Default Elizabeth Trusler

I'm back to work tomorrow, so I'll shut up then, but a cannot believe how siblings with unusual names are so determined to hide from view.

Elizabeth is another child of William Trusler and Maria Sworn, born 1821 in Salisbury.

In 1841, aged 20, she is a female servant under an innkeeper's roof in Winchetster Street, Salisbury. Younger sister, Mary Ann is with her, and George Sworn, running the inn next door is a cousin.

Marriages Jun 1842 (>99%)
DUFOSEE William Salisbury 8 641
FUTCHER Sarah Salisbury 8 641
MORRIS Mary Salisbury 8 641
PARSONS William Salisbury 8 641
SEARLE John Salisbury 8 641
TRUSLER Elizabeth Salisbury 8 641
WARREN William Salisbury 8 641
YOUNG Mary Salisbury 8 641

John Searle m Sarah Futcher (established via Wiltshire UK BMD)
William Dufosee appears to have died aged 40 in 1847 (do)
Mary Dufosee aged 36 in 1845 (do)

1844 (do)
WARREN (girl) Daughter Of William 0
WARREN Mary 33

So, possibly

PARSONS William
TRUSLER Elizabeth

I have found an Elizabeth Parsons b 1821, Salisbury (no marital status!) a servant out of employ lodging with the Mason family in High Cross Tottenham in 1851.

Can anyone spot her in later censuses?

There are two trees on Ancestry which show Elizabeth's death as:

Also ten children b Adelaide.

The Australian Death Index on ancestry does have an Elizabeth Parsons dying 11 Aug 1868 Adelaide, South Australia, age 47, but it doesn't give her parents' names.

And there are some births on the ancestry Australian Birth Index with parents William Parsons and Elizabeth Trusler, so it looks as though those trees will be right.

Gosh, thank you, ladies! It is to be hoped that she got away from Salisbury's corrupting influence and led a blameless life.

You might have said that she had too many children to get into trouble, but that never cramped her sister's style.

lol! I have always fund that anyone on my tree born in Wiltshire and especially in Salisbury have a special talent for either disappearing or effectively disappearing by not remembering when or where they were born!!

It is just too easy for them to zip into Hampshire or London. And one branch of Elizabeth's mother's family landed in Cheshire of all places.

At least the other researchers do not appear to have followed the siblings, do discover their chequered histories

If you search the SA births here, you'll see that Elizabeth's maiden name's given:
