Default Elizabeth (possibly Biddle) MMFFM

Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Elizabeth; possible surname: Biddle.

Date and place of birth
c. 1795 at Mountsorrel South, near Rothley, Leicestershire (according to 1851 census); c. 1796 according to age on death.

Names of parents

If the 1796 baptism is correct: William Biddle and Alice Gregory (NB: one of William and Elizabeth North's sons had the Christian name Gregory).

Date and place of baptism - if applicable
Possible baptism: 14th June 1796 at Mountsorrel, Leicestershire.

Details of each of his or her marriages - if any
Probable marriage:
18th February 1829, by banns, at Rothley Parish Church, Leicestershire.
William North, widower OTP
Elizabeth Biddle, spinster of South Mountsorrel in this parish.

Unfortunately, North is a common name in the Rothley/Mountsorrel area.
My great-grandfather William North appears in the 1841 and 1851 censuses with a wife Elizabeth, whose birth is given as Mountsorrel South in the 1851 census, so I assume this is Elizabeth Biddle in view of the abode given in the 1829 marriage entry, and her age on death.

Other possible marriages for William North (born c. 1780) to Elizabeths:
- William North, of Rothley, & Elizabeth Haywood, married in Thurcaston-cum-Cropston (near Rothley), Leicestershire, on 3rd December 1798
- William North, bachelor OTP to Elizabeth Sharpe, spinster OTP, in Rothley, by banns, 25th December 1824

I would guess that Elizabeth Sharpe was William's first wife and Elizabeth Biddle the second; not sure about Elizabeth Haywood.

Problem: the William North who married Elizabeth Sharpe in 1824 signed his name. The one who married Elizabeth Biddle in 1829 made his mark.

Of course, William's first wife may not have been called Elizabeth, and the first marriage may not have been in the Rothley area.

Cause of death: cirrhosis.
Informant: Mary North (presumably her daughter-in-law Mary North née Parkinson).
