Great Great Grandmothers name
« on: Sunday 28 January 18 18:50 GMT (UK) »
Can somebody please help with name of a great great grandmother as shown in the 1851 census.
My great great grandfather is shown as William Henry Clark. The line under him is for his wife it cannot be read as the letters do not make a sensible name. The third line is his son also called William.

I have attached an image of the census writing.

Anybody's help would be greatly appreciated.

Name looks like Alfrede  :-\ and name above is William H. Clark (not William Henry Clark)
Can you give reference to the census record please.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

William H. Clark was bc.1818 Maidstone and in 1861 he's in Newington with wife correctly shown as Ann.

MARRIAGE, Familysearch.Org;
17 March 1845, Minster in Sheppey, Kent
William Henry CLARK, Father HENRY CARL Clark
Ann BEAVERSTOCK, Father WM Beaverstock

ANN Beverstock christened 20 March 1825 Chatham to WILLIAM/MARY
(F/S.Org)

1841 Census
Chatham, Kent
William Beverstock, 50, Ropemaker
Eliza Beverstock, 40
ANN Beverstock, 16
Eliza Beverstock, 13
Mary Beverstock, 10
Francis Beverstock, 7
Robert Beverstock, 3

Now 1825 Christening has MARY as Mother of ANN

William may have married 2 Hix/Hicks women.

30 June 1818, Saint Margaret, Rochester, Kent, to MARY Hix

William 1821
Robert Thomas 1823, buried 26 April 1823

Eanfrith, Anfrith, Alfrede or Elfrede = Ælfthryth

Ann (Ean) for short or Freda (alternate pronounced Fred or Freddie [Fred-de]- spelt Fredd or Frede)

In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth
