Elizabeth was named Elizabeth Florence Swenson

I wonder if this is her in 1891, minus Mum and Dad


1891 Census

Relation: Visitor
Gender: Female
Where born: Middlesborough, Yorkshire, England

Civil parish: Middlesborough
Ecclesiastical parish: St Pauls

One of those trees on ancestry says she married in 1901:-

Dec 1901 Age: 18
Marriage to John Hilton Hill



This same tree has a second daughter for Priscilla

Priscilla Swenson 1892 in Clydesdale, Scotland


Look back at the 1901 census in the previous post ..................... Priscilla Miller, born ca 1891, Scotland






sylvia

I cannot find Samuel in 1901 .... he may well have been at sea of coruse



and I cannot find Priscilla in 1891 .................... and I ahve also looked on the 1891 Scotland Census!


I wonder if the reason that the boys were put in the Barnardo's home was because Priscilla left Samuel, sent Elizabeth Florence to friends/ relatives, and went off to Scotland (or somewhere) with James Miller ???????


I don't have a sub for the 1911, but it might be interesting to see where Priscilla is!




sylvia

to round things out, I was trying to see if that John Baker and Cecikia in the 1891 were any relation of the family, but this is the only John W Baker and Cec* that I can find ....... but Beaminster is down on the borders of Dorset and Somerset!

I wonder if it is possible

Once again Sylvia to the rescue. I no longer have Ancestry so havnt been able to look for these.

I looked for Priscilla any age living in Middlesbrough on the 1911 census

Found Priscilla Swenson 1864
looking at who is living with her I found
Priscilla Swenson 1892
Lydia Swenson 1907

Im wondering if that is Priscilla Miller 1892 you found

There are 2 James Miller born 1863 living in Middlesbrough

I will ask for a 1911 census check to confirm

good idea


I can do the free search on 1911, but don't have the credits to look at either the transcript or image.

Thank you Choccy. Now isnt that interesting that Priscilla put her other childrens names.

If you have read earlier Sylvia found someone had said Priscillas boys Charles ,Herbert and Samuel were orphans in 1891 and were sent to Canada as home children in 1894

Only had a quick scan of what had gone before I must admit!

Priscilla doesn't mention where the boys are unfortunately ...

I it was a member on Ancestry who put the information on. I no longer subscribe so cant read the details

All I can see is its possibly Leckenby family tree or Spirit family tree

still not sure who you are actually researching (sorry!) - the thread seems to have gone off on a tangent -

if you don't have it, here is Herbert (possibly) in 1901
