	However ............ who gave the census taker the information?? It may have been Eliza, or a member of her family ............ and she might have told them "near Wentworth". There also seem to be instances where the person has said a place name, the census taker has apparently said "Where's that then", answer "near Leeds (or wherever)". Census taker recognises that name, so that is what is put down! All I'm trying to say is ......... don't take what is says on any census as the absolute truth!!! I now very rarely use the birth place name when searching censuses because they are so often wrong! Sylvia (in Canada)

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 0 Send Message	Maybe sylvia, it's possible, it definatley says Wentworth Yorkshire, and there is a real village called Wentworth in Yorkshire. Also the census which says that is a Welsh one so it's no as if they have jsut copied from the village name or something. She is only person on that census with that place of birth.

	Maybe Wentworth is the wrong place!? There are many "wrong" birth places on the various censuses, just as there are wrong spellings of names, etc.

	Did they have any other children? If so, why not try sending for the bc for one of those in the hope that it hs better handwriting?? OR ................................is it possible that they never actually married?????

Member Since: July 2007 Posts: 0 Send Message	reggie I think she was, I haven't found any siblings, then again I haven't found her parents marriage, so if it pre-dated 1837 that would mean they went at least 8 yeas before having her so i just don't know
