Find Ancestors

Hello i found a relative of mine, but the 1851 Cambridge ( Little Gransden) census is confusing . It reads as follows Isobella Wilson/Collins b1783 Head . Eliza Smith b 1816 wife . Emma Smith b 1848 daughter of Isobella , which would mean that she was 69 when she had Emma .Could Isobella be Eliza mother and Emma grandmother ?. Also Sabias Smith b 1852 as Isobella daughter and a Mary Collins b1791 mother I have tried to find Emma Smith with Eliza as her mom but nothing showing up .

Might be a while before anyone can help as Ancestry is down at the moment

What AGAIN thanks anyway

Sorry, can't look at it on Ancestry at the moment. Ancestry is "temporarily unavailable".

Ahh ... you mean 1861 not 51 ..



Isabella Wilson 78

Eliza Smith 65
Emma Smith 12
Sabias Smith 9
Mary Collins 70


The original actually has Isabella living alone at number 22.
The rest are next door, a different family at number 23

1861 looks like Isabella is living alone. Mary has 'head' crossed out and replaced by 'wife'. Her occ. is thatcher's wife, presumably he is away/out so she was put as 'head' originally.
I feel Elizabeth us unrelated and should have been listed separately..
