Hi Liz,
I have done a bit of research into each of Elizabeth Slater's children.
ANN SLATER, bap. 14 Dec 1803 in Kneesall, Notts
m. William Turtle in 1827 in Kneesall.
On the 1841 census, living at Kneesall, also with them is Ann's great aunt Ann Taylor (who died there in 1845).
d. 31 May 1880 at Newark
HENRY SLATER, bap. 26 Apr 1809 in East Retford, Notts
Unable to trace any further record.
WILLIAM SLATER, bap. 23 Feb 1813 in Norwell, Notts
m. Phoebe Footitt in 1838 in Newark
d. 23 Mar 1895 in Newark
Elizabeth Slater went on to marry Thomas Wilson and had three further children at Norwell, Notts - Elizabeth (1822), Sarah (c.1824), and Thomas (1828).
There are also a few other wills that help piece the family together, here are my notes on these. These uncles' wills confirms that the above three Slaters are all Elizabeth's children.
