Guest sal1974 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hi, I'm completely and utterly flummoxed!!! Not sure if there is an error on census or more likely I've got 2 Elizabeth's mixed up. But where I find info for one in the timeline there is nothing for the other. Any help on unravelling this mess or where to start looking would be much appreciated as its driving me crazy!! It's the one married to Thomas mawhood I'm interested in. Hope this makes sense! 1846 born in wath 1851 census living in wath 1865 marriage to Thomas mawhood in Sheffield 1871 1881 1891 state born in Sheffield not wath 1901-1911 born in wath living in Lincoln 1922 death in Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suesi Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hi I don't think that your Elizabeth died in Lincoln and was born in Wath. The 1871, 1881, and 1891 census you found I think are correct - Elizabeth born in Sheffield. In 1901 the Mawhoods are living at 16ct 4 house Bernard St, Sheffield. Elizabeth still born in Sheffield. . In 1903, there is this death Elizabeth Mawhood Sep 1903 Sheffield 9c 329 age 57 In 1911, Thomas Mawhood states he is a widower He dies in 1917 Thomas Mawhood Mar 1917 Sheffield 9c 725 I am not sure who are the parents of Elizabeth Bramham. I suggest obtaining the marriage certificate to confirm her father's name. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth, wife of Thomas died 16 ct 4 Bernard Street age 57 and buried 27 August 1903. Thomas Mawhood, forger, age 78 died Fir Vale Union Hospital and buried 4 January 1917.

Guest sal1974 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks Annie and again to Suesi. As I'm sure it's obvious to all I'm quite knew to all this. I'm fine when it's all straightforward but when I get mixed up I just don't know where to start! Your help on this site is invaluable and I'm learning (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sal1974 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think I have found her on the 1861 census aged 15 living as a lodger. But can find no previous record for her. Does anyone have any experience of this. Could her birth not have been registered for any reason? There's nothing on ancestry any ideas of other places I could look for free? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suesi Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi I can't find an Elizabeth Bramham in 1851 either. From the 1861 census, she has a two sisters Ann b.1843 and Harriet b.1849. I think the surname has been misspelt in 1851- could be Bramwell, Bramall, Brammer etc so its harder to find. There is a possible BRAMMAL family living at court 3 Marcus St, Brightside in 1851 but this is just an idea. On freebmd, the only suitable births for Elizabeth seem to be these ones Elizabeth Brammall Dec 1845 Sheffield 22 544 Elizabeth Bramall Jun 1846 Wortley 22 794 Elizabeth Brammer Sep 1846 Wortley 22 735. I think the marriage certificate of Elizabeth Bramham and Thomas Mawhood is needed for name and occupation of Elizabeth's father to help with the search . Sheffield Mar 1865 9c 430 Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
