Find Ancestors

Hi

I am trying to find Elizabeth Pennington b1840 in Wigan on the 1841 & 1851 census. She married Jacob Clark/Clarke 4/12/1862 at St Cathrine's Wigan. I obtained the marriage cert and it gives her father as Peter Heaton. I found a birth record in 1840 which gives the mother's maiden name as Pennington which suggests she was illigitemate. I have searched for both Elizabeth Pennington and Heaton but can't find anything. I need her mother's christian name so that I can be sure the birth record is hers. Any help most appreciated.

Chris

Hi Safc
Thanks for that record, but really need to find them on the census to be sure the birth record is the correct one, don't you think!!

Just for a start on it..Hello Chris..~~~~~~~~

This child is the correct age to be the one on the baptism posted.

And from Lancsbmd

PENNINGTON Elizabeth Hindley Wigan & Leigh ATHERTON

And 1840 for the illegitimate one..

So looks like the one with grandparents Thomas and Mary on 1841 I posted earlier

Hi All

Thanks for the info and all your help, does look like the birth is one with the mother's maiden name Pennington, but really would be good if we could find Elizabeth on the 1851 census.

How are you FBG it's been a while since we have spoke. I'm still busy with grandson 20 months so need eyes in the back of the head.

Thanks for all your help I know when I post on GR I usually get results and it's much appreciated.

How is Stephen doing with the Chipps Cyn has he been to Yorkshire yet?


Chris x

I am well thank you Chris.
Another grandaughter will be arriving at the end of May..Will make it 5 grandchildren and 3 lovely Step grandchildren.....Would you like my birthday and christmas requests expense?

I am unable to locate her for sure on 1851 I am sorry,and believe me I did try..

As an elderly lady I once knew used to say.."Half a loaf is better than none"....

See you next time probably

Hello Chris

The 1851 which Astra found could be your Elizabeth - Queen Street is the street next to Faggy Lane.

Also the surname could well be "Pinnington" and there is this birth record:

Births Jun 1839
Pinnington Elizabeth
Wigan 21 824
____

This could be Peter Heaton - note there is a Pennington in the household!

1841
HO107 Piece 523 Book/Folio 9/20 Page 33

Heaton, Richard M 40
Heaton, Ann F 35

Cunningham, James M 20
Cunningham, Elizabeth F 20
Cunningham, Ann F 4
Tinsley, James M 25
Tinsley, Ann F 5
PENNINGTON, Ann F 3
Hurst, Ann F 12

Faggy Lane, again!

Hi Rotals

Thats interesting could be the same Elizabeth, certainly looks like the same family.

Thanks for your help.

Chris

Hi Chris. Good to hear from you again. Haven't heard that he has been to Yorkshire yet as he has been poorly since August and only just recovered. He also works too hard. His mum and I have become great friends though....she's a lovely lady. Hope you get sorted with this lot!! Love. Cx
