Can antone come up with a guess what name my g/g/ggranmother would have called her self, her name was ATHERLIA Taylor died in 1902. I've put in just her first name on ansestry and it came up with just 1 entry Her death in 1902

If she died in 1902 she must be on 1901 census etc. Do you have any details about her family? I'm guessing her name is mistranscribed in death index and it could be Anthea Athena Althea How old was she when she died?

Hi John I know it'sw not what you asked but I jut googled her name and it is a derivative of Athena (Goddess of wisdom and war). Obviously not very common!! Good luck ...

I put just Atherlia in Ancestry search box and got 1881 census Jessie Atherlia Wood abt 1874 Sowerby, Yorkshire, England Daughter Sowerby New Rd, Sowerby In Halifax, Yorkshire Civil Registration Bradshaw, Atherlia 1900 June Deaths Coventry Warwickshire West Midlands Taylor, Atherlia 1902 June Deaths Brentford Middlesex

I see she was 57 when she died so she would have been born around 1844/5. Was Taylor her married name? nell

Looking for likely A------- Taylor b abt 1844, living in Warwickshire in 1901: 1901 England Census Record Name: Amelia Taylor Age: 56 Estimated birth year: abt 1845 Relation: Head Where born: Walsham le Willows, Staffordshire, England Civil parish: Birmingham Ecclesiatical parish: St Margaret County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England RG13/2829 Folio: 60 Page: 32 Registrati district: Birmingham Sub-regdistrict: Lady Wood ED, institution, or vessel: 39

Thanks for the replies, all I have is a picture of her grave stone,She died 25th june 1902 aged 64, the say in the family is that her sons took their mothers name (do not know why)

What is the name on her gravestone and is anyone buried with her - do you have details of a husband? Generally if children have their mother's maiden name it means they are illegitimate - though not always. nell

John Have you tried ordering her death certificate to see who registered the death. That could give some clues as to family members.

Do you know the names and birth years of any of her children? Zoe

Also, have you tried looking for her children in the 1901 census, it might be easier to find them and see if she is living with them.

I Know every one Comming down On the grave stone is also her son Jabez Taylor Born 1879 and his wife Emily Taylor Born 1881,

I have orderd Emily Taylors Birth Cert, nee Dunn, and their Marridge Cert to Jabez, must be in the post by now.

John was Jabez married by 1901? Zoe

Zoe No, September 1902

Not what you asked for but is this one of yours? Births Jun 1903 Taylor Athalia Brentford 3a 202 Possibly Jabez's daughter?

Yes Rachel Jabez's Daughter, Thanks
