Eliza Walker

born about 1854 Burslem, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire

1851 Census age 7, scholar

1861 Census age 17, servant

1865, 30 Dec, married Thomas Jones at The Register Office, Wolstanton, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire

1865 living at Hope Street, Tunstall, Stoke on Trent.

1868, 27 May, had first child Sarah at Llanover Upper, Blaenavon, Wales

1871 Census age 26, wife of Thomas Jones living with family at 23 Windmill St. Hanley, Stoke on Trent

1872, 20 Jan, had second child Elizabeth at 23 Windmill St. Hanley, Stoke on Trent

1881 census no longer at that address 23 Windmill St.

The story is Eliza Walker died about or after 1881

However we have got nowhere finding records of her death e.g.
1882 4Q Eliza Jones age 62 v6B 100 = not her
1886 Elizabeth Jones age 30 6B 64 = not her
etc.
Perhaps they had moved away from Wolstanton district before she died

N.B. In 1911 census Thomas Jones stated he had 4 children born but 2 had died
