Elizabeth Swaddle, 1827–1866 (aged 39 years)

Name
Elizabeth /Swaddle/
Birth
Marriage
Birth of a son
Note: Appears to have been registered at Stockton rather than Hartlepool.
Census 1851
Note: Living with husband William and family at Stranton, Durham.
Birth of a son
Note: Can't find a birth record. Possibly 1852 at Stockton.
Census 1861
Note: Living with family at parents house at Stranton, Durham. Laundress.

Living with family at parents house at Stranton, Durham. Laundress.

No sign of husband William, although she's still married at this point.

This is a bit wierd, although all the names and dates check out. Her parents are recorded as Stokes, which could either mean that she was married (and widowed) prior to marrying William in 1845, or her mother remarried and the reference to daughter should really be step-daughter. Going with this for the time being.

Death
between 1862 and 1866 (aged 39 years)
Note: Can't find a death record, but there were a lot around with this name.
