She is given as being born in Station Town (Hutton Henry Colliery) which is near Hartlepool, so am just checking births for you. Jack

The Wingate/Peterlee area records (which seem to be the correct ones) were listed under Easington up to 1895 and there is an Eliza Ball (1895) and an Elizabeth Ball (1894) shown. It looks like the enumerator may have been trying to write Liza or Lizzie I reckon. Jack

Thanks all I think the Eliza version is probably the closest, but will have to wait 'til the 1911 census comes along. Only a few more years to wait!! G
