Title: Elizabeth Perry ne้ Bennet - place of birth?
Post by: squawki11 on Tuesday 24 April 18 07:45 BST (UK)
I'm having a problem with enumerator script. I think I have the same Elizabeth in 1841, 1851 & 1861 census returns. Bull Inn 1841, Haverhill with 3 daughters, Maria, Emma & Selina; 1851, Elizabeth (Widow), Haverhill with 3 daughters, Maria, Emma Elizabeth, Eleanor (Selena?) and on her own in 1861, Laundress as she was in 1851. What I can't make out is her Suffolk place of birth:
Falmetham, Felhatham, Fettenshaw, Fettensham. Any suggestions, please. Bordering on the pedantic but attempting some accuracy and hoping this is the Elizabeth who married Joseph and not Thomas Perry!

Elizabeth Bennett baptised Thelnetham 14 July 1799 parents John Bennett and Rachel nee Goddard

Thelnetham is about 6 miles west of Diss
