Do you have the name of her siblings please - if she did not marry she may have gone to live with one of them.
Regards, Liz

Hi Liz the age ties in and the job probably too,although the places of birth are quite far apart.

Hi again,I am probably clutching at straws here...the sister of Elizabeth Williams.Maria, was married on 20th Oct 1871 and one of the witnesses was an Elizabeth Harrison.The other witness was George Harrison.My thoughts are could Elizabeth Williams have married George Harrison at a date after the census of 1871 and before 20th Oct 1871.Long shot I know but can anyone help?
Regards roy.

Just to check, have you searched for possible contacts for this family on here, using "search trees" above?
I sympathise, I have Williams's too, what a nightmare they can be! God bless the Welsh.

Roy, this might be too difficult with such a very common name. Have looked for all Elizabeths born Shropshire living in Yorkshire but none stand out. She might have gone anywhere.
