I'm trying to find an Eliza Smith in the 61 census without any luck.
She was born Eliza Green in 1830 in Langtoft Lincolnshire and married John Smith (I kid you not!) in 1857 in the Basford district of Nottingham.
In 1858 they had a son John Ezra Smith born in Eastwood Nottingham. In 1861 they had a daughter Clara Jane Smith born Langley Mill which seems to be part of Eastwood, although she wouldn't have been born when the census was taken.
John Smith died before 1871 as Eliza was a widow by then.
In the other census the son is called Ezra and Eliza used the name Elizabeth in 81.
If a kind person can find her in 61 I would be very grateful.
Thankyou Carole
