Any census except 1881 - Isabella Bridson

[Keith Bateman]

Hi All,

Any chance of finding Isabella Bridson in any census - this was her in the 1881 census:

Isabella Bridson - Widow - 54 - Rushen - W Farming 12 Acres.
William Bridson - Son -  Single - 20 - Arboy - Farmers Son.
Mary A Brisdon - Dau - Single - 22 - Arboy - Farmers Daughter.
John Corkill - Nephew - 12 - Rushen.

By the way - probably a stupid question from a "townie" - but what was a "W Farming 12 Acres" mean??

I think she married William Bridson in 1857?

Cheers

Keith
