Elizabeth Reeves 1861 Look up please

[Dougalmac2]

In 1871 Elizabeth Freakley (born Trent Vale c 1820) is a widow living at 16 Apple Grove, Tranmere with Daughters Ann Reeves (15) and Mary Reeves (13), both born in the Stoke on Trent Area. I believe her to be the Elizabeth Reeves who married James Freakley in 1862 at W. Derby and that she was a widow at that time. Can anyone find her in 1861 please either with her husband or again as a widow with the two girls?

Thanks in anticipation,  Mac

This could be Elizabeth in 1861, but unfortunately (if it's the right one) her daughters aren't with her:

RG9/1895/112A/1 - Hinstock, Shropshire
John Owen PARR  Head  55  Curate of Hinstock  Remenham, Berks
Mary Emily PARR  Wife  53  London
Elizabeth REEVES  Servant  Widow  38  House Keeper  Stoke upon Trent
Jane DUNN  Servant  16  House Maid  Cheswarden, Salop

Elizabeth's surname is very faint, and the end could be just about anything.   

However, the daughters' baptisms are on the LDS FamilySearch site https://www.familysearch.org which may help a little:

Ann REEVES, daughter of George REEVES and Elizabeth, baptised 3 June 1855, Penkhull

Mary REEVES, daughter of George REEVES and Elizabeth, baptised 10 May 1857, Penkhull

Hi Rambler

That seems to fit in nicely. It was a fair bet that she was widowed by '61.

Thanks ever so much for all that info and especially the baptisms of the girls. I hadn't got round to LDS.

I can't see an obvious death in freeBMD but a likley marriage is George Reeves to Elizabeth Marlow reg. Stoke upon Trent Mar1858.

All the best,

Mac
