Elizabeth Johnstone 1888.

[nenepops]

I have Elizabeth Johnstone in my tree b1888 Hawick. Her mother was Elizabeth Johnstone b1869.
She is on the census 1891 Hawick as a boarder but after that cannot find her?
Could anyone help on her whereabouts please?

Have you checked SP for a marriage for Elizabeth senior?  Elizabeth jnr may be under her mothers married name

Elizabeth Johnstone is under her mother’s maiden name. Her mother married after Elizabeth was born 1890 to Martin Jardine.
But I’ll look now.

Rather strange that the 1901 for Martin Jardine has a 1yr old Elizabeth.  Also shows Elizabeth Jardine was b England 1862 but 1881 & 1891 shows England 1869

1891 also has a 5mth old Joseph Jardine who is with Martin & Elizabeth in 1901

There is an 1891 death in Hawick for an Elizabeth Jardine mmn Johnston

Although they married 1890 - Elizabeth is under Johnstone in 1891 as she is with her parents

There is an 1891 death in Hawick for an Elizabeth Jardine mmn Johnston

Oh really….🤔

[CaroleW]

No other Elizabeth Jardine matching her age in 1891 - death age was 4yrs

[CaroleW]

If it is the right death - it would account for their first daughter born after they married being called Elizabeth.  They had 3 sons prior to her birth

So the Elizabeth that died would’ve been Elizabeth Johnstone then?
