I haven't tried tracing her as she was an "aside", not a rellie.  I transcribed some of this page and just wanted to fill the gaps.

The area is Allestree, Derbyshire.  She was born Shottle, Derbyshire.

Thanks for the help.  Eite looks good.

Ricky1,

Thanks for the extra info.  Haven't heard of a Colston Russett in Notts but there is a Colston Bassett so I guess that's where the farm was.
