Title: 18411851 census look up please Elizabeth Fisher
Post by: Village People on Friday 21 November 08 11:36 GMT (UK)
1841 1851 census.

I would be most grateful if someone with access to the census,  would  do a look-up for me. 

It's for:
Elizabeth/Betty  Fisher.
born abt 1788

I think she is  living in Crosthwaite & Lyth 1841- 1851
I am particularly interested in her birthplace.

Thank you

There is this on 1841 but not sure

Hornby Gate Cumwhitton

Thomas Fisher 55   Ind
Elizabeth Fisher 55

Both born in county

Cannot find Elizabeth on 1861 Census. It is possible that she had died by then.

Hi Geoff,
I Don't think that's the correct person
 I think Elizabeth died in 1872.

Thanks anyway Geoff for your kind help

There is a family still in Cumwhitton in 1871.  Elizabeth age 79 is living with son Joseph and several of her other children.    Is this likely to be her?  Born Cumrew Cumberland.  Do you know what children she had?  RG10 5208 12 6
Joseph is a farmer of 60 acres.   
Andrea
Edit - I don't think this will be her as in 1861 she is of ind. means and obviously well off.  Brother George Leach living with her.  Yours is a woollen winder in 1851 - too big a change!
