Where have you found the baptism of Elizabeth, Marian?

I'm not seeing it - at least not on Ancestry or FS.

Below coming up on google search...

Robert Littlefair is listed as the husband of Janet Anderson on the grave monument.

Thomas Race's parents were Thomas and Mary.

South Shields is completely different from Darlington.

hi, on family search it has the address as South Shields holy Trinity, Darlington.

hello both, looks like it could be Elizabeths burial as Alwent Mill is where other Races were baptised. The Robert connection was just guesswork on my part. Thank you both for looking.

Janet from 1841 census died in 1843 so Margaret was possibly her child.
