I have been making the most of the last few days of my Ancestry sub by checking Thrulines to see if I could take any lines back further. I was looking at Elizabeth Stafford c1796, who I have in 1841 in Milton Gravesend Kent, with husband Thomas Levy c1789 and daughter Elizabeth c1821. Thrulines suggested her parents were James Stafford and Hannah Trowell baptised in Chatham in 1883. Elizabeth and Thomas married in 1811, so I would imagine a birth date of 1783 might be more likely than 1796. The trees I am looking at today seem very different from the ones I saw yesterday but there were definitely some that had this information.
As I was looking at the different records, I noticed a burial for Elizabeth Levy in 1849 in Milton, which is the date I had for her dying, however this person was 26. I checked the record on CityArk which confirmed the age as 26, suggesting that the death was of Elizabeth junior, although she would have been 27 not 26.
In 1851, Thomas is living in Milton as a widower, despite Ancestry transcribing his visitor as his wife, so what happened to Elizabeth senior? I can't find another death for her or anything to suggest that Elizabeth junior didn't die.
