I wonder if someone could help to sort out a bit of a mess I think I have made in my tree.
My husband's G Grandfather was Consitt Elliott born Sunderland 1856 - 1941. His parents were Philip Elliott born 1832 Cothetston Yorkshire and Isabella ? born 1828 in Sunderland.
Isabella is the problem. She married Philip in 1853 using the surname Lee, she has two children with the surname Lee in the 1861 census Lydia Hannah Lee 1849 born Sunderland and Isabella Consitt Lee born 1852 in Sunderland, they are both listed as stepchildren.
I haven't been able to find Isabella on the 1851 with her children.
I am trying to find out what her maiden name was. I thought that it may have been Gordon as there is an Isabella Gordon marrying a Thomas Lee.
BUT there is a tree on Ancestry that has her surname as Consitt, this makes sense but I can't seem to find an Isabella Consitt. Also some of the info on this tree in incorrect so I don't know what is true and what has been made to fit.
Can somebody help in sorting the wood from the trees.
I have to get the children from school, so i'll be back soon.
