Harriett Elizabeth BOLLOM, Hampshire

[Mickytom]

Am having a job trying to find entries for Harriet on the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses. I have her (married, as a Hellier) on the 1881 census, with an approximate YOB of 1849, in Freemantle, Hants. I also have the birth certificate of her eldest child in 1877, from which her maiden name has been taken; looks like it can't be anything other than Bollom to me. HELP!!!

The 1876 marriage reg on freebmd confirms her surname as Bollom but middle name Eliza - not Elizabeth

Likely baptism on FamilySearch

A copy of her marriage cert will confirm her fathers name

Thanks, guys! As you've probably surmised, I'm a little out of practice with all this; my own family research was mostly done between about 2006 and 2008, and Family Search these days just looks and feels so DIFFERENT! Marriage cert now on order, which will hopefully prove to be the key. Thanks again.

Harriett          Wife  M  58          Shaftesbury, Dorset
Harriett E                U  22 governess Southampton
Emma         D-in-law M  29   Houndsdown, Hants

So it may be worth having another go at searching with alternative spellings, mistranscriptions are so common
