I was confused by the 'Acklington Northumberland' census record, but it is an anomaly - I think error by the census enumerator.  Rhoda is a little vague about her birth place on census, in 1871 says Bridgnorth (Bridge Worth) Shropshire, in 1881 Eccleston Shropshire, and in 1891 Birmingham.  I found a place near Bridgnorth that looked a bit like 'Acklington' so presume that she is from that area.

Acklington is in Northumberland - I checked it out on Genuki - but there is an Ackleton in Shropshire

Thanks very much for this Tati (had not found it myself) - looks very like my Rhoda.  Worfield in Bridgenorth area, so would fit.  Also daughter of Richard and Rhoda was named Sarah.

And her parents too, looks like!

And thanks everyone else who is looking - it is wonderful to have so much help.

BWs,

Lesley

Same here - no luck with Richard Woodcock to any Rhoda at all.

Do you have this christening yet? (Source http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch)

Rhodey Trumper 12 Jan 1823 Worfield, Shropshire
Mother Sarah Trumper

(added: There's a christening for a Sarah Trumper in Worfield, 13 May 1802, parents Thomas Trumper and Ann)

I can't find them in 1861 census at all - but son Richard Henry was born 16 April 1859 at 34 Grosvenor Street, Tranmere, Birkenhead, Cheshire (the family living at 3 Grosvenor St in 1871).  I have his birth cert - gives mother as Rhoda Woodcock, formerly Trumper.

You just beat me to it - I can't find them in 1861 but found them in Cheshire in 1871 - birthplace Bridgenorth Shropshire

Looks like Ackleton is actually in Worfield.

I'm looking at the family I suspect to be Sarah's parents in 1841 in Worfield, and the address is Ackleton
HO107/908 13 10 13

The 12 year old could possibly even be a son of Sarah (Thomas Spencer Trumper, mother Sarah, 6 Jun 1830 St Mary Magdalenes Bridgnorth). No sign of Sarah though.
