Burial Record - Elizabeth Routledge, wife of William Routledge of Trough

[sirsimon]

Hello,

On 15th November 1738 in Stapleton, there is a marriage of a Elizabeth Steell (Steel) to William Routledge.

William's father Alan lived in Trough, Stapleton and after Alan's death, John Steel inherited the estate.

My question is, does anyone have access to the burial records of Stapleton? I would be appreciative if someone could locate a burial record for Elizabeth, whom might have been John's sister.

my thanks

No ages given, but I can locate a couple burials, maybe a child of the couple and the mother

Elizabeth Routledge buried 18 Dec 1744 Stapleton

Elizabeth Routledge buried 20 Jun 1777 Stapleton.

The couple seemed to bury a few children in Stapleton

Robert: 29 April 1742 Stapleton, father William
Allan:   31 January 1740 Stapleton, "       "

Thanks

Do any of the burials state a residence?

No sorry, they are just transcriptions from F M P.

what about gravestone inscriptions?

[sirsimon]

Do the burial transcriptions give a residency? Though there are no ages, it could confirm which one of them is at least Elizabeth the mother

This appears to be the right person:

From actual Stapleton Parish Register:
11.03.1741 ROUTLEDGE, Elizabeth, wife of William of Trough -- buried

From Gravestone:
William ROUTLEDGE of Row died 03.12.1763 aged 72 years. Also Elizabeth his wife who died 06.03.1741 aged 28 years.

Hi Clearly,

Thanks for taking a look, I greatly appreciate it

Yep that is indeed the right transcript, when William's father Alan died in 1743, the property of Trough went to Elizabeth's younger brother John, whom is my 9x great grandfather.

This revelation pushes my tree back another 5 years and because she was born in 1713, it means both her parents were born before 1700, William was born in 1691

Strange that Alan Routledge left the farm to his daughter-in-law's brother and not to his own son. Is there any reason for this?
