Same surname, same area,same problem.
Barbara Thirlaway or Thurlaway christened Penshaw, Co. Durham 10 Jun 1828.
Married Ralph Richardson, Hetton-le-Hole, Co. Durham 18 Mar 1848.
c1861: Easington -Co. Durham : Haswell : Fletchers Row
RICHARDSON Ralph Head M M 37 Coal Miner England - -
RICHARDSON Barbara Wife M F 33 Co. Durham - Lambton
RICHARDSON Matthew Son - M 11 Co. Durham - Haswell
RICHARDSON Elizabeth Dau - F 9 Co. Durham - Haswell
RICHARDSON Michael Son - M 5 Co. Durham - Haswell
RICHARDSON Ann Dau - F 3 Co. Durham - Haswell

I would be grateful if anyone can assist in locating Barbara in the 1841 census.
I would also appreciate census look ups for the family group in 1851 and 1871.

I have the 1881 census and Barbara is no longer with the family.
Suspect she died sometime after the birth of their last child recorded as Margaret Richardson in 1864.
Confirmation of her death information would also be most helpful.

Margaret Report 9 Apr 2008 16:43

nudging this as no-one seems to have seen my thanks which I put on about 1/4 past 8 this morning. I would hate people to think I was not acknowledging people's efforts. Thank you all.

Sorry to have been so long acknowledging these replies but I got called away and have only just - this morning - had chance to check replies. I can't thank you all enough. You have been wonderful. Why oh why can't I be as imaginative. I've tried for hours but got nowhere. I am now going to compile the info and check the census returns as you suggest.

To Margaret Manson - yes that is indeed the marriage of daughter Elizabeth to William Walker. She is my gt gt grandmother and her husband William is another of my problems. He was born Masham, Yorkshire but until he married Elizabeth I have niot been able to find him on any census !!

Once again, my grateful thanks to you all for your stirling efforts.

I've had a look at Glitter Baby's find for 1851 & I agree with her I don't think it says Hersloway. It looks like Thirlaway to me.

chrisa Report 8 Apr 2008 23:42

I don't know if this will be any help but there is an area about 5 mins away from my house called Tile Sheds.
I don't know if its the same place but if it is the same as the Tyle sheds mentioned in the original post it is a very small place.
It is between Boldon & Cleadon (Co. Durham as it was).
The nearest large towns at the time would have been South Shields & Sunderland. It roughly half way between the two.
Re Glitter Baby's find for George Hersloway Penshaw is very close by.

Need to check the image


Oh think I need a second opinion as it could be the right family

The first letter of surname can not be H when compared to Head
