Hi Janine
Maybe she was?
Elizabeth Louisa Brister
Louisa Elizabeth Brister
Eliza Brister (Pet name Louisa) to differentiate between Eliza and
another member in the family with the same first name?
Had that in some of my lines where only one member was known by
a firstname and two other close relatives with the same first
name went by their middle or nickname.
Is there a confirmed baptism for Eliza Brister? The marriage,
children's birth and her death certificate may be very
enlightening on this issue.
Maybe she did not know her full name/place of birth based on
the changing places of birth in the census entries.
She may have been illegitamate or orphaned?
regards
Michael
