Census Look-Up please Williamson
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 21:23 GMT (UK) »
Good evening

Sorry this is somehwhat of a tall order.

According to my records I have my Williamson family in Carlton in 1841, Drigg in 1851, Mile End, Drigg in 1861 and Mile House Gree, Drigg in 1871. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the original source or census transcripts.

Father - John died bef 1841
Sarah born c 1797

Askew Williamson chr 1834 Drigg
Jane Williamson chr 1835 Drigg died 1836
Sarah Jane Williamson chr 1837 Drigg.

Margaret dau of Sarah Jane born 1861
John Thomas son of Sarah Jane born 1867

I would be grateful if this census information could be confirmed.

I believe Sarah Jane went onto have two illeg children and then marry in 1887 where she gives her father's name as Samuel Rose and not John Williamson.

Any clues would be great.

Thank you

Best regards
Amanda

 ;D

Thank you, Sandra.

I think 1871 is the crucial one here. I am assuming Sarah Jane's status is unmarried.

I wonder is she's been upto no-good with Farmer Sharp!

Thanks again.

Best regards
Amanda

Hello Amanda,

That column was left blank for Sarah Jane Williamson in 1871.  Yes, been up to no good "twice"  ;)

Thank you, Sandra.

It just dawned on me that Sarah Jane doesn't appear to have been at home in 1851 either. It's hard to imagine your kids going out to work and not coming home.

I don't think so :( someone's playing guessing games.  I think my guess is probably closer-

Deaths Dec 1882
WILLIAMSON    Sarah Jane    (44)    Bootle    10b   399
