Elizabeth Watson - birthplace?
« on: Thursday 13 February 14 23:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am trying to work out where Elizabeth Watson (nee Scott) was born in order that i can try and find her parents, see attached.  It looks like Sarington, Derbyshire!!!!

Elizabeth was born about 1812 and is living in Leicester with her husband in 1851 ( HO107/2090/311 p22.

Can anybody help with suggestions?  Interestingly i noticed a completely unrelated person in my tree with a similar looking place name although that was listed as Wawickshire.  Not sure if that is a clue.

Thanks in advance.

TB

The last letter of the word looks like an "r" to me.

Hi, looks like Tissington to me, it's a very pretty village to be honest, dating back to the Domesday Book.
