When having trouble finding a person on a census, try looking using fewer search criteria

In this case, the unusual forename would be sufficient, along with birth year and birthplace

You must always allow for mistranscribed entries, or those whose spelling is not quite as you would expect. Illiteracy was even more common then than it is now

Hope this helps

The correction was submitted by someone who is clearly researching this family, as she posted as follows:

Theodosia S Browell rather than Theodecia S. Broul
This child is the daughter of Nancy Swan(n)'s deceased daughter Theodosia, who lived from 1859 to 1879, dying in childbirth or soon after. The child's father was John Browell.

Reggie.

Update!

Thank you for all the above information and also on how to find them when surnames have been mispelt.

Yes that is Theodosia family her middle name was Swann.

I did find her marriage to David Watson in 1904 Castle ward.
I would like to see if they can be found on 1911 census!

I need to try and find where her father John Browell went too!

kind regards.
Linda.

Google 'Thomas Bocking' if you are interested.

Name goes back a long way. Quite a few entries for Bocking

I know the name from Bocking 14 Comfrey. I have masses in my garden.

Wow Thank you so very much!
no wonder they could`nt be found on our census
no sooner the couple were married they must have moved to Ireland.

Once again Thank you very very much.
