I have Elizabeth Jackson dau of William and Dorothy

She was bapt 10.10.1841 Ambleside Westmorland

In 1851 census she appears with her parents at Chapel Hill, Ambleside.

I don't have her in '61 or '71 census

She marries Thomas Pennington 28.5.1874 in Ambleside then they move to Dalton in Furness where they live out their lives.

Can some kind person look up the '61 and '71 please? I've failed with familysearch.

My cert is for Ambleside, 28.5.1874. Maybe it's the wrong one?

No, it must be right. He is from Roose near Barrow, and she is from Ambleside.

Just for our reference:


If you've got the right Elizabeth, her father's not a farmer in 1851:

Hawkshead was in Lancashire pre-1974.

Ambleside has never been in Lancashire, as far as I know.

In 1841 census the parents and first child seem to be in Grasmere. Elizabeth was baptised later in the year, born after the census. Plenty of opportunity for the family to be living elsewhere, or Elizabeth born at a relatives house?

The 1838 birth is accurate, she died 1.6.1924 age 86 in Ulverston (district), still lived in Dalton as far as I know.

I think there's more than 1 family here.

Those parents William Jackson and Dorothy Thompson, married 1839, listed in the 1841 census with 1 son b maybe 1839.

I have a baptism recorded for an Elizabeth Jackson 10.10.1841 in Ambleside.

Will have another look tomorrow, my head is hurting now!

The date of Elizabeth's baptism isn't necessarily an indication of her birth year.
Children were often baptised several years after their birth - sometimes as a job lot with siblings.

Did you notice the possible 1871 census I posted for Elizabeth?

The William who married Dorothy Thompson is definitely Elizabeth's father - he's a chaise driver at marriage, as in the 1851 and 1861 censuses - and of course Elizabeth's with them in 1851.

But I don't see Elizabeth 1838 in 1841 - at least not if she's William & Dorothy's daughter.
