1861 Census Lookup Please.

Hi All.
Could some kind person please lookup the 1861 census for Wolstanton Staffordshire for a Rebecca Ouslam born 1821 Staffordshire, it is possible her name might have been transcribed as Rebecca Burslam. I am trying to find out any information about her and who the other members of the household are. Any help will be really appreciated.
Regards Dave.

Hi Dave

Wonder if this is her?

2, Nile Street, Burslem
     
COTTON, John M Head Wid 30  Chemist And Druggist born  Roster Staffordshire   
OUSLAM, Rebecca Servant Mar  40  House Keeper born  Tunstall Staffordshire   

 
RG number:RG09 Piece:1929 Folio:81 Page:13       

She has been transcribed as Burslam, but the original says Ouslam.

Hi oldtimer.
Thank you for the information.
I think that this is the Rebecca I am looking for.
I have her on the 1841 census age 20 residing in Bilston with a Thomas Ouslam as lodgers at the home of her mother Mary who had remarried to a James Hulme. Thomas Ouslam was convicted of theft in 1850 and sentenced to 7 years transportation to Tasmania. I dont think Thomas ever retuned to the UK. I am hoping to find out what became of Rebecca. Once again many thanks.
Dave.

Hi All.
I have now found out that Rebecca passed away in 1869 at Wolstanton Staffordshire aged 49 years, her surname had been transcribed as Onslem. Thomas her husband never returned to UK he passed away in 1863 in Hobart Tasmania.
Regards Dave.
