Please I cannot trace Elizabeth Greenhill born Rolvenden 1836 Father Alfred mother Rachel Exall. Mother died 1845 father buzzed off to France. Boys Alfred, Joseph and John went into workhouse (did well later) Mary 1834 went to father`s married sister Elizabeth Elliot and young Elizabeth went as a servant to the Howard family (curriers in Tenterden). Later Mary went as a.ladies maid and died a spinster in 1917 in East Grinstead.(Wesleyan on her gravestone) I can find no trace of ELIZABETH after 1851 census age 15 with the Howard family in Tenterden. Any ideas folks? |

Could this be her in Scotland in 1871? She's a hospital matron. |

There is however a 90 year old Elizabeth Greenhill in Ashford in the 1861 census so the death could be her i.e.. the 90 year old not the Elizabeth you are looking for .............. and so it is - Kent Burials Transcription |

You'll need Scotlands People, which is a pay-to-view site |

A tree on Ancestry says that that's her, a hospital matron in Scotland but I have my doubts. Surely a hospital matron would have been a nurse for years before becoming a matron? |

Well, well, well! The one in Edinburgh is indeed your Elizabeth! I had some credits for Scotlandspeople so I'll try to send you her death registration by PM. |

For the benefit of the other helpers, Elizabeth died 28 January 1873. The names of her parents, including her mother's maiden surname are correct on the death registration. Her occupation is given as Matron of Sick Children's Hospital, Edinburgh. That was also her address at time of death. The informant was a Hospital Sister not a family member. |

No problem Prickles. There were only 3 deaths for the correct age +/- 3 years and only one of them was in Edinburgh. And my curiosity was getting the better of me lol. |

That's great, rootgatherer! So good of you! So much for my theory that it couldn't be her. I've been known to be wrong before, once ot twice. |
