1817. Elizabeth Swann was born to John Swann , likely in Warrington . Cannot find a suitable baptism on Ancestry/FMP
1841C. An Elizabeth Swan, 20, servant, was living Carlton Hall, Rothwell . Only possibility found, but this NOT proof, and birth county wrong! Though 1851C states Warrington in Yorkshire!!

1891. Elizabeth Armitage died 3/3/1891 - according to Ancestry tree. Yet 1891C was taken on the 5/4/1891; she is in that , so, seemingly non sensical: I can only assume that the Kirkheaton enumerator actually collected the family data a month early!
Elizabeth Armitage 74, died Wakefield Mar 1891 . Buried in Rothwell on 6/3/1891, her address Robin Hood - image available on Ancestry . Age here correct- that in the 1891C is 3 years out
1891. George Armitage, 77, died 30/4/1891 at Robin Hood, near Lofthouse, Wakefield . Probate of £ 12,870. Executors: James, Abraham & George Armitage, sons
