Title: Baptism in Sproughton - BEESTON *Completed*
Post by: Brockers on Saturday 28 July 07 13:09 BST (UK)

Hi,

I am trying to trace my great x 3 grandmother, her name was Elizabeth Beeston (later married to Robert Wilson) and she was born in Sproughton c. 1820.

I know from Elizabeth's marriage certificate that her father was Thomas Beeston and he was a labourer living in Sproughton in 1844. I have looked at the 1841 census and have found a Thomas but not an Elizabeth in Sproughton so I can't link him to Elizabeth for sure. I can't find Elizabeth on the IGI either.

I would like to find out who Elizabeth's mother was and if Elizabeth had any brothers or sisters.

Any help would be much appreciated.
