Hi Jenny

Elizabeth Ridge - widow age 58 - was on Tom Cross Lane in 1861, with Jane, George, Joe and a lodger called George Harris. John Harris is on the next page at 3 Tom Cross Lane, together with his first wife Elizabeth

lost the edit function... the above marriage for Jane.. it did not say Joseph was deceased but we know they did not have to state this.

Heather, was that indexed under Ridge ot mistranscribed?

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I knew I could count on someone from this site finding the family in 1861. I'm sure I looked for Elizabeth but nothing came up????

I had already got Jane's marriage in 1868 so I'll look into Joseph's death now.

Thanks again

Jenny

Interesting find....

John Harris's first wife was Elizabeth Ridge, Jane's older sister.

Hi John

I don't know how it was indexed, I couldn't find Jane at first either.
I noticed that when Jane married John Harris they were both living on the same street, so I looked for him. The keyword "cab" brought nothing up, but when I used "coachman" he came up straight away. Then I just walked up and down the street a bit and they they were.

Curiosity got the better of me so I've just checked.
FMP had transcribed her as Jane KIDGER

Not been able to find Elizabeth Ridge (b 1805) death yet, did she remarry after the 1861 census?

found I think died 1884 aged 80 buried in Burngreave cemetery, lots of people in the grave I wonder if they are all related. I used Elizabeth harris in the search box.

she died 1867 aged 34 (would that be right?)

Her burial is on this site .She died 1884 and is buried with HARRIS family in Burngreave Cemetery.

Just seen your reply John. You beat me to it. The Elizabeth you are referring to is John Harris's first wife.
