Find Ancestors

Hebbard and Hebberd are interchangeable - could your great grandparents spell or were they illiterate? Did they check what the enumerator had written down when he filled in the forms? How clear was his handwriting, a squiggle can be mis-interpreted.
Similarly with Popperwell.
I have a T in the middle of my surname, my daughter always had it recorded wrongly without the T by other people.

If this is Caroline's death:
Deaths Mar 1961
HEBBARD Caroline E 70 Epping 5a 68
she was born in 1890 not the 1875 that you thought, which agrees with the censuses found.

I do not think anyone has yet found her in 1901, and she appears to be born in 1890, with Mother Eliza showing in 1891 census, with her father remarrying in 1891 after the census, to Theresa Elizabeth Debney.

Oh...Ah, I see : D
I understand it now. Thankyou for your help. Much appreciated : )

I'm not quite sure : S
My grandad did mention that his dad (or grandad) was the more educated out of his siblings and spoke, and wrote, his name as Hebbard, whereas his siblings all said it as Hibbard. But, as far as I know, it was infact Hebbard.
No, we have not yet checked any enumerators handwriting etc; I am eventually going to take a trip down to the Record Office that is most local to me though, which may help further.
Also, what does it mean when it says "Head spouse" or similar? Thankyou : )

Where have you seen 'Head spouse'?
The spellings of surnames evolves, there is no correct way, just agreement might arise within families, or take different turnings. If you have never seen it written then how you pronounce it is going to influence how it was written down - just think of regional accents.

I saw Head Spouse in one of your posts: -

"This George is a bootmaker, just no Charles H, however Willie and William??
1891 England Census
George Hebbard Age: 37 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1854
====>>Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Emma Hebbard<<=======
Gender: Male Where born: Hackney, London, England
Civil parish: Hackney Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary of Eton
Town: Homerton County/Island: London
Country: England"

Ah, I see. So, for Popperwell, if I was to see Popplewell or Popporwell, they are still relations (if they were born within the same time/area? Thankyou : )

Also, would death records show up in their married name or maiden name?

It is the way it has been copied over from ancestry, it means that he is the Head of the Household, and then that his spouse's name is Emma
So I apologise, I should have added punctuation
Relation: Head,
Spouse's Name: Emma Hebbard

Death records usually show as the name that they are using when they die, which is normally their most recent married name, in England.

Oh, okay : ) No apology needed : )
Thankyou : )
