Thanks again for finding those, Marj. I finally got round to sending for the associated death certificates, which came yesterday.
The Elizabeth burial is pretty definitely her, as the informant on the death certificate is Mary Stephenson, present at the death. Elizabeth died 1st March 1851 in Barrowford.
But that's made me rethink the number of children Mary Stephenson nee Hill had, as she has two daughters on the 1851 census: Martha and Ellen. I'd assumed that Ellen was just the enumerator's mis-writing, or an alternative name, and that the age discrepancy was just one of those things. But as Elizabeth died 1st March 1851, she cannot be the Ellen on the 1851 census.
Ellen born separately c. 1827 in Gisburn would also fill in the gap between Mary Hill's marriage to John Stephenson in 1825 and the birth of their son, John Ste[ph/v]enson in 1829. But I'm struggling to see a record of her beyond that mention on the 1851 census.
Can anyone see anything I'm missing?
