What happened to Alicia Tatlow (nee Elliott)

[Margruss]

The facts I have about Alicia are:

Born abt 1824 in Lancashire (parents Arthur Elliott and Elizabeth Matthews)
Married William Tatlow 12 Nov 1843 at Christ Church Chapel, Every Street, Manchester
Had daughter Emily 25 Dec 1845 in Sheffield
Had son Joseph 18 April 1851 at Brighton Terrace, Pitsmoor, Sheffield (my great grandfather)

There the story of Alicia ends. She is not mentioned in the 1851 census taken 3 weeks before Joseph was born, but William and Emily are mentioned in that census as staying with the Truswells at Newark in Nottinghamshire.

William and a Matilda Louisa Henn then start having 6 children beginning with Frances Marian in 1858 in Birmingham. William and Matilda marry in Kings Norton, Worcestershire  in 1866.

So what happened to Alicia? I cannot find any mention of her after Joseph’s birth and I cannot find a death record for her. In his autobiography “Fifty Years of Railway Life in England, Scotland and Ireland” Joseph does not mention his mother Alicia! Did she perhaps die giving birth to Joseph?

Any thoughts or answers would be very welcome.

William and Matilda marry in Kings Norton, Worcestershire  in 1866.

Does the marriage cert show him as a widower

I don't have a copy of the marriage certificate - only a transcription which doesn't give his status.

it may be worth looking at this death - the age is out, but the year is interesting, given when William remarries

Q1 1866 Burton upon Trent
Age    48

Thanks but checked that out to no avail. There was even a possible closer match with an Alicia Tatlow dying in London in 1852 but not the right one.

Hello
I have noticed a Maria Tatlow b1823 visitor at John Longbotham and wife in sheffield in 1851.
She is born middleton and is a clerks wife.
She isnt on later census and have been unable to find a marriage for a tatlow and a maria in the area.
