1881 Census South Shields

[harton]

Can anyone help me with the name of the person who is living at 16 Ingham Street South Shields, I'm having difficulty reading it. The reference is 5011/72/29.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Derek,

I take it you mean the one person household as opposed to the Johnson family above her also at no. 16.

I read it as Eleanor Bowey Watson  head Widow 65  Durham Harton
In 1871 she's just Eleanor, husband William.
