1865 Vagrancey at Darby received 14 days
1856 Vagrancey at Wakefield 


This was the last record I found for her, I assume she must of died, when is unknown. I tried searching all the last names for her and found very little, without knowing for sure what her maiden was it's hard to track her and I never found a husband or son.


These early records are a gem to find for your naughty ancestor. Maybe someday someone will find her tree I made on Ancestor and they may night shed new light on Elizabeth's life.
