If this woman hadn't been dead for the last 76 years i'd of killed her by now!
She's been the hardest person to research but since the 1911 census i've slowly started to demolish the concrete reinforced wall after 10 years!
Anyway i've never been able to find her on the 1881 census, but since Ancestry changed to use of the wildcard I think I might of finally found her.
Can I have your opinions please on this 1881 find please. I've had to put up this timeline so you can see the problems i've had.
1858 - Hannah Fisher baptismed at Tilston, Cheshire, daughter of Eliza Fisher
1861 - Hannah Fisher aged 2 born Tilston 'nursery' to Samuel & Elizabeth Rowland at Hampton, Shropshire
1866 - Eliza Fisher married Aaron Moulton in Nantwich, Cheshire
1871 - Hannah Molton aged 12 born Tilston daughter to Aaron & Eliza Molton at Alsager, Cheshire
1878 - Hannah Thanwill aged 21 married George Brunskill at Salford, Lancashire. Her father is listed as Charles Thanwill (Dec'd) Farmer
1881 - never found Hannah & George Brunskill on the census, tho last year found out that George was in the army in Meerut
1882 - daughter born in Co Durham
1884 - son born in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, mother as Hannah Elizabeth Brunskill formerly Fisher (registerd by mother)
1886 - daughter born in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, mother as Elizabeth Brunskill formerly Thinwhile (registered by a person unrelated to the family)
1888 - daughter born in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, mother as Hannah Elizabeth Brunskill formerly Thinwill (registered by father)
1890 - Husband George Brunskill dies, headstone states husband of Elizabeth
1891 - Elizabeth Brunskill (widow) aged 29 born Cheshire living in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
1893 - Hannah Elizabeth Brunskill, a widow aged 30 married John Wilson in in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham. Her father is listed as Charles Fisher (Dec'd) Farmer
1901 - Hannah Wilson aged 40 born Wales, Cardiff living in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
1911 - Hannah Wilson aged 49 born Tilston living in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham
1934 - Hannah Wilson aged 75 died
It's hard to believe that this is the same woman but i'm 100% sure of it.
Now lastnight I found this woman in 1881, she's the only one that's anything like the person i'm looking for
1881 - Hannah Eliz Boulskill (ancestry's transcripton but the image looks like Brulskill) a married servant aged 21 born Wales, Hollow Farm living in Knowlend, Audley, Staffordshire
Is this my missing great great grandmother???
Got to pop out now but will be back later.
