Hello Folks, I hope some kind person can help me with my Brick Wall! Elizabeth WICKSON b 30 August 1832 Abingdon Berkshire parents Elizabeth and Joseph WICKSON.(Non Conformist records). She married William SMITH 25th August 1856.in Haseley Oxford On the 1841C she was residing with Gabriel and Sophia BILLING in the civil parish of Great Haseley Oxfordshire. On the 1851C she was still living with the above and this time she was described as Daughter in Law. She was not a Daughter in Law in the modern sense! so therefore does this mean that she was adopted? because I could not find any records of her parents. Kind Regards Graham

The 1841 census says Elizabeth was born in county - but Abingdon was the county town of Berkshire at the time, & definitely not part of Oxfordshire. It could be that she's in the nonconformist register there just because it was the nearest congregation her parents liked, not because she was born there. Where does the 1851 census say she was born? That could help track down her parents.
