Hi.
Curious about this one. Elizabeth Barrow married Thomas Smith in 1869, Wigan.
They had 3 children Hannah, Ellen, Maria.
She is Betsy in census of 1871 and 1881 and 1901 (she is a widow by then) and 1911.
I just cannot find them in 1891....
Her place of birth is Golborne in these census around 1848. His is Rainford a year earlier. Ellen is always with her.
I have tried all manner of combinations - hard to mistranscribe Smith....
Phil
Thank you
-
Can you include childrens birthyears and birthplaces - particularly Ellen's
Where were they living in 1881
-
Sorry. In 1871 Hannah is 1. 1881 Hannah 11 Ellen 5 Maria 2.
1881 they are living 46 Charles Street, Golborne.
1901 they are living at 8 Bridge Street, Golborne. Hannah and Maria have married by then but at the property.

1881 - 46 CHURCH Street - RG11/3801 f9 p11

Have you got Thomas's death?
In 1893 when Hannah marries, it doesn't say deceased for Thomas.
-
In 1891 there is a Smith family at Church Street, Golborne
Mary
Thomas
Patrick
Rosanna
Michael
Bridget
all born Ireland.
RG12/3083
The houses are not numbered on the schedule
The schedule starts at number 40 so could there be part of the census missing?
???

Thank you all. Maybe it is missing. I thought I had found a death for Thomas Smith in 1899 in Wigan? Just based it on Betsy being a widow in 1901.
