Elizabeth GARNER bur 30 Dec 1862 Thrussington

[Westy11]

I am hoping to locate Elizabeth GARNER in the 1861 census at Thrussington. In locating her i am interested in where she was born and with whom she is living.

At the heart of my research is an attempt to locate Elizabeth WOOD who married William GARNER 15 Oct 1804 Thrussington.  William was baptised Thrussington 13 Dec 1780.

There are a number of Elizabeth WOOD in Leicestershire so am attempting to narrow down the field.

Assistance appreciated.

According to the 1851 (b 1784) and 1861 (b 1781) censuses, she was born in Leicester. Two births around that time:-

Elizabeth Wood daighter of William and Mary, born on 24th October and baptised on 26th October 1781 at Leicester St Martin's

Elizabeth Wood, daughter of John and Susannah, born on 1st August and baptised on 7th August 1782 at St Margaret'd. Buried 21st May 1784 at same church.

The daughter of William and Mary fits, although her burial suggests a birth date of 1778.

Hello David & Comberton,

Thanks so much.

" The daughter of William and Mary fits, although her burial suggests a birth date of 1778.".  Your opinion as to the possible discrepancy?

Have gradually followed the line back to Henry GARNER who is the father of William, Elizabeth's grandson who is living with her in 1861.

However I am unable to locate Henry's baptism which is said to be Thrussington abt 1812.

Any ideas??
