Can someone look at this image to decipher first name please. It is the 2nd name down after Lucy Thurlby (1861 census) Jammie J Thurlby???

It looks like Janine to me. Kath. x

Kath that's what I thought but it seemed such a modern name for 1861. Thanks

Could it be Jasmine? M.

She is Minnie Maud birth registered Oct/Dec. 1855 Clerkenwell.

Jasmine is a good suggestion. I found the Minnie Maud born 1854 and wondered if they changed her name afterwards. The only marriage I cna find for Thomas and Lucy Thurlby is in 3Q 1857 Clerkenwell so if daug born 1854/5 it may have been registered under Adcock but haven't found that either. I have family in 1861 and then only parents in 1891 at a retired licensed victuallers asylum in Camberwell where they both die in their 80's Not found in between

This is the family on the 1871 census, it would appear that the daughter's name is Minnie ! If you look at the 1861 image, you can see the possibility in the second part of the name.

No. 1b 463 Perhaps it was that the enumerator's M's ooked like J's. Carol

Carol thanks so much for finding that in 1871, I've searched for ages. Another pair of eyes works wonders. I think sometimes we get a bit blinkered when looking for our own. Jennifer

On a baby name site I have just found the following name:- Jamese. Could it be that? Kath. x
