Wow Peter thanks!

I had an interesting puzzle with Charles and Elizabeth's children.  I knew of Mary Elizabeth  and Priscilla born Warrington, although I have an IGI for Priscilla for a christening in Over.  But I found 2 IGI's for 1851 one mentioning the 1851 census as a source and giving the name Adah Maddock Male, one was for a christening at Saint Paul Warrington for a Ada Maddock female.  I know Adah is a hebrew/bibicle boys name and your census has him as a male grandson but with no name, so I am assuming he is Adah.  But then we have the christening for Ada a girl!  I wondered which one is mistranscribed; census or christening. Can't find Adah/Ada again, arent on 1871.  Ada female, was the name of my husbands Maddock grandma, so I had leaned towards a female one until your posting.

Thanks again

Hi
    I had difficulty reading the name so I transcribed it as it was written (male) I am fairly certain Ada was female, she is shown as female aged10 in 1861 and female again in 1871 where she is living with her cousin Elizabeth Williams who has a 5 month daughter named Ada J
  If you don't have these census details in full let know and I will post them up.

Yes please Peter,
I hadn't any trace of her other than the IGI for her christening.  It's odd though don't you think, that male grandson on the 1851 was obviously born in 1851, if Ada is 10 in 1861 she was born in 1851 too.  But presumably later in the year after the census was taken.  So the male grandson isn't likely to be Charles and Elizabeth's child ? Unless they could fit having two in one year.  Maybe it's the unmarried daughter's Sophia ?!

I am being a pain arent I.

Hi
    Its no problem, have you considered that there never was a Ada (male) and that she was always a she and the daughter of Charles ? The male on the 1851 could have been a wrong transciption.

Thanks for that Peter,
Yes I think I'll go for that just a mistranscription, If you look for Ada on IGI there are 4 entries 2 for Ada and two for Adah, perhaps whoever, was merely hedging their bets.

My husbands grandma was this Ada's niece and presumably named after her.  I wear her engagement ring and feel especially close to this lot, despite them being his line not mine.

Thanks again for all your trawling on my behalf

Sad to say I think I goofed - just posted message ref Follows ancestors - but should have indicated Middlesex origins at that time. Oops-sorry! KenFollows
