  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      She married at St Cuthbert in Carlisle, suggesting that was where her family was based. Given the marriage was in 1751, she was probably born some time between 1711 and 1735. The two most likely candidates are:

      1. b. 1723 in Carlisle, bapt. 16 Dec 1723 to Robert Railton (making her 28 when she married)
      2. b. 1734 in Carlisle, bapt. 23 Sep 1734 at Carlisle St Mary, to William Railton (making her 16 when she married)

      Ancestry trees have her born 1732 at St Cuthbert, but I can't find any actual baptismal record for this date, so it might just be a typo (1723->1732).

      Death
      Her husband Henry is mentioned in the burial record - does this mean he was still alive?
