My great grandma Eliza Harston was born 11 january 1817 in Barnsley, her parents were William and Betty Harston. Eliza married Luke Widdowson 14 April 1836 In Royston Parish Church.
Any info very welcome. They had 13 children and Luke was known to have fathered one illegitamate child named John.

The 12 January christening gives the date of birth as 23 ult.  This would mean she was born 23 December.

Hi thanks for replying, I have all her children's info and where they lived, births and marriage. Would like to know if anyone else has her in their family tree or any descendants of the family.

Hi.  Not sure if this is what you are looking for but I have a William Harper born 1852 who married Caroline Harston in 1871 in Barnsley.  I think she was a daughter of William and Sarah Ann Harston from Monk Bretton.  Sadly Caroline died in 1874.  William then married Mary Ann Harston 1877 in Barnsley.  I think she was a daughter of James and Mary Harston from Monk Bretton.
