Biography

Elizabeth married Thomas Fenwick 3 February 1818 at Christ Church, Tynemouth.^[1][2][3]

A beneficiary of The Potts Trust.

In 1841 the family do not appear to be recorded, this is probably a transcription error.

In 1851 an Elizabeth is listed as a widow at Killingworth, Longbenton, Tynemouth, together with four sons and a daughter. Thomas,27, John, 19, George, 14, William, 12 and Sarah 3.^[4]

There are many possible Thomas Fenwick deaths in the right area and timeframe, the most likely is Thomas Fenwick died about May 1849 in Tynemouth, Northumberland. This matches Elizabeth being a widow in 1851 and the youngest child being 3 years old as well as being in the same town.^[5]
