Question

I am trying to find Elizabeth Hardwick or Ellizabeth Biss(Bess) who was born about 1824 in Wookey, Somerset, England.

She married Charles Puddy in 1845 in Bristol,Gloucestershire

This is tangled ... you need to get the children's names from the censuses and find them on www.gro.gov.uk which gives mother's maiden names. Children born before parents were subsequently married may be registered under their mother's names too. Charles seems to have married at least three women.
