Notes about Elizabeth Wilson

1. Elizabeth was born 17 September, 1830 at Roy Yards, Airdrie, (Rawyards) However, her birth was registered at Beath, dated 17 September, 1830 (See marriage register for James Ritchie and Elizabeth Wilson, 22 November, 1855)

2. (see note 3) No death record can yet be found for Elizabeth Wilson or Ritchie on Scotlands people. She cannot be found in the 1861 census, with the rest of her family. Her daughter, Mary, b 1859, cannot be found, either. However, her Mother, Margaret Shepherd, and her Grandmother, Elizabeth Strang, are living in the same house (Norton 2) as her husband, and family, 1861 census.
Has she died and the death never been registered?

3. On 13 May 2020 I found Elizabeth's death record. The Woodend where Elizabeth died is likely to be Woodend, Gask, rather than Woodend, Cowdenbeath, as her family in the 1861 Census are living in Norton, just along the road.
On the same day, I also find Mary's death also in 1860 also died Woodend.
