Mary Elizabeth Heys 1762 Lancashire died 1824. I have looked on the IGI and lancs opc for possible baptism in the hopes of establishing who her parents are. Thanks

If it isn't on either of those sites, you'll need to visit the Records Office.

I assume she didn't marry?

Wrong info on tree

Source cited :
Name: Mary Elizabeth Heys
Burial Date: 29 Jun 1870
Burial Parish: Haslingden

Tree owner not paying much attention to surname. !!!

Death would be under name of HOLT not Heys

Copying from Ancestry is fraught with danger.

And the OP on here said the woman died in 1824!
