1871 Census
« on: Sunday 25 May 14 18:21 BST (UK) »
Hello

I have just been looking at the 1871 census that i have with Martha Harston born in Leeds 1819ish, she had a daughter Eliza, can anyone read where it states where Eliza was born please...thats if it is her as the second name reads Hannah not Harston.
I can see the last few letters are field, the other children were born in Wakefield but i am sure this is different.
Martha disappears after 1871 ...but  i believe she remarries..several times...Eliza just vanishes
would like to find deaths for them both so i can close their trails.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post

Regards
joanne

Looks like Heathfield, but may be Wakefield.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

The pob to me looks to start with a W the same as W from William (across the page), therefore I am of the opinion that it is Wakefield.

Martha's marriage to George Harston gives her maiden name which may help with any subsequent marriages:

Marriage: 16th March 1847, Holy Trinity, Rothwell, West Yorkshire.

George Harston, 24, labourer. Father: Edward Harston, weaver.

Martha Jackson, 29. Father: John Jackson, weaver.

Witnesses: Joseph Marsden and Hannah Blakely.

Thank for your replies....will go with Wakefield.
I had seen the Arston surname but couldnt decide I it was my family, as I have an original letter stating Eliza was born 1853, not 1855
Eliza, Eliza where did you disappear to?
Kind Regards
