Can anybody find these two in any later census's then 1851: Matilda Lodthum brn 1824 and her son Henry brn abt 1850 in birmingham for this census. I am trying to find out if this is my missing rellie matilda latham. Have looked at the name Lodthum, but can't find anybody else with it

There were no Lodthums living in England Wales or the Isle of Man in 2002. So it looks like a transcription error.

Can't seem to find a birth for Henry, under the surname Lodthum and/or Latham

Hi Lynda, it wasn't law to register a birth until 1875, so maybe they didn't bother to register him, I have quite a few like that....

I know this may be a silly question but have you tried Lathum?
