Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Amelia/Mildred Fulstow, born Killingholme, poss 1811
« on: Friday 16 October 09 13:31 BST (UK) »
Sorry if the above seems vague, but this lady, my 3 times great grandma, is in the 1841 onwards censuses as either Amelia or Mildred, always as born Killingholme, and with varying dates of birth!
DOB could obviously vary if other members of the family spoke to the census taker, but I can't understand about forenames.
However, I'm certain I'm not mixing two people, as even when her forename changes, there is consistency in the other members of the family living with her.
To be honest, I don't even know if she was born a Fulstow or married one. She got recorded as a widow on the censuses, but then so did her daughter Mary (from whom I'm descended), and I know from lookups other kind people have done that at the birth of each of her sons Mary was in the records as s single woman.
So, if anyone can suggest a resource other than the obvious (I've tried IGI & findmypast). or is willing to do a lookup to try to find Amelia/Mildred's birth and, if it happened, wedding, I'd be very grateful.
Just to add to the fun, Fulstow is often mis-recorded, whether because of illiteracy or pronunciation, quite often as Fulston, though I have seen other variants. I have even tried the graveyards around Killingholme for Fulstows, with zero success!!
Help.
