1861 census lookup please

[homeguard]

hi, I am looking for an Ethilia Ellerton and family who in 1881 were living at Wharf Street Burslem, in 1861 she would be about 31 with possile two sons George aged 10 and Joseph 5, it could be that Ethilia was a mistake on 81 census, may have been Eliza in 1861 ! She was a widow in 81 so husbands name not known, many thanks.

Hi William 

Same here!

(In 1851 she's called Athalia, 1891 & 1901 say Athelia)

Thank you for your help, the different name spelling threw me !  it gives me a better chance of finding the marriage, many thanks.

Hi,

I just found the original post to this thread while searching the Internet for background info on my family tree.

I'm also related to Abel and Atheline/Nathalia Ellerton. If you look at the 1941 census she is named Nathalia so quite confusing as the name changes at each census but I'm pretty sure it's the same person!
