Hopefully someone can solve this puzzle for me. My Husband's 2xGrandmother Elizabeth Stephenson born 1815 Chester le Street. In 1851 Moorsley. Thomas Greenshields Hd 59 Wdr. Farmer occ. 145 acres employing 2 Labs B West Rainton * Elizabeth Stephenson 36 Housekeeper B Chester le Street, Thomas Greenshields son 4 B Moorsley, Catherine Greenshields dau 5 mths B Moorsley + 2 servants.
1861- Village of Waitby,Westmorland. Thomas Greenshields Hd marr 69 Farm Lab B West Rainton, Elizabeth Greenshields wife 46 B Handoviold, Durham,Thomas son 14 B Moorsley,Catherine dau 10 B Moorsley,Robert son 8 B Houghton le Springs + 6 Lodgers - Railway Labs. 1871- Cottage Row,East Murton. Thomas Greenshields Hd 24 marr Coal miner B Rainton, Elizabeth Greenshields Mother 55 Widow Housekeeper B Chester le Street, Robert Greenshields Brother 18 Coalminer B Houghton le Springs.
To add to this puzzle- 24.4.1856 Houghton le Spring Thomas Greenshield 60 Widower Father Robert Greenshield Farmer to Elizabeth Cummings 40 Spinster Father John Cummings Lab.
Are these Elizabeth's the same person? and where is Handoviold? I am hoping to find out Elizabeth Stephenson parents and where she is in the 1841 census.
In 1841 census Thomas Greenshields Farmer 45 yes, Mary Greenshields 50 No + servants at High Moorsley. In 1846 Houghton le Spring a death of Mary Greenshields.
I found the baptisms of Thomas, Catherine and Robert in Mother's name Elizabeth Stephenson- surname Stephenson on Ancestry.
Many thanks. regards, Margaret
