X00378 Elizabeth Rothwell after 1871 (continued)

Continuing on from a previous post about X00378 - Elizabeth Rothwell after 1871 and a discovery made while researching X00384: William Charles Taylor after 1881.

To recap: Elizabeth Rothwell is the daughter of Henry Rothwell and Alice Hacking, born 16 July 1846. I have found her in various census records up to and including 1871, but nothing beyond that. There was a marriage record that I was investigating, but nothing definite.

While researching William Charles Taylor, I found William in this 1891 census record living with his Aunt and Uncle. William and Elizabeth Brown

Elizabeth Rothwell would have been his aunt, and the age of Elizabeth Brown matches. Could Elizabeth Brown be Elizabeth Rothwell? I have been looking for a marriage record for an Elizabeth Rothwell and a William Brown, but have not found anything definite at this point.

X00378 Elizabeth Rothwell after 1871

Elizabeth Rothwell is the sixth daughter of Henry Rothwell and Alice Hacking. She was born 16 July 1846 in Blackburn, Lancashire. Census records have her living with the family all the way through to the 1871 census but I have not faound her in any records in Blackburn beyond that date.

I did then start looking farther out and found this marriage record:

It has an Elizabeth Rothwell marrying a William Sutton on 6 May 1876 in Eccles, Lancashire. Unfortunately the marriage record does not give an age or profession, so I can't verify that information. As well, the location isn't where I would expect it to be in Eccles, Lancashire.

The one positive as far as the connections ithe information about the father - the father is named Henry Rothwell and his profession is a cart driver. So that and the name Elizabeth Rothwell match.

So, it's a possibility that this is the correct Elizabeth Rothwell in the marriage record, but there's not a lot to go on. I'm going to treat it as a hypothesis to see if there are any other records that I might find to either prove or disprove the hypothesis.
