Amelia/Mildred Fulstow, born Killingholme, poss 1811
« on: Friday 16 October 09 13:31 BST (UK) »
Sorry if the above seems vague, but this lady, my 3 times great grandma, is in the 1841 onwards censuses as either Amelia or Mildred, always as born Killingholme, and with varying dates of birth!
DOB could obviously vary if other members of the family spoke to the census taker, but I can't understand about forenames.
However, I'm certain I'm not mixing two people, as even when her forename changes, there is consistency in the other members of the family living with her.
To be honest, I don't even know if she was born a Fulstow or married one.  She got recorded as a widow on the censuses, but then so did her daughter Mary (from whom I'm descended), and I know from lookups other kind people have done that at the birth of each of her sons Mary was in the records as s single woman.
So, if anyone can suggest a resource other than the obvious (I've tried IGI & findmypast). or is willing to do a lookup to try to find Amelia/Mildred's birth and, if it happened, wedding, I'd be very grateful.
Just to add to the fun, Fulstow is often mis-recorded, whether because of illiteracy or pronunciation, quite often as Fulston, though I have seen other variants.  I have even tried the graveyards around Killingholme for Fulstows, with zero success!!
Help.

I don't have a problem with the names - either could be known as Milly.

You didn't mention her daughter Ann, aged 10 in 1841 ... http://tinyurl.com/ygpj9v3

There was a John FULSTOW buried at Killingholme 7 July 1835 aged 61.

Her age in 1841 was given as 35, meaning she could have been born as early as 1801 ... then I note the baptism of a Milly BROCKELSBY in 1798 ... then notice she was next door to a John BROCKLESBY in 1841.

Sorry, I can't spot a marriage though.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Thanks Geoff, that's a couple of avenues to follow anyway.

Killingholme comes under the Haverstoe deanery and for 1813-37 marriages there is:
Mildred BROCKLESBY & Thomas CLEMMENT at Laceby 1818

Thanks rover,  I'll bear it in mind, although for the Brocklesby line of enquiry to work, she would have had to marry a Fulstow after Thomas Clemment died, or at least to adopt the name of a Fulstow she was living with "as in matrimony" - or "o'er t' brush" as they said in Lancashire, where I grew up!!

Hi Phil. Not sure if you'll get this as it's now a year since you posted. I've had the same problem and am also related to Amelia's daughter Mary through her son John. What I have found is that Amelia's maiden name was Cooling. I still haven't managed to get a birth date though.

Hi - as you can see, the message did get through.  I'll try the Cooling lead - where did you dig that one up from?
