COMMENTS

Her tombstone inscription in Carlisle cemetery, visited 5 Mar 2002, reads: "In loving memory of Elizabeth, beloved wife of William Gilbertson, who died at 6, Millholme Terrace 14 April 1919 aged 45 years and of William Gilbertson who died at 8, Manor Road 16 June 1949 aged 76 years also their daughter Sarah 1895 - 1982".

There was an influenza epedemic in 1919 which killed many people nationwide.

There are inconsistencies in the ages quoted on her Marriage and Death Certificates. Born on 23 April 1872, she would have been 22 when she married on 7 July 1894 and 46 when she died on 14 April 1919.

* The enumerator of this part of the 1891 census omitted one house in Dalston Street, thought to be number 7, which was subsequently added on a later page as number 9. The Marriage Certificate of Alexander's daughter Elizabeth Park /Gilbertson quite distinctly gives her address as 7, Dalston Street. The presumption is that the Census enumerator confused the number of the house which had been omitted from the original survey and inserted later. Substantiation should come from other events in Alexander's life.

Several photographs are available of St. James Church; 7, Dalston Street and her grave. A map showing 6, Millholme Terrace is also available
