Help trying to find ancestor after 1891 please.
« on: Monday 08 January 24 21:17 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to find an ancestor after 1891. I had some really good fortune over the weekend with information and details regarding another ancestor in this family after posting a Look Up request.

I am trying to find more about Elizabeth Waters who was born in Fincham in Norfolk in 1868. I have managed to find a baptism record for her dated 06.12.1868. I have also found her on the 1881 and 1891 census but I am struggling to find a mention of her after this time. In 1891 she was working as a General Domestic Assistant for a Hannah Bunkall aged 71 a widowed butcher at High Street in Downham Market.

Unfortunately I do not possess any subscription to any family history websites so my research is limited.

Just wondering if anyone has access to information or records and could help push my search along.

Many thanks in advance for all offers of help and assistance  ;)

Thank you for your reply and the suggestions but I have already tried those........thats where the details I have already accumulated came from  ;)

I am planning a trip to my local library hopefully during the next few days. I can then access FindMyPast using the library edition, until then because my enthusiasm has been rekindled with the success I achieved with my Look Up request, I was hoping maybe someone has Elizabeth Waters in their tree and could help.

Could this be her burial on ancestry in  Norfolk, England, Transcripts of Church of England Baptism, Marriage and Burial Registers

Elizabeth Waters
Death Age   39
Birth Date   abt 1870
Death Date About 1909
Burial Date 25 November 1909
Burial Place North Runcton, Norfolk, England
Parish as it Appears   North Runcton

If it is her she should be on the 1901 census but I haven't seen her as yet.

There is a marriage 1899 registered Downham for an Elizabeth Watters to Herbert Arthur Higgins

NO wrong one census says she was born Cumberland, so cross that off the list

Many thanks crisane for taking the time to reply and the details you supply.

This is where things get slightly complicated.........as the Elizabeth Waters you mention in your reply is not the same Elizabeth Waters born 1868.

The Elizabeth Waters you mention was married to Isaac Waters ( Isaac was the person who I posted a 1934 burial Look Up request for over the weekend ) and I already have all the information and records for her  ;D

The Elizabeth Waters I am interested in finding was born 1868 and was Isaac`s sister.

So Isaac had a wife and a sister named Elizabeth. Hope that makes sense  ;)

Many thanks Steve

Many thanks amondg for your two replies and for taking an interest in my post.

Albert Waters born in Fincham in 1892 was the son of Elizabeth Waters born 1868 and the one I am trying to find after 1891  ;)

1911 census
Louisa Waters  widow 64  born Downham Market  Married 44 years 5 children 4 living 1 deceased
Robert Harry    son 23 brick lab. born Fincham
Albert             grand son   18  brick lab. born Fincham
-----------------
The child who died is Agnes  birth reg. 1880 Downham burial 2 July 1884 at Fincham age 4
----------------
Mary Ann has married George Morton 16 April 1892
Isaac married Sarah Ann West 21 November 1896 at North Runcton
Robert Harry married Katie E A Bloom 1918

------------------
So I think I have answered my own question concerning Albert he was registered December quarter
1892 if he belonged to Mary he would be Albert Morton as they married in April 1892.
So he has to be the son of Elizabeth.  ADDED Just saw your reply
------------
Based on the information her mother gave in 1911 she is still alive.
