i have found on the 1861 census a sarah ann wagden age 10 born 1851 in hap workhouse lancs. i am having trouble finding anything out about this work house. could someone look up the name of wagden on the 1851 census for me.
her mother was mary ann wagden , i think thanks x

The chap's writing was awful. I agree with the H at the start - it resembles the start of House a couple of lines further down. Then I think we have "eap". Heap is in the Bury area, which ties in with mother's origins.

I think the age given in 1861 reads more like a 6, so it's unlikely she's in the 1851.

FreeBMD is still sparse around those years, so can't confirm or deny.

THANKS , YES THE AGE DOES LOOK LIKE 6 BUT I CAN FIND HER IN LATER CENSUSES AND HER AGE TIES IN WITH BEING 10 NOT 6.
I AGREE THAT IT IS PROBABLY HEAP.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND TROUBLE LYNN M X
