All the children of Wiliam and Elizabeth were baptised C of E, including Mary Elizabeth who was baptised at St George a few months after William died at Rockingham St.
The General Cemetery records I have stop at 1891, so if Elizabeth was buried there in 1898 she would not show up.
It may be worth contacting Gen Cem direct by email to see if Elizabeth is there.

Hi Dave

Thanks for advice. Think they charge a fee but will give it a try

David

Just recieved reply back from General Cemetery...they do not have a Elizabeth Ibbotson who died 1898.


I have just noticed an issue regarding the age 57 on Elizabeth's death cert. Her birth certificate reads 2 Dec 1844 and death certificate reads 6 Apr 1898. Doing a date calculation her age at death was 53 yrs 4 months 4 days, therefore wondering if the 7 (57) on the death certificate is a 4. Not sure if that makes any difference in finding her. Regards

Looking through my cd of burials I have not found a burial for an Elizabeth Ibbotson in 1898 so I wonder if her burial for some reason has not been recorded or was she not buried in Sheffield.

Was Elizabeth previously married and if so where was her first husband buried as she could have been there.

Are you 100% sure you have the correct death because there is a burial for an elizabeth Ibbotson in 1892 in Outibridge which states her age at death was 56

Hi John,

Elizabeth was 19 when she married in 1863 at St Georges.A spinster.

She was 48 years old on the 1891 census.

Hi John

The 1892 Elizabeth is definitely not correct, I have seen and have photo of headstone and she is with her husband Joseph Ibbotson

Hi David,

Elizabeth was married to William(1843-1887) and its their burials we are trying to solve.

The photograph you mentioned is it William & Elizabeth?

Williams father was Joseph and his mother was Matilda Hobson.Both buried Church of Ascension Oughtibridge.

Elaine in Ottawa.

Hi Elaine

Yes it is William & Elizabeth we are looking for. The 1892 Elizabeth that John was querying is in The Church of Ascension along with a husband Joseph...wrong Elizabeth.
