Help identifying name on census - 'Leweiner Parkin'
« on: Monday 23 January 17 19:22 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

While tracing my Parkin line, I found a very odd name transcribed on FindMyPast.
The name, which I'm pretty sure isn't correct is 'Leweiner Parkin'.
It is said to be this on the transcription, and does look like it says this on the census image.

It is the 1851 census for Charles Parkin (b.1816, Kimberworth) and his wife Sarah (b.1817, Kimberworth) and their children Emma, Aaron, Zilphah and 'Leweiner', living on Hesley Lane in Ecclesfield, Yorkshire.
Leweiner is said to be a female, daughter of Charles and Sarah, born in Ecclesfield in either 1851 or 1850 (as she is listed as 0 on the census).
However I cannot find a baptism record for her, nor is she on other censuses I have found of the family.

I've attached an image of the name as it appears on the census document.
Help finding out who this female was, and what her name was would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Holly

Looking at the birth records for the Parkin children it would appear that their mother's maiden name is 'Waller'.

There is a birth of a Savina Parkin
q1 1851, Wortley
Mother's maiden name - Waller

Perhaps the enumerator could not spell Savina correctly.  :)

Free BMD shows births for Lavinia and Savina with the same reference. Reading the original it looks to be Savina.
