Title: Elizabeth Hoskins nee Pitman
Post by: mark foot on Sunday 03 October 21 23:03 BST (UK)

Aaron Hoskins married Elizabeth Pitman on the 24/10/1815 at Ansford in Somerset. She died at near by Castle Cary in 1881. She was the oldest inhabitant. This is all that I can find about her. Any help about her life would be most helpful including where and when she was born and her parents and siblings. Thanks  Mark

Why haven’t you looked for her on any of the censuses to establish where she was born?  If she only died in 1881 you need to look for her in 1851/61/71

She is easily found on all censuses

If you know she died in 1881 you must know her age from the freebmd entry which will give you her approx birthyear

Use the census info etc to look for a baptism on Family Search
