I know it's not much help with Elizabeth's birthplace, but is this the family on the 1841 census?

Whickam, Durham

Joseph Coupetain   35  Ag Lab
Elizabeth "   "          25
William  " "                5
Joseph  "  "                3
Jane   "  "                   9 months

They are living at Low ??  I can't make it out.

I've looked at all kinds of maps and genuk etc, but can't find anything that even resembles Attrick/Uttrick.  Could she have been saying Hesketh maybe, and was heard wrongly?

Hi

Not sure if I'm confused here but Whickham, Durham is nowhere near the the A69 between Brampton and Greenhead.

Whickham is just to the West of Gateshead  :-\

Just had a look on the census image. It's Low Team - now the Team Valley area :)

Low Team, Dunstan, Whickham, Durham

Could the original queried place be Orton Rigg, SW of Carlisle?

Sorry, my fault :)

I didn't make myself clear.  On the 1841 census, they are actually living at Whickam, Durham.  So the Low ??? would be in Durham, not near Wetheral.

I think you probably have it there Gadget.  Orton Rigg, said with a Cumbrian accent to a Durham person could have sounded like 'Attrick/Uttrick'.
