I'm trying to find something about Ellen Birmingham b. 1822 or about. Wife of Thomas Robertson b. 1819. Found in 1851 census in Leeds, mother of Sarah. 1847. Birthplace Manchester. In 1861 census, also in Leeds her birthplace reads like Hambleton or Hamberton which is struck through.The only town of Hambleton I can find is in Rutland,
Searching in Manchester for the name Birmingham I came across a marriage 1813 of Thomas Birmingham and Martha Hambleton. Could it be that Ellen Birmingham was confused and gave her mother's name instead of her birth place ?
