Well spotted. The Elizabeth Kalthoeber shown further down the list is my Gt Gt Grandmother and the Elizabeth Bradshaw (nee Kalthoeber) is her daughter after having married.

Thanks to you all. Can't believe the coincidence, but as you say it is obviously a glitch.

There is an Elizabeth Kalthoeber further down the list. If you click this entry, one of the people in the household is Elizabeth Bradshaw!

Quite right, that is what happens.

I looked at the image and there is nothing showing on there either to show the connection between Elizabeth Bradshaw and Kalthoeber.

She is 52, Single, born in Islington, London and a Governess (School), as is her sister Hannah (the Head of the household).


Usually when this happens someone has contacted ancestry to give them the double connection, but the second name shows on the record page.


Not sure what has happened in this case.

I don't understand that, Ron. Normally when a different name comes up it's because somebody has added a note to give an alternate name but no such note has been added in this case. Curious!

This Elizabeth Bradshaw is an unmarried lady..........living with her unmarried sister Hannah Bradshaw

I think it's just a glitch on Ancestry...........I searched earlier this evening for a name with spouse Catherine......one of the results had a spouse named Elizabeth.

Would some kind member please do a search on Ancestry of the 1891 census using only the surname Kalthoeber. When I do this the first entry that appears is Elizabeth Bradshaw. When I look at the image there is no reference anywhere to Kalthoeber. The coincidence is that I have an Elizabeth Bradshaw (my great grandmother) whose maiden name was Kalthoeber!! Am I missing something???
Thanks in advance
Ron
