Hello,
Could you help me locate the whereabouts of Elizabeth?
She was born in Leeds 1816 to James Parkin & Mary Higham, she has 1 sister Rebecca b1818 & 1 brother John b 1821.
She is on the 1841 census living with her parents, her brother John 1821, John's wife Elizabeth b 1826, Charles Rose (mystery) b 1838 Edwin & Charles Parkin b 1840/1841 (these are mostly likely to be Elizabeths illegitimate children) & i can't quite make out the last child.. Alfred Holt?? (yet another mystery)
After this she vanishes, can't find birth registers for Edwin & Charles either! ???

James Parken 60 lab
Mary 50
Elizabeth 25
John 20 cloth draper
Elizabeth 15
Charles Rose 3
Edwin Parkin 1
Charles Parkin 4mths
Alfred Holt 1

Here is the household in 1851
Pearl Row, Leeds
Mary Parkin 57 widow lodging house keeper bn Lancaster
John 30 widower bricklayers lab bn leeds
Edwin Parkin 11 grandson bn Leeds
Charles Parkin 9 grandson bn Leeds
Emma Parkin 6 granddtr bn Leeds
Alfred Parkin 2 grandson bn Leeds
couple of lodgers
Are the children not thise of John and his late wife?
modifed to add - answering my own question - no, because in 1861 John has remarried, still living ni Pearl Row, has the children from Emma downwards there with him,but also Charles is there as Nephew!

Thank you, it's a confusing family! I just can not find elizabeth anywhere!

Assuming that I've got the right birth registrations:
Emma - 1844 - Leeds - mmn = Hall
Alfred - 1848 - Leeds - mmn = Hall
Marriage: Leeds - 1840 - John Parkin and Elizabeth Hall appear on the same page. Marriage at St Peter, 25 December 1840:
John Parkin, fa, Cloth dresser of Woodhouse. Father: James, Labourer
Elizabeth Hall (x), fa, of Woodhouse. Father: William, Cloth Dresser

Yes this is Elizabeth's brother, His wife later dies & he remarries. All children of the family except Edwin & Charles (whom i think were Elizabeth Parkin(sister) were registered.
