Susannah Townend born 1834 in Whitkirk in 1851 cenus?
« on: Saturday 09 August 14 06:57 BST (UK) »
Hi, I can't find my gg grandmother in the 1851 census at age 16 or 17. I assume she left her family in Colton area of Whitkirk to work, probably as a domestic servant, closer to Leeds. She married my gg grandfather Samuel Hartley a shoemaker from Chapel Allerton on 26/4/1858 in St Peter's Church, Leeds. The marriage record shows her as a spinster of St John's Court. I think this was off Chapeltown Rd??
In 1851 Samuel, also born 1834 but in Bramhope, was an apprentice living with James Wood, his master, in Chapel Allerton. I don't know where or when Sam and Susannah met.
Can anyone help please, I've tried all permutations of Susie, Suzey, Susan and also Townsend in case the enumerator heard or name wrong and I can't find her anywhere?
Is there anyway to search a census by place?

Hi Rosie99, I am so grateful for your prompt answer to my query. I'm glad Susannah wasn't too far from her family at such a young age. Thanks ever so much! :) Linda
Hi Calverley Lad, I will keep this Susannah a century earlier in mind as a possible forebear as we are having trouble sorting out our Townends. Richard and Ann (Wood) were Susannah's parents. Then there are two separate families of Thomas Townends that could be Richard's father. So thank you for Susannah boorn in 1738. Linda
