Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Enquiry about Millers & Campbells of Northumberland

Thanks so much for this Mulberry Rose, this is great that you have found out a bit more to the continuing story.
Yes, I was aware of the marriage to John Morrison of what may have been this Ellen. I looked the marriage up and I think I posted the details on here somewhere pre covid.
I did not know of the death year of Tibby though, I wonder if she was buried at St Mary the Virgin Morpeth as our mutual blood line ancestor Mary Conroy was? I know son Edward Conroy was buried there as well. Just as an aside I wonder if Edward’s brother and your ancestor Joseph Conroy was buried there, too? Or is his burial still unknown?
That is sad to hear that Tibby ended her days in the Poor house. What a hard life she must have had, seemingly bringing up a family on her own (partner Michael doesn’t seem to have been around much) and losing her son Michael for good when he was sent to Australia. That is sad too that she lost her daughter Sarah at such a young age.
I didn’t know that Tibby had an alias as an Elizabeth. I think I recall that she had an older daughter too and I think the daughter may have been called Elizabeth. I would have to recheck.
I wonder if Jane really did marry a Best or if she just pretended to be a married woman? I wonder if Jane had a sad end too, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Thanks again, I really appreciate all your help.
Added: This is what I found re Ellen Anderson’s marriage:
Ellen Allen marriage to John Morrison
22 August 1857, St Nicholas, Newcastle
She was recorded as 'a hawker' but then a line was crossed over these words.
Her father was recorded as Michael Allen - a hawker
Her husband John was a cartman and his Father Robert was also recorded as a cartman.
Their witnesses were William Watson and Isabella Kelly.
