Hi. yes that was my grandad`s information.Ellen Stackhouse was married before to a William Thompson in 1895. She then remarried in 1912 to John Crook Stackhouse.I know my gran married John Thomas Fisher in 1916,just before he went to war.It was definately Ellen Stackhouses grave in Skerton Cemetary that she used to visit and had an arrangement with the gardener there,to make sure it was kept tidy.Funny how little things stick in your mind.We used to visit a man who lived on Main Street Skerton Lancaster,who i always understood to be a relative of hers. Sorry that i cant provide you with any more info,but thanks for your help up to now. I dont think she was ever married before.

(could Salome be Sally?)

If your Gran was born in 1882, then she would have been 33yrs old when she married John Fisher.
Is it possible that she was married before and that Williams was her married name and Stackhouse was her maiden name?

Do you have Eliza and John's marriage cert?
That would give you her father's name and occupation which would help find her in the census records. It would also give you the names of witnesses which may also help.

Is this her husbands death?

Not sure how it would help ....

I'm not seeing a marriage between an Ellen Williams and a Stackhouse.

Where did you get the information that the late Ellen Stackhouse was a Williams by birth?
