___________________

She said she was of full age at marriage in 1847, so she was then 21 or more.  So she was born in 1826 or earlier and the birth of around December 1825 fits nicely with this and with the fact that at marriage she gave her residence as Cheetham and her father as Edward.  IN the 1851 census she said she was 26 and born in Manchester, lancs.
