1861 Census

[Lee72]

Can someone please do a look up for a Martha Jones, born abt 1781.  She should be living in the Little Wenlock area.

Thanks

Lee

Hi Lee,

You have a choice - which is not surprising with a name like Jones!! 

Martha Jones - 80 - widow - Wikey
Living in Baschurch
Shropshire

or

Martha Jones living as a mother in law with the Grassington household aged 77  - born in Little Wenlock and living in Bently Staffordshire.

Which do you fancy - and I will get the rest of the details

Cheers

Keith

Thanks for looking but its neither of them.

You could see if you have details of another Martha Jones on the 1861 census, born 1776.  She be living or born in Little Wenlock.

Regards

Just checked and although the area is typed as Gamston - see the villiage is Garmston - nr Leighton, nr Little Wenlock!!
