Elizabeth Jump

Events

Date of Birth: about 1779.

Place of Birth: Lancashire, England.

The 1851 census (taken 30 March) gives her age as 72. It gives the place, apparently, as “Leigath”, which does not seem to exist. I haven’t managed to come up with a plausible alternative interpretation of the handwriting. Perhaps "Leigh" or "Leagate" was meant.

Date of Baptism: unknown.

Place of Baptism: unknown.

Date of Death: 1854.

Place of Death: Prescot registration district.

The GRO index gives the death (2nd quarter, age 75).

Relationships

Father: unknown.

Mother: unknown.

Spouse: William Swift. Married 28 April 1806 in Prescot, Lancashire (St Mary the Virgin).

This marriage is given in the parish register.

Children:

(These relationships are inferred from censuses. Baptisms have not yet been found -- the family was probably Catholic.)

Ann Mary Swift (born about 1806 in Eccleston, Lancashire) married Rodger Eccleston 12 December 1824 in Rainford, Lancashire.

Ellen Swift (born about 1810 in Eccleston, Lancashire).

Thomas Swift (born about 1815 - 1817 in Lancashire).

Henry Swift (born about 1818 in Eccleston, Lancashire).

Peter Swift (born about 1820 - 1826 in Lancashire).
