James had a son called George Abraham with Sarah Ann Wiltshire in 1853. James died in 1858 and Elizabeth Wiltshire was present at the death so I assumed that she was Sarah's sister. By the way if it helps, Sarah was born in Glasgow. David

Just a correction on the 1861 census Louisa E. is Whitfield not Wiltshire as transcribed. Elizabeth is Wiltshire.

Hello Margaret, Thank you for your help, that adds up now, thank you. Regards David

I believe on the 1851 census the term daughter-in-law is used to denote stepdaughter. She's only 15. I believe she's Sarah's daughter from a previous marriage or illegitimate, Margaret

David Its just that there is a big age gap between Sarah and Elizabeth, that i woundered if they were mother and daughter Julie

David

David Report 19 May 2007 15:40

Yes think that would be it then, they have to be mother and daughter. Thank you Julie and Margaret for your help. David
