- GRO ref: Welch, Beather Elizabeth q2 1876 Barnet RD 3a 182; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Goathem [both the original index and the GRO online index have the unusual spelling of Bertha]
Twelve years before Bertha was born her mother's younger sister, Emily, gave a daughter the name 'Bathea'; I wonder if that was the name Maria intended for Bertha?

(I have copy of PR entry)
In the 1861 census Maria and her baby son were living with other households in (?London Sq, Harrhead), Sevenoaks. In the same house was 29 yr old James Welch & family - relatives of George? Could be how Maria and George met.
