A puzzle for a wet afternoon/evening. (Well, it's wet here!)
Can anyone find what happened to this girl after 1851, please?
She's not related to me.
I just came across her unusual name while looking for someone else, and of course shot off at a tangent, trying to follow her life.
She's on eight trees on Ancestry, but none of them has a marriage or death for her.

Catherine Denstone 18
Isaiah Denstone 14
Cressor Denstone 6
Ann and Isaiah both died in 3rd quarter 1849, and possibly also Ann's husband Thomas, aged 56.
Catherine was baptised 1821, and married Alfred Street in 1845.
She seems to have had a daughter Elizabeth in Dudley, Staffs in 1847 (mmn Denston) and died in 1848 in Dudley and was buried in Bilston, Staffs.
Thomas (born c1820, baptised 1837), married Eliza Evans in 1845, and had daughters Elizabeth 1847 and Ann c1949, but I can't see them after 1851 census either.

Ancestry's transcription of 1851 has lumped three households together as one. I've edited out the other households (Richards and Doughty) when copying here.
Although Cressa is listed as Eliza Harrison's sister-in-law, I think it should be
"sister" - though I can't see Eliza's baptism, nor can I see her in 1841.:
Eliza Denstone

Name: Eliza Denstone
Marriage Age: Full Age

Marriage Place: Broseley, Shropshire, England
Religion: Anglican
Father: Thomas Denstone
Spouse: John Harrison
Page number: 158

Eliza's with her husband and children in later censuses.
However, I can find no sign of Cressa after 1851.

Oh - Cressa was easily found after all!
Thank you!
I had hunted high and low for her death.
Many thanks, too, for Thomas & Eliza in 1861 and 1871.
DENSTONE, CELENA mmn EVANS
GRO Reference: 1852 M Quarter in WOLVERHAMPTON Volume 06B Page 413
I had seen the 1861 , but as Eliza is called Ellen then, and as Thomas's birthplace is given as Colmore, not Broseley, I had dismissed it as being a different family.
