1851 census help please
 

Can anyone find Elizabeth Featherstone in 1851 please?

Here she is in 1861, but a servant.

This is a link to FMP as I cant find her on Ancestry

https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...1%2F0019122982

It's RG09- 3738- 74-3

I'm trying to find her with her parents. I'm trying to avoid buying her marriage cert.

Her birth registration is the March quarter of 1842 in Durham and Lanchester. MMN FORSTER

There is a Forster on that same 1861 census, maybe her grandfather?

I can't find a suitable Featherstone and Forster marriage either post 1837 so assume it's prior to that.

Marg, I haven't found her in 1851 but I think this might be her baptism is on Durham Records Online, but you have to pay £1.50 for it.

I forgot to look at Freebmd.

I’m doing my brother in laws tree and Durham records, where most of his ancestors were from, seem to be few and far between online.

Elizabeth didn’t have much of a life. She died in 1864, I assume in childbirth as her daughter was born at that same time.

Is this them in 1851?

Yes!

Thank you Julie

I've also found the marriage now. Joseph Featherston (no e) married Jane Forster in 1840 in Durham.

On Elizabeth's birth registration the mothers maiden name is listed as Forster, on all subsequent births it is Foster.
