Now another poser. There was a nancy highton in the holland household in pemberton , but it's saying she is 4 in 1861 I found a burial of a james huyton at upholland in 1849 . no age given . and obviously ellen was a widow in 1851, was nancy illigitamate?

If she was Ellen's child, then yes, if James was dead in 1851! (and consider Nancy may or may not be her birth name).

So, have you looked at the GRO index to see how old James was if his age isn't recorded on the burial?

The age for James is also on Lancs OPC, as well as on the GRO index.

I don't seem to find ellen huyton , after 1851 .I will check burials , i've checked later census 's but with no luck .

If she is the one who was 29 on the 1851 census, she may have remarried.

Qwackers · #**157** 11-12-21, 15:57

yes she is 29 on the 1851 census. will look for a remarriage

the only one i can find on family search is a 1860 marriage in manchester for a ellen highton to a george potter . . whether that is her are not . as the info doesn't show a lot of detail

There is an Ellen Highton death 1859 Pemberton district, age 38, on Lancashire BMD.

yes that could be her , as her children are with their grandmother in pemberton . so i think it's most likely her.
