I have a missing lady, who I cannot find, for definate, on any census before 1881. Matilda Latham, I have her birth from the igi as feb. 1824. On her wedding cert., to joseph lacey in 1852, I have her age as 25 On the 1818 census she is a widow, and her age is down as 58.The only definate thing I know about her is that her fathers name is joseph, and that she was born and married in birmingham To add to the mystery I am 75% sure that this is her in 1851 1851 census Nelson Street West Birmingham James Latham,Head age 28 Engineer b. Great Bridge, Staffordshire Sarah Latham,wife age 27 b. Bewdley, Worcestershire Esther Latham,dau age 5 b. Birmingham Henry Latham,son age 3 b. Birmingham George Latham,son age 11 months b. Birmingham Joseph Latham,Brother age 21 b. Great Bridge, Staffordshire Matilda Latham,Sister age 16 b. Birmingham William Jones,Lodger age 23 Miller b. Kandley, Shropshire Can anybody find her? before I tear all my hair out

I think the age gap between the IGI record and the 1851 census is far to big at 12 years for it to be the same person, though not imposible,

Lynda did Matilda have children? do you have details. Georgina.

on the IGI it has her mother as Mary not Sarah (as you have on 1851 census) MATILDA LATHAM Female -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: 23 FEB 1824 Christening: 10 JUN 1824 Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick, England Death: Burial: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: JOSEPH LATHAM Family Mother: MARY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record.
