That looks more likely Christina!! Although I think Lynda needs to come back and say what she is trying to trace, and how she got back to them.

It's transcribed as Wordnorth in 1881, so wonder how it was spelt in earlier census?

Christina(Lancashire)

Christina(Lancashire) Report 14 Sep 2013 17:11

Lynda did just ask for the address in 1881. Maybe that's all she wanted? Although, as you posted earlier Flip, it's freely available to find.


I think Elizabeth is down as Elizabeth Dutton in 1861 & 1871.


Possibly her mother's second marriage...

Marriages Sep 1868 (>99%)
Dutton Eleanor Wolverhampton 6b 667
Woodnorth William Wolverhampton 6b 667


And her first...
