Can anyone help?
I am looking for Eliza Cross in the 1841 census. She was born in or near Hereford in 1836 (later census returns state Herefordshire, Hereford and Eden, Hereford). She was married in London in 1855 but I can't find her in the London 1851 census.
She would have been 4 or 5 years old in 1841. If anyone can find her in the Hereford census in 1841, I'd be very grateful for any information.
Thanks in advance for your help

I can't find an Eden in HEF - could it be Eaton Bishop? (about 5 miles from Hereford city)
Reason I ask, the IGI has a baptism at Eaton Bishop:
Eliza CROSS bapt 19 Feb 1836; parents James & Mary.
Do you have other info for your Eliza such as married name, parents' names, siblings? Anything may give me a clue where to look, as my 1841 is unindexed, and Hereford is fairly big.
Cheers

Hi,
I had a look at Eaton Bishop in 1841 census - Eliza not found (nor James & Mary). There were some other CROSS; and I also noted that the village, as an address, was just listed as "Eaton" which could possibly be verbally confused with "Eden" in a later census.
Cheers

I'm sorry I don't know anything more about this lady. She married in London to a travelling German musician, so it's perfectly possible that a mispronounced place of birth was incorrectly noted.
I will follow up your Eaton Bishop suggestion.
