Elizabeth Illidge, born 1844 in Aston-by-Sutton

[Deirdre784]

Thanks both, you're so kind to spend time on this 

I tried every variation of Illidge I could think of last night looking for them in 1841 and 1881 but no luck. Also looked for Ann's birth registration but again nothing. It seems strange to find no baptisms or birth registrations for any of the children (and I guess there could be more children).

I have sent in an order to the GRO for Elizabeth's birth, looking for Elizabeth Illidge or variation born in Aston-by-Sutton in 1844 - so they'll look for 1843 to 1845 - with parents John and Sarah. Hope she was born in AbS as I have a feeling it said Dutton somewhere, though that looks fairly close. Takes a few weeks though 

Thanks again for all the help, another brick wall may be on the way down...

I've enjoyed this one and I do hope that when the cert arrives it's the correct one and that Sarah Yarwood is her mother
It would be really great if you could let us know the outcome

I was in the process of typing a reply, apologising to garstonite for not spotting that he'd found John and Sarah in 1881 (as Illidge but ages were way out  ) when my tablet battery ran out 

I certainly will let you know what happens with the birth certificate. I did look at cheshirebmd in case that would have been quicker and a better option with a query birth but I couldn't find her possible birth on there so went with the GRO.

Lovely sunny morning here (Cardiff) today; hope you all have a good day.

Hi rolnora, crisane found that one back in reply 2; I'm hoping it's the one otherwise her birth may not have been registered. I didn't find it on cheshirebmd though 

[Deirdre784]

Found it on Cheshire BMD now, think I was thrown by the mention of Frodsham 

Still can't find registration of younger sister Ann though, under any possible surname 

[Deirdre784]

Found 2 Sarah Yarwood baptisms with Hugh as father... not in Whatcroft though
- 4 Sep 1808 in Davenham and
- 3 Dec 1815 in Knutsford

Hi, Deidre, given Whatcrofts position a baptism would most likely be in Davenham, but still possible at Knutsford. Look at GenukiUk for Parish information to see.

Thanks Kath, will do; I've just found and printed out an old parish map to try and help too
