Two sisters in 1841/1851 ... possibly 1861

Hello there,

I have the marriage of two sisters of my an ancestor of mine, and I am hoping that someone can see them in thwe 1841/1851 census or beyond (subject to them still being alive)!

The first sister is:

Isabel Ellrington, born 1781 in Slaley, Northumberland, and who married in 1803 in Bywell Saint Peter, Northumberland. She seems to have had children up until 1829 (just before her 50th birthday) in Bywell Saint Peter, Northumberland.

Her children were:

Robert Elrington, born 1804
William born 1806
Absolam born 1809
Isbabella born 1815
Margaret born 1829.

All were born in Bywell Saint Peter, Northumberland

Absolam Ellrington sounds like a fantastic name!

The other sister is Hannah Hay, born 1783 in Slaley, Northumberland and married in 1808 in Bywell Saint Peter, Northumberland. She had children

Mary, born 1809 in Newburn, Northumberland
Margaret Ellen, born 1809 in Newburn, Northumberland
Anne, born 1818 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hello Margaret and Vera!

Thank you for this help! So it seems that Isabella and her family remained in Bywell, Northumberland!

Thank you also for looking into Absolam! It is really interesting to see what happened to all of the family!

I wonder if Hannah Hayes died prior to the census?!

Thank you again
