Title: Elizabeth Barrow - single, married or died
Post by: Philezra on Tuesday 11 July 17 22:37 BST (UK)
Hi.

Elizabeth Barrow born Abram 1848 to William and Esther.

1871 the family are living at 31 Old Road, Failsworth.

By 1881, her three siblings are married and her parents are living with Critchley Daniels and Ellen (née Barrow) at 97 Bradford Street, Oldham. Parents are written as Barratt.

Looking for Elizabeth.

Phil

Thank you very much.

Haven't you checked freebmd for a marriage or death?  Marriages in Wigan 1872 and 1879

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/

The 1881 is free to search on Family Search

Yes. Been through those and tried to look at all those Elizabeths born in Abram/Wigan (in 1881 census) and all potential Wigan marriages for Elizabeth Barrow.

Am trying not to rely on Rootschat people as I have learnt a few things recently.

Have you checked Family Search? There is a transcription of the 1879 marriage which has her father as William

What was William's occupation?

Where did her siblings marry?  Critchley & Ellen married at St Matthews Chadderton 1879 - Reg district Oldham.  Failsworth came under Prestwich

Did she have a second christian name?

Opening post says parents were William & Esther.  Reply 10 of link above mentions an Elizabeth Alice Barrow but her parents  seem to be Abel & Isabella.  Very sketchy info given in that post so difficult to determine who belongs to who

Sisters Nancy married Ben Gomersall  in St Mary the Virgin, Prestwich on 28 Sept 1878. James Holgate was a witness.

James Holgate married another sister, Maria on 4 Sept 1878 - same church.

1871 the family are living at 31 Old Road, Failsworth.

But what you haven't included is that Elizabeth wasn't with them in 1871!!

The way your post is phrased gives the impression she was still with family in 1871 so any marriage search was from 1871 onwards.

She was 23yrs old by 1871 so could have married before 1871 ::)

Suggest you check the 1871 and 1881 censuses for all the spouse names listed by Heatherjulie to see if the details for wife Elizabeth matches what you know

Have managed to do that, to no avail.

Maybe she married/died under Bessie/Lizzie etc....

Will have to revisit this one.....

Thank you for all your help/suggestions/pointers. They all help me in hopefully finding these things out myself.
