Birmingham born in Manchester or Hambleton ?

[PommieG]

I'm trying to find something about Ellen Birmingham b. 1822 or about. Wife of Thomas Robertson b. 1819. Found in 1851 census in Leeds, mother of Sarah. 1847. Birthplace Manchester. In 1861 census, also in Leeds her birthplace reads like Hambleton or Hamberton which is struck through.The only town of Hambleton I can find is in Rutland,
    Searching in Manchester for the name Birmingham I came across a marriage 1813 of Thomas Birmingham and Martha Hambleton. Could it be that Ellen Birmingham was confused and gave her mother's name instead of her birth place ?

Does she name her Father as Thomas on her M/C?

Re: 1861 census if I have the correct family

Using the GRO INdex

Ellen 1852 registered Leeds mothers maiden name Birmingham

Emma 1856 registered St. Giles Middlesex mmn Birmingham  (must have died)

Selina 1860 registered Nottingham  mmn Birmingham


Still looking for Sarah aged 15 in 1861

Sarah 1847 appears to be under Robertson, but no mmn.

Thomas Robertson married Sarah Birmingham September Quarter 1837 Kensington vol. 3 page 148

At least both names are on the same index page.
