1861 and 1871 look up for Stonehouse Gloucester please
« on: Friday 29 September 17 19:59 BST (UK) »
Please help me find my ancestor.  Her birth was registered in March Q 1861 in Stroud, Gloucester which covers the Stonehouse area..  The name given was Hannah Abia Rodway but no mothers maiden name was given - so its possible she was unmarried.  Census returns after 1881 state consistently she was born in Stonehouse, Gloucester.  Her name changes from Hannah, Anne and Annie - which are obvious changes to the original name of Hannah.  I have found her marriage to Henry Darke - and census returns after 1881.  Interestingly, her  first four children were registered as Darke with the mothers maiden name of Rodway but her  final 7 children were registered as Darke but the mothers maiden name was given as Turk !  The 1911 census suggests a long marriage with Henry Darke - and it ties in with the marriage to Henry Darke.   If anyone has access to 1861 and 1871 census - I would be interested to find out about her birth family.
Many thanks - its puzzling me !

Perhaps Hannah's middle name was from her grandmother.

Many thanks to both of you.  It's possible that its the same family.   At least it gives me something to work on !

ACT61 (good find).

Aha! I noticed that daughter Mary was supposed to be 9 on the 1851 but 10 on the 1861 census. Does not compute! The image on 61 is not easy to make out but looks more like 16/18? Would someone else like to take a look please?

Well that would fit nicely wouldn't it? I wonder who the scoundrel was that led her astray?!  :-X
