1881 Census Query
« on: Tuesday 21 December 04 21:39 GMT (UK) »
Could someone please check the census microfilm for Annie B Walker daughter of Robert T Walker of Theatre Road, Wells Next The Sea (Film 1341479 Piece 1988 Page 15) and let me know where Violet was born? The Mormons transcription says Great Hillingworth, Durham but I can find no trace of this place and suspect it has been misread. Also was Violet born at Leaham, Durham or should it be Seaham?

This is what it says ........

Annie b.Northumb'd Hillingworth reads like Iillingworth or could say Tillingworth or Pillingworth even???

There is an Illingworth in Yorks.

Violet b.Durham Seaham

It's pretty bad writing! I thought there was possibly a W before the *illingworth word ...except it doesn't look like the others on the page. I'll send a bit of it to your mailbox Peter so you can have a look for yourself.
