Eliza Starson/Stanson/Star & John Clark

[Clive Blackaby]

I have the birth certificate of my Great Great Aunt, Eliza Clark, b 1 Jun 1841 in Hoddesdon, daughter of John Clark and Eliza nee Star (My gt gt grandparents)
Their first child Frederick was born in 1829 in Great Amwell, which could well be the same place, as the parish boundaries of Hoddesdon and Gt Amwell moved around that time.

The only likely marriage I can find is

John Clark m Eliza(beth) "Stanson or Starson" at Waltham Abbey Parish Church, 28th February 1828 - so APART from the understandable anomaly in her name, this looks good.

I wonder if there is s.k.s out there who has ready access to the Waltham Abbey registers who could check-see whether that's an "R" or an "N" please?

Thank you so very much, Sue, you've come up trumps - I could say "You're a Starr!"
Is there any indication of a blot or squiggle that might explain the incorrect transcription on the LDS database?? Or maybe it's on a different copy of the register or on their microfilm
