Northumberland / Any Blyth Hudson families?
« on: Sunday 25 August 19 16:20 BST (UK) »
I 'm a little perplexed with a 'Hudson' connection to my Blyth ancestors.
In the 1871 census there is an 'Emma Maria Hudson' aged 1 classed as a lodger living with my 3 x Great Grandparents in Ridley Street Blyth. By the 1881 census she is classed as 'adopted daughter'. In both census returns her birthplace is given as Lysden Farm, Blyth.
In the GRO records there is no surname given for the mother so I assume her mother was a Hudson. After the 1881 census I can find no more records for Emma Maria Hudson (or searching under Dixon which was the name of my 3 x greatgrandparents)
I'm intruiged by this girl, as to who she was and who were her family. There is a family story of my Great Grandmother (Granddaughter to my 3 x Great Grandparents) finding an abandoned baby In some offices she was cleaning and the child being adopted into the family. However I've never found any evidence of a child being adopted into this generation. However my Great Grandmothers mother was living with her parents as a 12 year old when the child is first listed as living with the family. I'm wondering if it could be this generation where the 'abandoned ' baby was adopted by the family. This seems more probable especially as my 2 x Great Grandmother went on to name my Great Grandmother Emma the first Emma in the family.
If anyone has any Hudson connections to Blyth are they able to shed any light on who Emma Maria Hudson was?
