Title: 1851 census lookup please
Post by: jennean on Wednesday 11 July 07 10:18 BST (UK)
Would someone be able to lookup the following for me please.
I am not entirely sure whether this should be in Cheshire or Derbyshire.
I believe the district to be Macclesfield.

Martha Kershaw born 1821.  She died 6 Sep. 1853 aged 32...Macclesfield.

Sorry this is all I have.

thanking you
Jennean

The Glossop lass was the closest one I found with the exact spelling - details

HO107/2152 97/5 Derbyshire Glossop
Rosegreen;Rose Hill
Mary Kershaw head widow 71 Independent life interest in Mill & Land Derbyshire Chapel en le Frish
Hannah do daur U 45 Derbyshire Glossop
Martha do daur U 30 do do

Would Hannah or Mary be the informant on your death certificate?

There may be a submitted entry for her on the IGI
