My great, great grandmother Elizabeth Nickless was born q2 1840 in Hinwood, Pontesbury, Shropshire (Atcham district) to John & Ann (nee Pritchard.) I have her on the 1851 census, but then she seems to disappear. I found a possible entry on the 1861 census as a servant to a family called Williams, but it states her age as 25, which is at least 3 years too old for my Elizabeth. On 2 Nov 1866 she gave birth to William in Hinwood and, as there is no father shown on the cert, my belief is that William was illegitimate. I can find no trace of Elizabeth after this, despite searching on variations of her surname, which was frequently misspelt.
As you've all been so helpful in the past, I thought see if you could oblige again!
