Notes for Elizabeth Lines
Her marriage certificate says she lived in Ashley and was the daughter of Robert Lines, a gentleman.
This 1871 census entry corresponds with her age at marriage but does not confirm that her abode was Ashley, though she may well have stayed there for a day or so before marriage:

Robert and Emma Lines had four children baptised all on the one day, 8 Apr 1857: Elizabeth, George, MaryAnne jane and Edward Robert. I can only conclude that they had not got round to getting them baptised earlier and maybe a new house or a new vicar has led to the mass baptism. There were some other mass family baptisms in the register at the same time.

The copy I got from the GRO was of a handwritten copy made by a register clerk. The original with the original signatures might be in Cambridge County Records Office at Shire Hall, Castle Hill, Cambridge. I am trying to see if this office can produce a copy of the original original and with Sarah’s signature on it.
