Elizabeth Laws bn 1854 But Where?
« on: Thursday 17 April 14 23:26 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for Elizabeth Laws, bn in 1854, daughter of Isaac Laws and Elizabeth Lowton.  The 1871 census lists her birth place as Grange, Durham, but I can't find it.  It also lists her brother's birthplaces as Helloe instead of Kelloe, so her own birth could be a mis-transcription.  The IGI lists her christening as 13 Dec 1854 but the location is just Durham.

In 1871 the family are in Esh, Lanchester, Durham. Brothers are Robert, Isaac, John, William, Thomas and Richard Laws.  Thomas and Richard would not have been born in 1861.

Can anyone see her on the 1861 census please?

Are you aware that there are 2 Elizabeth Laws/Lawes both born Durham 1853/4 and both with a father Isaac occ coal miner?  One has mother Dorothy.

Don't tell me Ancestry have actually beaten FindMyPast on a mis-transcription - usually the other way around ;D

New Grange!  OK, thanks very much, I'll have a bash at finding that.

There are a lot of Laws families in the Durham area at the time, a confusing amount!  I've seen the one with a mother named Dorothy, she's definitely not mine though.

Thanks all.
