I have been searching for this family with no luck. What information have you got on them? Who have you found in which censuses? |

I had a thread up about 1/2 hr ago and went to edit it and accidentally deleted it which is why I am repeating it now. I am struggling to find census information on the Thirlaway branch of my tree. I have George Thirlaway b. 1807 Tyle Sheds, County Durham and wife Elizabeth. They had children Jane b. 1833, Elizabeth 1835, William 1837, Mary 1839, Isabella 1841, George 1844 and Jane 1848. I am trying to find the family on 1841 census onwards, 1851, 1861 etc. However, I cannot find them on either 1841 or 1851 census. The problem may lie in the fact that the surname Thirlaway often gets mistranscribed (parish records etc.) and appears as ThirlAway, ThirlOway, ThUrlaway, Thirlway, Thirleway, Thirwell. Try as I might I just cannot find them. Can anyone help please? |
