I have a copy of a census image from Marylebone, St. Marys from 1851.
(HO107/1489).
The image is at HO107; Piece: 1489; Folio: 538; Page: 41
The last 2 people on the page are an ancestor of mine, Mary Turner, and her 9 year old daughter, born out of wedlock.
Mary is aged 39, she is a widow who was born in Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire.
What I am having trouble with is who this daughter is.
Ancestry have transcribed it as 'Dortha' or 'Dartha', but I do not think this is correct.
The first letter to me looks like an 'A' based on the 2 Ann's recorded above (curve of the letters look the same).
She was born in St. Pancras c1841/1842 but I can't find anything on freebmd that could be her.
Any ideas?
A little info on Mary Turner nee Gray:
She was born c1810 in Longbridge Deverill, Wiltshire.
She married William Turner in 1829.
William died in Wiltshire in 1836 after having 2 boys.
Mary moved to London between 1841 & 1851.
But it is this extra daughter I am interested in.
Can anybody suggest what her real name is, or able to find her birth registration or entry in later census records?
Is it possible that her birth is registered under her real father’s name?
And if so how do we now find it?
Any help would be appreciated.
I cannot find Mary Turner after this 1851 entry either.
Perhaps if we find her we may find this elusive daughter.
Thanks so much.
Chris.
