*COMPLETED* 1851 census lookup Ann Tonge & Betty Fielding

[mike04]

Looking for these sisters. I've found them in the 1861, living together. Ann (b abt 1829)  is widowed and has the surname Tongue/Tonge and a daughter Ellen (b 1849). Betty Fielding (b abt 1828) is Ann's sister.

I am trying to find an earlier census on the family, and possibly their larger Fielding family from Accrington.

The same sisters (Ann & Betty) are found in the 1871 census living together at 8 Green Street in Farnworth, Lancashire. Ann's daughter Ellen Tonge is still with them.

Thanks


Mike

Hi Karenlee,

Thanks for checking. I don't think thats them. In the two censuses I've seen it clearly states the birth place of the sisters as Accrington, Lancashire.
