Alithea Ward

[Evie]

Hi Adam

Still cannot find Alithea on the 1851 census on Anc. however she must have been in Sunderland District on the night of the census as Durham Records Online have her down as Allita (Alithea) Ward born abt 1833 Bishopwearmouth. Unfortunately I don't have credits to access their website to see the full census. i have tried using that spelling on Anc but with no luck.

The burial that Janis found for the first Alithea is also mentioned.

Oh and by the way you do a fantastic job posting all those graveyard inscriptions thank you

Hello. Thank you Evie Janis and Linda. Alithea is elusive on the 1841 census.
I think I will stick with what I know best.
Now what graveyard will I do next???

I am not in to family history like many who post on the list

Hi Adam

Now I see what you mean!  Those of us who are hooked on this hobby want to know the answers - even if they're not our family   

Have fun in the graveyard - a hobby I wouldn't touch by the way

Maybe troublesome 1851 census-the mother's name is different than the 1841--but then I have seen mistakes in the census on names before.

I had to go to my Stepping Stones CD's for this one

That's brilliant Janis, I was still looking as I couldn't believe she wasn't there.

I put in the ref number out of curiosity and no matches found, so obviously it is missing from Ancestry.

So where is she in 1841

Hello Janis. Thank you , that is the one that I was looking for.
On the wedding entry Alithea was married by licence to Thomas Tinkler of 25 High street given as a draper
and Alithea was living at 45 High street.
They went on to have children in Durham, Kent, Sussex and ireland and ended up at Stockton on Tees as Furniture dealers. (second hand I think)
That has got me going again so I will carry on with this one.
I think Mary as in the 1841 is the correct name.
