Hi Stewart

I think that if we try and follow the two sisters ...Elizabeth and Mary A we might find something . What bothers me is that in 1851 Mary A , 2years old , is transcribed before Elizabeth  who is 10 ... usually the eldest is transcribed first ...so is Elizabeth 10 or 10 months? .... if she is in fact 10, who does she belong to ...    Did Mary A snr marry abt 1840 to one of the Wolfendale brothers or is Elizabeth  a child from a previous marriage .

Mary A snr was 25 in 1851 .....  so she would have been 15 when Elizabeth was born...I tend to think that Elizabeth was 10 months in 1851...but then again who knows   

In 1851:
Fore street, stonehouse
Mary A Wolfendale is head, mar 25  (mother of Minnie in 1881 census)
Mary dau 2
Elizabeth dau 10... this is strange as she should have been emunerated first because of age ... also Mary A, mum, would have been 15 when she was born .... )

I hope I am making sense ... and not confusing the issue

i can't see a birth for Elizabeth Wolfendale 1849-1850 all qtrs , fullBMD 

so perhaps she was 10 years

i couldnt check Qtr 1, 3  or 4 1841 for some reason but i checked all other qtrs 1839-1840 & qtr 2 1841 i couldnt see Elizabeth on those either.

Just an update to those that gave me so much help regarding this particular thread and particularly who Minnie's father was. Having sent of for her birth certificate it appears that she was born out of wedlock to a man called Ernest Martin, a spirit merchants clerk. As for Minnie's mother I've posted another thread to try and sort that one out but it seems she may have been the daughter of her sister???
