Ellen Cooper STUBBS died 14 April 1851, aged 27, at No. 2 Court, Llanwrst Street, Toxteth - wife of Charles STUBBS a shipwright.

In 1851 census she is listed as being born in Malpas, Cheshire, aged 29 and living at House 7, Court 7, Llanwrst Street, Toxteth.

She married Charles on 12 July 1843 at St Bride's Church, Liverpool - as the daughter of William WINDSOR, a farmer.

Speculating her location in 1841 as "Eleanor Windsor" at 55 Hope Street, Liverpool, aged 17, "F.S." not born in county.

Found a baptism record of an Ellen Cowper WINDSOR born 24 Dec 1823 at Tushingham, bapt 08 April 1829 at Malpas, daughter of William and Mary.

So is she likely have been taken to her place of birth for burial (a family plot) or would she have been buried as quickly as possible in a local churchyard?

Many thanks!

She might have been buried at St James' Cemetery. There was an incomplete online database containing about 14, 000 entries which was made available for download. I have a copy of these records but there's no sign of Ellen in the records. She could still be buried there as there was about 58, 000 burials in total at St James' Cemetery.

Second time this Cemetery has been mentioned to me today in connection with a search for a burial. Unfortunately I didn't have time to check but I do suspect that the Burial Register, which will be held at the Record Office, may have an alphabetical index per year, which would make it easier to look up - please don't shoot me if I'm wrong.

The only thing I can be certain of is that IF she was buried at St James, then there was no headstone as she isn't listed in Gibsons Epitaphs.

thanks for the info - as soon as I recover from my sick bed I think I need to book a fortnight at the Record Offices LOL
