Ellen Cheetham Eccles/Barton

[AH]

I am looking for any info on
Ellen Cheetham daughter of William Cheetham (weaver) of Eccles baptised 11th February 1810.
She had an illegitimate child Elijah baptised on 31st May 1829 and then I loose track of her and her son.  Elijah pops up again in the 1871 census occupation gardener?
I've checked the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census around the area, the marriage and burrial records as best I could but without much success.  Does anyone have any other ideas where I could look? Or perhaps any information about how or what a journeyman gardener did? All help gratefully received!

Hi
  I have searched for Ellen Cheetham without find anything other than the details you already have.
  It seems likely that if she married/died it would have been before 1837,as their is no ref to either on the freeBMD site

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl

  When you say you have searched the 1841/1851 census's did you search for both Ellen and Elijah seperatly, he must have been somewhere in the area of Eccles/Barton finding him could maybe give clues as to Ellen's whereabouts.
 All the parish records will be at Salford RO.
 On line I would suggest searching Genuki Eccles
 http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Eccles/
there are some records that have been published.

As for your journeyman question, my understanding is that he is an apprentice trained craftsman that plies his trade for wages rather than being a master who employs others.
I think ?

good luck with your search
