Joy *The Carlos Cutie of Ilson* Report 25 Jun 2008 22:06

Hannah Kirkland (born c1835 Mansfield, Nottinghamshire) marries Henry Riley (born c1831 Mansfield, Nottinghamshire) in 1856 in Sheffield.

1861 - Census the surname is mistranscribed as Kiley.
1871 - Hannah is widowed and living in Chesterfield with a lodger by the name of Robert Hallam (born c1836, Leicester)
1881 - Hannah is living with Robert Hallam
1891 - Hannah married to Robert Hallam (1890 Chesterfield)
1901 - Hannah widowed again.

In the 1871 Census there are two girls living with Hannah.

Eliza H Riley born c1868 Chesterfield
Edith H Riley born c1870 Chesterfield

I've found two births for such children with the name Hallam as middle name.

I'm thinking these two girls are actually Roberts. Edith appears to have dropped the Riley name by 1881 Census.

Can't find Eliza after 1871.
