1851/61 Census look up please
« on: Thursday 02 June 05 10:57 BST (UK) »
I'm searching for my great great great grandmother Martha Blunden. She was born in about 1837 in Eversley, Hampshire. She married a William Richard Belcher in the late 1860s. Prior to marriage, the family story is that she was the housekeeper to Charles Kingsley in Everlsey, who was a famous writer and parish vicar.
Names: Bould, Belcher, Dalby, Wilson, Tarboton, Smith, Stabler, Elsworth, Gardner, Clark, Leach, Orman, Parsons, Shaw, D'Hooghe, Wright.
Places: Thorner, Sherburn in Elmet
