1881 Census, Berston in Sunderland.
« on: Thursday 14 March 24 16:49 GMT (UK) »
I subscribe to Ancestry for goodness know how long, and previously Find my Past, but couldn't find Emma Berston (Cheal) b 1843 and her 3 living children Jane , Elizabeth and John in 1881.
However they exist at UK Census Online and request if someone might kindly advise me of which folio I might look to find them on Ancestry?
With thanks in anticipation.

Ancestry also say Besston.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!

Also transcribed as Besston on Ancestry
If you get stuck like this again, try using wild cards , I searched for Emma B*, born 1843 living in Sunderland and up she popped on both sites.

In fairness to the transcribers it 'does' look like Besston (the writing is dire)

Thanks again. She is listed as Emma Boys by Ancestry in 1891, again in Silver Street, but this time a repetition of the previously entered surname.
