I believe that my search is correct so far, my ancestor, Mary Ellen Taylor, was born in Kendal 1867, her mother Nancy Taylor, born Preston Patrick 1832, presumably she was unmarried, as the birth certificate shews no father for Mary. Nancy's mother I believe was Betsy Taylor, born 1817 Westmorland, again I think unmarried.
I found Nancy as a three year old in the 1841 census, living with a family called Criffield in Preston Partrick. The head Jacob Criffield married to Betsy/Betty Criffield, with a son John born 1841.
I think this implies that Betsy married after Nancy's birth, but would appreciate local research if anyone would be so kind as to oblige.
Thank you
Jackie

I'm impressed. How kind of you all.
So many errors in the census transcriptions.
Thank you so much for this.
Now I just have to trace Betsy's parents and Jacob's.
Any help much appreciated.

Thank you CaroleW
Just wondered if I'm on the right track. I think Betsy's parents could be Michael Taylor and Elizabeth Whitehead. Married 1802 Orton ? just maybe ?

I also saw that IGI entry but because Betty died before the 1851 census - her full birthplace is not known. We only know she was born in Westmorland
If the marriage cert shows her father as Michael - Bingo!!

Have found Christening record for Betty Taylor, 5th May 1816, Krkby Lonsdale, (I take it births are always 'about') father Michael Taylor, mother Betty !

Hi
That's the record I was referring to above sorry - not the 1802 marriage you found.
It was very inconsiderate of her to die before the 1851 census so we don't know whether she was b Kirby Lonsdale or Preston Patrick!!
Are you going to get a copy of the 1840 marriage cert to find her fathers name?
