Birth of Eliza C Roscoa (sic - on the typed original) in FreeBMD in January-March 1866 in Medway (2A 434).
I cannot find any entries under the names Roscoa or Roscoe but the following two entries are under the name Holland for which I cannot find a birth or marriage. I cannot find a marriage entry for her parents. Her brother William was born in 1859 in Wood End, Lancashire, and I guess from a different marriage.
