Zura Leadman born Barnsley 1814

[Herman Digger]

The alt.sp. of Waites was the key to unravelling this!
In 1881 she was transcribed (FindMyPast) as Sara Waites with a niece called Sara A Seadman who must be Sarah J Leadman who I had "lost" in 1881!

The 1871 reference to a niece called Zara Cleanor is a mystery as this person doesn't appear in my research so far. This must be another mis-transcription?

Thanks for breaking this for me.

I worked from image not transcription

"Cleanor" is a little difficult to read -but that is what it looks like - before neice there is something else written but it is so small and squashed together it is barely readable
Look slike "A???in "

will take another look

I may have found "Zara Cleanor" !!!!

This now makes sense. The niece is Zara Eleanor Aspdin the daughter of Zara Waites' sister Jane who married William Aspdin. She was another I have been seeking in the 1871 census.

Many thanks.

Studying the image
Zara's name appears as "Zara Cleanor"  then there is a gap and part squashed into next column is "A?P?in" Neice"

After a few searches I wondered if the "A?p?in " may be a surname -although it was kind of separated from the "Cleanor"

I now think the neice is "Zara Eleanor Aspdin" her p.o.b. is given as Wakefield -but birth reg freeBMD puts it in Kent

There is this marriage

Zara gives addres same as aunt Zara  's in 1871 and Edward day -one of witnesses - could he be aunt Zara's nephew who was an Executor of her will???

Thanks Suz.
All of your information is correct and includes details I didn't have.
As I am a relative novice do you mind me asking where you source your baptism  records? For instance the William Leadman born and baptised 1814 was a child I hadn't picked up. Is there a source of information I am missing? Ditto for marriages.
