Hi Folks, thanks for all the help with Lizzie McCartney. The Eliza who died in April 1889 could well be the same lady if we assume she was 27 and not 37. I know Arthur remarried in June 1889 just a couple of months after Lizzies death but who knows what transpired between their marriage in 1881 and her entry into the Workhouse, whenever that had happened and for whatever reason!
His marriage to Lizzie may well have been effectively over for some time and with her death he was free to marry again.
If she really was 22 in 1881 then she could have been 29 at the time of death and, here again, could the 27 be a 29? Certainly the Fortingale Street and the Arthur McCartney both fit the circumstances. Many thanks for the welcome to RootsChat - I reckon it could be a very useful tool in the family hunt!
