Name help?
« on: Monday 16 September 13 19:05 BST (UK) »
For the life of me cannot figure out what this name is, it's probably a common name just that I'm reading it wrong, would appreciate a pair of fresh eyes on this, thanks.

Thanks for the replies, yeah I came up with Mursada and Thursada but thought that cant be right? This is more of the census, its from 1891.

where was she born and when? There are a couple of birth regs for Theodosia Howells that may be in the right area....

She is 3 months in this census which is 1891 so it would be 1891, and her birth is Trealaw, Glamorgan which comes under Pontypridd - I have checked but can't see anything resembling this name

The 1891 census has the family  with  a dau  Rhoda ( very clear  on the original )   aged  10   below  Evan Daniel  aged  12 .    Free BMD  has  a Rhoda born March  Qtr  of  1891,  ,  Maybe the enumerator    misheard  ,  and  if there  was no one to  correct him ,  he put  down  what   he thought was correct  ........... Ancestry  has deciphered the name a Thomas !

Think she may be Laura Ann in the 1901 census.
