Seeking details for a Elizabeth Lowe

c1807-1856 married John Ratcliffe - 1809-1869

Thanks

is this not the same as yesterdays thread where we proved from the maiden name of John, Fred & Ellen's mother on lancsbmd was Lowe (not Knowles) and the marriage details between John Ratcliffe & Elizabeth Lowe were given you from lan-opc along with the birth years of another 2 children

If this is not correct then that 1851 census is probably not your family

They were all registered in North Meols where many of you other queries come from

If you could view the marriage record, it may just give Elizabeth's father's name.

Looks good if they had a son John in 1809

OK
So this is possibly his parents marriage:-

WILLIAM RATCLIFFE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 05 FEB 1800 Cathedral, Manchester, Lancashire, England
Spouse: ELLEN ALDCROFT

......thought his mother's maiden name might have been Robinson, never mind!

John Ratcliffe c1809 Manchester was son of
William Ratcliffe and Ellen

Possible?

Have you tried Family Search site

Please may i ask for your expert help in finding my direct ancestor Elizabeth Knowles. She was born c 1807 and appears of died 1856 having married a John Ratcliffe some time around 1829 when the first child was born. I believe from one of the census she was born Worthington, Cheshire, England.

Thank you
