Has anyone found a death for Lisetta please?

Was she a prisoner in Staffordshire in 1901? If so - she and Absolom would have something in common from their backgrounds!!

 I can't find HER death though - as I was wondering if the location may assist with finding Absolom's death with more certainty.

(It would be boring if it went smoothly!)

Places of interest;
Lancashire, West Yorkshire, Southern Ireland, Scotland.

Only a thought BUT - marriage in 1906 -

Absalom says that he is a BACHELOR!!!!

that is another investigation pending. there are a number of entries that are similar, the name being very rare (hence the confusion with Charlotte)- charlottes father was harper, a different family - proven.
I have six Absalom harpers married  between 1872 and 1903, one could be a mis-spell. I am suspecting bigamy.

Looking back at notes Greenhalgh is confirmed. (I am just having a tidy up).

On 1851/1861 census records at least - he was born 'Horwich' and did have a father, Isaac.

In 1868 it looks as though he was summoned for trespassing in pursuit of game, he had a gun with him.

Sorry, that is not helping with finding him or Lisette after 1915
