My 3x Grandfather Thomas Parker b1792 in Croydon Surrey appears on the 1841 census with his wife Lidea & son Thomas & also a daughter. Shes the one who is causing me problems.
She seems to be Calimar on the record but on the image it is nothing like this.
Could someone have a peep at this & see what they make of it please. I can't find any other record of her
Many thanks
Brenda

Just to place them - I know you have this:

1841 England Census

Name: Lidea Parker
Age: 50
Estimated birth year: abt 1791
Gender: Female

Civil parish: Battersea
Hundred: Brixton (Western Division)
County/Island: Surrey

Registration district: Wandsworth
Sub-registration district: Battersea

Thomas Parker 45
Thomas Parker 15
Lidea Parker 50
John Parker 10
Calimer Parker 5

I do think the 1st letter is a C - but really hard to read, I see what you mean! It looks like Colience - Constance???

Thats the family Jan. Hard to read on image- it could be Constance. I'll try for that
Thanks

I've tried Constance - with no luck so back to the drawing board !!

In 1851 there is a Selina Parker,servant in Sydenham ,Says opposite the railway station No 1.
This is but a short walk fro Crotdon Road penge,and Selina says she is born in Penge.
I think the person who took the census details couldn't spell,and just had a stab at it.
