ELIZABETH 1857 same details.
Cant find anymore children to James/Elizabeth 1843-1852 as Fordyce said.
Fordyce just a couple of questions.
Have you checked Scotlandspeople for a Death for Elizabeth c 1853-1857?
Or she may be under Helen as per 1841 Census.
Or possible births on there for other children (and deaths)
Open to anyone who can help!
