The Family of Charlotte Ellerbeck (1807 – 1846?) of Tadcaster

Charlotte Ellerbeck was born 27 August 1807 and baptised 5 June 1808 at Tadcaster, a daughter of Thomas Ellerbeck of Tadcaster, shoemaker, son of Richard Ellerbeck of Toulston (sic) in the parish of Newton Kyme, farmer; by Elizabeth, daughter of Ralph Dalton of York, shoemaker by Ann, daughter of – Blackburn of Church Garforth, collier.

 

She was not in the 1851 census of Tadcaster.

 

(There is a death for a Charlotte registered in the September quarter 1846 in the Tadcaster district.  She was buried at Tadcaster 1 September 1846 aged 59, so this cannot be her, unless there is a mistake in her age but both the register and the Bishop’s Transcript both state 59. In reality she would have been 39, so perhaps a figure 3 was confused for a 5.  In 1851 all her children are in the census, each at a different location which further suggests that Charlotte had died.) 

 

Her children were:

Thomas Ellerbeck (1829 – 1905), baptised at Tadcaster 6 December 1829. 

In 1841, he was living with his uncle, aunt and mother, aged 11.
