Sorry to all. Got totally mixed up.

Etherley Lane, birthplace of Ellen Ovington in 1901 census is less than 2 miles away from Escomb, birthplace (per 1881 census) of Ellen Liddle, daughter of John & Margaret J. - nee Naisbitt.
[Margaret written as Mary by mistake in 1881 ]


The other Ellen, daughter of John & Mary Ann (nee Robson) , was born in Waterhouses, which is nearly 10 miles away from Etherley Lane.

Of course you need the Ovington marriage cert to be sure, but on balance, geographically, it seems likely that Ellen Ovington is the Escomb child - daughter of John & Margaret, with the siblings your opening post was about.

fmp suggests the ellen who married matthew was this

ties up with the birth reg in s quarter mmn naisbitt

the ellen ovington in 1901 says she was born etherley which is part of auckland

You said you couldn’t see Ellen after 1881…………..and the 1901 isn’t Ellen, it’s MARGARET J

Also, Ellen was born C1875…NOT 1885

no ellen with them in 1891 either

could be the waterhuse ellen

only marraige cert can be conclusive

Hi, again. Surely the marriage to Matthew Ovington in 1894 is not the Ellen Liddle I am researching as she is shown as 17 years old with her Father John Liddle in 1901 at Albert Terrace in Esh, Lanchester.

OVINGTON, MATTHEW LIDDLE

Thank you to all you researchers. I was beginning to think she may have died, as she doesn't seem to appear anywhere after the 1901 Census in Esh with her Father John, now a Widower.

Hi. Found both in 1881 Census as children of John and Margaret J. Liddle living at Wear Tce. Escomb, Durham. I can't seem to trace them after that. Any help would be appreciated.
Yours, Terry. L.
