Find Ancestors

I have just found that my 2xgreat grandfather had an older sister Elizabeth Hesse b1815, Bishopsgate, London.

In 1841 she is described as a servant. In 1851 she is living with her brother, Benjamin Hesse, at 5, West Street, Hackney.

I cannot find her after that in any census, or even marriage/death records.

Can anyony please help?

Thanks,

Marcus

Was her father Benjamin Hesse, a cabinet maker

There is a marriage for an Eliabeth Hesse on 25/12/1854 at Hoxton St John, one of the witnesses was a Benjamin Hesse

Chrissie

Yes, that'll be her. The father is Benjamin, a cabinet maker.

Who did she marry?

Marcus

There's also another marriage in 1862 but I think that 1854 one looks the better option.
