queen.

Below is a snip of the first section of marriage certificate.  To me it looks like Tween and it is so transcribed for one birth of one child in the Victorian BMD indexes.  The others are transcribed Queen.

Does it look like Queen?


Eliza was born in County Down, Ireland about 1832
She said her father was James Queen - a surveyor and her mother was Sarah Blakeley
















There was a surveyor named James Quinn in Belfast.

Not sure where to go from here.
