Eliza Whitmore - 1851 Census - Burbage (Completed)
« on: Sunday 16 October 11 19:16 BST (UK) »
Hi

Can anyone spot the 1851 census for Eliza Whitmore, born 1838 in Burbage, Leics.  Her parents were William and Elizabeth Whitmore. 

She is with the family in 1841 although her father dies in 1842 and her mother goes on to marry Thomas Worthington in 1849.  Her mother is with Thomas in Burbage in 1851 with sister Emma Whitmore and Thomas' children. 

However, i cannot see Eliza Whitmore anywhere, nor can i see her brother Henry, born 1840.

Eliza goes on to marry Thomas Wills in Hinckley, where she can be found in 1861.

Can anyone see Eliza in 1851?  She would have been around 13 so she may be in service, particularly as her mother had re-married.

Thanks in advance.

TB
