We could do with some more information, do you have any census hits on her and family?
David
-
I take it one these is her husband?
Marriages Sep 1904
Almond Betsy Ann Blackburn 8e 922
Ashworth John Thomas Blackburn 8e 922
Dickinson Elizabeth Alice Blackburn 8e 922
Hurst William Britten Blackburn 8e 922
-
i have no hits on the census
the one i know about she married william britten hurst in 1904
-
there are birth regs for Eliabeth Alice Dickenson in 1872,1876, 1878 in various parts of lancs - in addition to Dickinson's
you can see them on FreeBMD (note spelling of Dickenson)
I think you may have to purchase the marriage cert to get Father's name and occupation - as on census there are many Elizabeth Dickenson /Dickinsons abt correct age (some with middle initial A) so it is very difficult to know you are following the correct line without some documentation

On the 1901 there is a Elizabeth A Dickinson, 27, born Lancs, living in Blackburn, eployment: Cotton Weaver
-

Suz

Andy
Where did you get the birth year of 1875 from?
David
-
no i have looked in to the 1911 census forgot all about that
-
i had it on my other computer but i lost it when the hard drive got wiped
-
On IGI there is a Elizabeth A Dixon which fits:
Dwelling 10 Brighton Grove
Census Place Layton With Warbreck, Lancashire, England
Family History Library Film 1342017
Public Records Office Reference RG11
Piece / Folio 4253 / 9
Page Number 14
But without some additional information we are fumbling in the dark a little.

There is no coroberating Birth for Elizabeth A Dixon in Blackburn to substantiate the 1881 IGI spelling of Dixon, so that may have been a transciption error.

Hi all :)
If I'm looking at the right family in 1911, Andy, her birth year is ca. 1881?
Agree with Suz - marriage cert is the way to go I'm afraid
-
thankyou for all your help i will see if i can get some more information and get back to you all
-
Afraid I have to go ..... ttfn ;)

So, in 1911 we have, in Blackburn district, William B Hurst with wife Elizabeth A age 31 and 4 children, 3 of which seem to be from William's previous marriage to Annie.
Elizabeth A's birth place doesn't seem to be Blackburn :P
-
thats correct william was married to an annie blakley before he married elizabeth alice dickinson
-
Have you seen the actual 1911 census details? It could be useful to know what birth place Elizabeth gives :)
-
no i haven't seen the details on the 1911 census yet
i will be sending for the marriage cert in the next few days
-
Really a shame we don't have access to the birth place - it could possibly have helped us ID her without the marriage cert :-\
-
Her birth place seems to be Northwaite, I wonder where she would have been registered?
-
We'll need someone local to tell us - can't even find it on genuki :P
-
Looks like there may be a few:
:
Northwaite, Ponsonby, Seascale, Cumbria CA20, UK
Northwaite, Dent, Sedbergh, Cumbria LA10, UK
Northwaite, Main St, Greenodd, Ulverston, Cumbria LA12, UK
Northwaite, Low Mill, Egremont, Cumbria CA22, UK
Though only 2 with a Lancashire postcode...... was Cumbria ever Lancs?
-
Dates wise there are these 2:
Births Jun 1881
DICKINSON Elizabeth Alice Ormskirk 8b 779
DICKINSON Elizabeth Alice Wigan 8c 124
