Hi nannyj
Here is the run down of my 2X Great Grandmother copied from a post I did on the Middlesex board
My 2X G Grandmother was, when she married, Susannah Marie Thompson
She married December 25 1875 to Frederick Woodage in Bethnal Green
She lists her age as full and her father as John Thompson Weaver
Her residence at that time was 17 Canrobert Street, Bethnal Green
1881 Census in Bethnal Green - she is Susan Woodage born Rotherhithe age 25
1891 Census in Mile End - she is Susan Marie Woodage born Bethnal Green age 36
1901 Census in Bethnal Green -she is Susan Woodage born Lambeth age 44
She died in 1911(in the Lynatic Asylum) and on her death certificate she is Mary Susan Woodage age 56.
Her 'in memory' card, from her family, says her name is Martha Susan Woodage
On the birth certificate of her daughter Emily (my G Grandmother)
She is listed as Susan Woodage formerly Thompson
On baptisms for other children she is:
Susanah Marie, Susan, Susan Marie
Marriages for two of her daughters (here in Canada) they list their mother as:
Martha Susan Thompson & Susan M Thompson respectfully.
However the problem is I can only find a "Mary Thompson" on the 1871 census with parents John Thompson weaver, and wife Mary. They are living on Canrobert Street and so this is the first connection to the Susannah Marie who marries 4 year later. I have had to assume this Mary is one and same woman to Susan given the obvious 'John Thompson weaver' and address. As there has been no 'Susan Thompson' on the 1861 that fit.
However going back to the 1861 census even where Mary Thompson and her parents are on the 1861 census is any ones guess.
And I have never found a baptism for "Susannah Marie Thompson" or a marriage for her parents.
I followed that John Thompson and Mary who appear in 1871 Census and that is the same John Thompson in the Weaver's Almhouses.
