1871 look up please
« on: Saturday 06 May 06 10:37 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone I am trying to find ELVINA TOOMER in the 1871 census.
She was b1863 DORSET
She married John Nash in 1889 in LANCASHIRE
In 1881 census she is living in BOLTON LANCASHIRE with her brother and his wife.
Her brother was WILLIAM TOOMER b1851 Fontmell Dorset.

From this I believe her family to be :;;;-

JOHN TOOMER B1809 COMPTON HEAD
ANN TOOMER B1918 IWERNE WIFE
children
WILLIAM TOOMER B1851/2 FONTMELL
JAMES TOOMER 1854 SHAFTSBURY
CHARLES TOOMER B1860 FONTMELL
ELIZA TOOMER B1860? FONTMELL
ELVINA TOOMER B1863

I could be on the wrong track altogether with linking this family to her but it is the only family I can find with a William born around 1851.

Any help gratefully appreciated,
kind regards Kath

I was just about to agree, but then found William at home with his widowed mother in 1881.

No sign of Elvina in 1871.

Thank you,I have sent for the marriage certificate of Elvina Toomer and John Nash which will at least clarify her fathers name.She was certainly hiding in 1871.I think her name must have been mistranscribed and perhaps she was given the surname of who ever she was with,who knows............ another mystery to file and keep for another day !!!
thank you everyone for looking,kind regards Kath
