Find Ancestors

1901 have found alice townsend 179 farm street birmingham
and may townsend 117 kimble mill lane aston
i favour the may entry as she called herself may when she got married what do you think janey????

I'm a little Smithed out ...

Zena, if you don't copy the census info here, the address doesn't help anyone else find the person. What's needed is the town, and the date and place of birth, for searching.
I can't find a May Townsend in Aston in 1901, for instance. If you're using Ancestry (the only place I subscribe), what is her exact name as it appears there?


This is the one in Birmingham? Yes, 179 Farm St.

Name: Alice Townsend
Age: 18
Estimated birth year: abt 1883
Relation: Boarder
Where born: Birmingham
Occupation: press worker

Civil parish: Birmingham

boarding with Fletcher family; Mr Fletcher is a beer House Keeper & Burnisher.


I don't really know the geography, but wouldn't she be more likely to be in Birmingham, or is it six of one?

Too hot and tired for more today, with work still to be done, I fear.

Anyone else? ;)





... Okay, as suspected, Ancestry has her as Mary. It says May on the image.

Name: Mary Townsend
Age: 18
Estimated birth year: abt 1883
Relation: Visitor
Where born: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England

Civil parish: Aston


The household appears to be Melew, the four children of the HOH (Frederick, born Ireland) are Cartridge makers(s), ammunition, but May has no occupation shown.



No hints to help, it seems.

ok thanks for all your help zena
