Mary Lythgoe (Liverpool 1861).

[ScouseRicey]

Mary's parents were Thomas and Elizabeth Lythgoe.

So, if the 1 year old Elizabeth and her mother, Mary, listed as visitors , is the same Mary who married a Pendleton later that year, then Elizabeth Lythgoe could well have taken on the Pendleton surname along with her Mum?!?

Elizabeth Pendleton with parents Thomas and Mary, and siblings, can be found on 1861 census living in Litherland.  They are also in several trees on Ancestry.

Many thanks 1banshee and chempat. It looks like you've solved the puzzle. I'll have to check it out further, but many, many, thanks.

Glad to help ScouseRicey - I know how frustrating it can be when a brick wall is hit, especially when you are armed with details!  I'm still looking for numerous Irish relatives who came over to both Glasgow and Liverpool - all the details are there on various documents but finding them is proving to be fruitless up to now lol - hope it is your Elizabeth Lythgoe and the missing piece of the puzzle
