PS so just who is the child of Michael Dixon and Elizabeth that you are directly related to?

If she's the one I suggested, with husband "M", then:
She was born to William  and Rebecca Stokes, ( both born circa 1799). In 1851 she's with them, and two siblings. She seems to have had other siblings: Isabella, William, Joseph, Mary (Ann), Eliza and George, if you look at 1841 and 1851 censuses.
She married Michael Dixon in 1855, shortly before the birth of her oldest child. He was James, b 1855, and other children were Mary, William, Ellen, John, Allan, and Elizabeth.
In 1891 she seems to be widowed, and living with Ellen and her husband, Jacob Evans, as I said.
She's quoted as a dressmaker in at least two censuses, including the "Workhouse" one.
-Is any / all of this helpful to you? It'd be nice to get feedback either way.
