	Elizabeth's birth details would seem to be a necessary datum here -- i.e. what you know, or what she reported in censuses as where and when born -- for trying to find her in the 1881. Where are they in the 1871?

	Do you know if John is buried at St Thomas Eccleston and therefore maybe Elizabeth either burial or re-marriage. The records are held in the LRO at Preston for that era.

Member Since: February 2006 Posts: 22 Send Message	Hello Alan, Thanks for the long shot, I always keep an open mind on these things as you never know what will come up next, i was thinking that Elizabeth remarried, and her new husband, would not let her take the child with her so she had to leave her him behind with his grandparents. or she may have died too. Has anyone any ideas, on how I could tackle this from a different angle. best regards Sylvia
