Helping sister inlaw find family in Britain

[heywood]

Hi Evie and all,
I've just returned from holiday and hope all is well.
Looking over these posts - it looks as though there is a sister Winnifred and for some reason the mother is also listed as the same name Winnifred so your sister in law is right re the sister and it seems re the mother as Julia (in part).

Eliza Julia Downey - free BMD December quarter 1869 Bermondsey

1871 census
RG10; Piece: 637; Folio: 44; Page: 19
Eliza J is transcribed as 1 month old but looks like 12 months.

1881 she is Julia.

1891 RG12; Piece: 33; Folio 73; Page 20
Eliza J (transcribed as Eliza I) is a cook

but then she becomes Winifred

best wishes

HI Heywood,

   Hope you had a good Holiday! Yes I am now aware of
the problem of this woman's name. I found two families
on Ancestry that have a Julia and the other has Eliza J
born 1871, but they also have a Julia born 1870 so I will
try to see if we can work it out! Thank You for keeping up
with the search! I am so glad I found this site and of course folks like you and all that have helped me with this!!! I now
know from starting to post in other threads that it looks like this place is full of kind people!!! As you can see from my list of surnames, which is just a small sample of all my surnames which alot have a start in England, I will be visiting with you all alot! Take Care and I will update once I get replys from
the families I found, also I found that John Donohue might
be from Dublin, Ireland...

  Also Winifred was thier oldest daughter, born 1899,
could this be where the problem is?

Had a great holiday- weather not too good but a perfect sport where my dad was born!

Yes I wondered if the enumerator had got it wrong and just written both names but then remembered that she got married as Winifred 

good luck and glad that we are of help
