Hi Thelma,

It's Finsburry in 1881 with no county listed.  What was her maiden name so we could find her in earlier census?

Hi,
     thanks for that she is the wife of Wm Thomas and if i could find out where Finbury in salop was i may be able to say, but as you have just helped me , I will have a look and see? Thank You for your kind help.


                                       Regards

Yes I found her married to William, just asked if you had her marriage cert, or perhaps one of the children's birth certs to give her maiden name

Wondering if it's just a mistake on the 1871 census -  In 1861 and 1851 there's an Eliza Louisa Greenfield b. 1839 Finsbury (London) and I notice there is a Greenfield/Thomas marriage in Cannock in 1909, probably coincidence
