Elizabeth WOODROW

1804 - 1861  (56 years)

• Name	Elizabeth WOODROW
  Birth	27 May 1804	Durham, Co. Durham   [1]
  	Birthplace given in 1851 census, date from baptism register. Discrepancy in age (50 in 1851) puts the relevance of this baptism in some doubt, though it is supported by the exact correlation with the age given unusually precisely in 1841.
  Christening	16 Sep 1804	Cockfield, Co. Durham
  Gender	Female
  Census	1841	Sheriff Hill, Gateshead, Co. Durham
  	Age: 37
  Residence	30 Mar 1851	William Street, Gateshead, Co. Durham
  	Age: 50
  Death	1851-1861
  	Not found in census after 1851. The deaths of no fewer than 5 individuals of this name are registered in Gateshead between 1851 and 1861. Given that her youngest son was living with one of her daughters in 1861, it seems certain that Elizabeth had died by then.
  Notes	Try to find more evidence of these parents, perhaps by establishing birthplace more precisely from 1861 census. 1861: NOT in William Street. Cockfield is 15 miles SW of Durham. Deptford & Bishopwearmouth are about 12 miles NE of Durham. Baptism states that she is the first daughter of these parents.
