Origins

The assignment of Elizabeth to this family is somewhat speculative, as it would require that the baptism index mis-recorded her mother's name. However, there are no other baptism records for parents "Francis & Elizabeth" in Whitby; Francis's occupation (joiner) matches that of Francis & Mary; Francis & Mary's previous child, Mary, was also recorded as being born in "Poor"; it would make sense for Francis & Mary to have named a daughter after their first, who died infancy; and the timing is right for a sequence of children to Francis & Mary. Confirmation will require mention of the parents in Elizabeth's marriage or burial records, or mention of Elizabeth in Francis's will.
