Re: Thornton/wyatt

Sue, suggestions.........

Use Family Search for Eliza possible birth around 1811. Unfortunately we do not have the baptisms for that time period. Another project.

Have you found her on a census that would give you some idea of her age. If you look at our 1841 census index over to the left you will find them both there. Dont forget the ages may have been rounded down.
Burial would be another idea of her birth.

There is only one baptism in Sheffield for Eliza Cartwright born between 1809 and 1811. That is in 1811 at the parish church, mother Alathea Cartwright, spinster.
Note that GRO index has Alethea Thornton b 1849 Sheffield, mmn CartWright.

Re: Thornton/wyatt

Yes you are correct, I think her mother was Alethea Cartwright, no father mentioned.

Hi Sue

Image of the marriage record has been sent

Re: Thornton/wyatt

Alethea went on to marry a cutler called Joseph Sheldon.
In the 1841 census they're on Green St - FMP have transcribed her as Habatha, and she was aged 47.

BTW their son Austin Sheldon married my gt-gt grandpa's sister.
Small world!
