Hello, I am trying to find a Rhoda Pargeter on the 1841 and 1851 Census. She was born between 1776 & 1781, and I believe she may have lived in the Kingswinford Parish.
Many thanks.

1851 - yes in Kingswinford b c1781 in Stourbridge
Living with daughter in law Caroline 21 (widow) and her children RIchard (3) and William (2) all born locally

Forgot to say she;s transcribed as Pargater on 1851 by Ancestry
1841 - choice of two, right age and location. Both say b Staffs
One is listed as a widow, living with William and Mary Thomas and family [Rhod Pargeter]
The other listed as Rhoda Pazeter [image is Pargeter] with an Edward "Parzeter" aged 15 and various other adolescents, mostly boys, and some younger with a variety of surnames. Most of the boys are coal miners
