Jenny Waghorn looking for marriage of Louisa Elstone to William Clifton . In the census 1871 we can see them married with 2 children but cannot find marriage cert. We think they changed their name to Thornton and we know in 1901 she was Louisa Hill and was in Paddington. |

Maybe them in 1871 although there is some confusion with the names. On the original it could be Louisa. Born in Berkshire |

So Louisa has a son Herbert Elston Thornton in 1874 who at his marriage names his father as William Thornton. She is then to be found in Paddington in 1891 with John Hill and in 1901 she is a Widow. |

The crucial census is the 1881 but I can't find any of them anywhere. She's not with John Hill, he is still with his mother and sister Louisa. I have searched under Thornton, Elstone and Clifton but just can't track her or her children down. The only thing that appears to be a certainty is that she didn't marry any of her "husbands". |
