Hi everyone,
I’m looking for help identifying the mother of Alfred Thompson, aged 1 on the 1871 census, living in Dawley Bank, Dawley, Shropshire (Madeley registration district).
Household details (1871):
Head: Benjamin Thompson, 41
Wife: Hannah Thompson, 42
Children: Fanny (18), Enock (13), Mary (11), Jane E (9), Eliza (6)
Grandson: Alfred Thompson (1), born Dawley Bank, Shropshire (ecclesiastical parish Malinslee)
As Alfred is listed as a grandson, I’m trying to work out which of the Thompson daughters is his mother, or whether he may be the child of another relative.
Fanny is 18 in 1871 and is a possible candidate, but I haven’t yet found a birth registration that clearly ties Alfred to her (or to any of the other daughters).
Alfred’s estimated birth year is around 1870, likely registered in the Madeley district.
I’d be very grateful for any help with:
Alfred’s birth registration
Any baptism in Dawley/Malinslee
Later census entries that clarify his parentage
Many thanks in advance
