Notes - Wintringham register has baptism on 03/04/1785. This makes marriage in 1802 problematical unless birth was somewhat earlier.
According to the Wintringham register, the same Elizabeth Wilson was buried on 20/03/1790 at Wintringham so there is obviously some mystery here.
In the 1841 census she is Elizabeth Coulson and living with her father. This suggests that she was widowed at this time. Her husband may have been Robert Coulson (IGI).
In the 1851 census she is Elizabeth Wilson (a widow) but as her father, John Wilson, is also listed, she cannot have been called Wilson and be a widow. This name then is probably an error.
In the 1861 census she is Elizabeth Harwood (married). Harwood was apparently her mother's name. She may have remarried someone called Harwood sometime after the 1841 census or alternatively have given her mother's name for some reason. If she had remarried it is not clear whether she was actually widowed or not at this time.
The fact that the 1861 census refers to her as 'the owner of houses ' suggests that she may well have remarried and acquired property. It is also significant that her grandson, William Upton Lester was a farmer in the same area of Suffolk in 1861.The fact that her daughter and son in law were living with her in both 1851 and 1861 suggests that they were dependent on her.
The 1851 and 1861 censuses say, between them, that she was born at Wintringham near Malton, Yorkshire, which establishes a definite connection with the Wilsons of Wintringham.
Death 27 April 1864 at Bottisford, Suffolk, aged 79 (widow of Thomas Harold Harwood, farmer) is not her.
Death certificate is for Elizabeth Coulson.
