Lindy, many thanks for that, but that is not my matilda. she was brn in 1824 and, as far as I know, was an only child

if you look on the 1851 it gives these as brother and sister not son and daughter View Record Joseph Latham abt 1830 Great Bridge, Staffordshire, England Brother Birmingham Warwickshire View Record Matilda Latham abt 1835 Birmingham Sister Birmingham Warwickshire so they must have been living with another relative perhaps an older brother ? love linda x

Many thanks to all for your replies to this thread, pc went off the net could'nt replie sa. Will keep trying to find matilda, but will move on and go back to her when I have time????

Have you tried the Warwickshire Ancestors site? A bit long winded, but I found rellies there that weren't anywhere else! Just Google 'Warwickshire Ancestors'

NEVER GIVE UP. Only yesterday I found a whole raft of husband's relatives after discovering a 2nd marriage. When and where was Matilda born? Have you tried Slatham, Satham, Tatham?

Don't give up Lynda !! What year was she born? L's often looked like S's in 1841 - Have you tried variations of that? Dea x

Don't give up Lynda ! Just put her back in her box for a while & get on with someone else... Good luck Sarah :-)

Many thanks, merry especially for your help trying to find her

In 1841 the first 180 or so entries for Birmingham have no proper names.....she could easily be one of those......... And I expect you would get similar for Edgbaston and Aston and other places near to Birmingham too. Merry

Am about to give up looking for matilda latham on the 1841/51 census's. I have tried every spelling of her first, surname, mothers maiden name, that I know of. I know she did'nt leave birmingham, but where she was on the census nights only heaven knows. I'm giving up, while I still have some hair left!!!
