Northumberland Look up please.

Thanks for that Christine. I think you may be right about the presbyterian bit. Do you have anything on my Great great grandmother Elizabeth Lisle also born in Ancroft in 1830. She has the same name as my great grandmother and had another child James Lisle born in Ancroft 1854. It looks like she had these children out of wedlock.

Thanks

Hi Sue,

Sorry, I'm not spotting the surname Lisle showing up in Ancroft C of E records at all.

What other information do you have on this family?

Christine

Hi Christine,

Thanks for looking. I will carry on investigations and let you know if I find anything.

Kind regards

Hi Sue,

I've now found Agnes and James - they are in Ancroft, just not in the years expected.

I found them in the extracted records on IGI first but you can see the actual bishop's transcript here

James is on image 30 and Agnes on image 40

I am so grateful to you Christine. My great great grandmother was married after all: I just have to find her maiden name now to continue. Do you live in the north east? My grandmother met my grandfather in Durham whilst they were both in service and moved to Newport, South Wales where my grandfather was born to get married. I now live in Buckingham but would dearly like to visit Ancroft sometime to see where my ancestors lived. Thank you once again for all your help.

Kind Regards

Sue

Hi sue

I have found a possible marriage for William and Elizabeth.

Parish of Kyloe  10th May 1849

William Lisle, father John to Elizabeth Wilson, father George

It is, of course, not guaranteed but Kyloe is only 4 miles from Ancroft - neighbouring parish.  It is only a transcription and there is no other source online that I can find.  There is also no other suitable marriage in the area.

I've been trying to find this couple on 1851 and 1861 to no avail - goodness knows how they've been transcribed as I've tried every which way to locate every single one of them 

Yes, I am in Northumberland - down in the southern part.  Ancroft is way up north and in a very beautiful area - lots of pretty villages.  You can find info on the place here:

Hi Christine,

I really do appreciate all your help with this. I have found Elizabeth Lisle in the 1861 census as being widowed with two small children: James and Agnes ( my maternal ancestor), still living in Main Street. Like yourself I can find no record of them in the 1851 census: I have tried all kind of spellings to no avail. Goodness knows how they were transcribed! If I ever find it I will let you know. It is really uncanny that she may have been Elizabeth Wilson as that is my maiden name. Those Wilsons came from Manchester though so I don't have to worry about being inbred! Anyway thanks again for everything.

Kind regards

Sue

Hello Sue,
I was intrigued to see that we share some ancestors in common.

Elizabeth Lisle was  married to my g g grandfather, William Lisle. After years of search I found this marriage as a irregular marriage at Starch House Toll.
They do not appear on the 1851 census because they didn't marry until 1852. William was a widowerer.
If you want to know more, do reply.
Best wishes
