Hello List, I am a member of many list but this is my first to yours, I am searching for an Elizabeth possible with a surname Thompson, her date of birth I have from the 1881 & 1891 census is 1855/1857 Wigan, her husband's name was an Arthur ( William ? ) Maden/Maiden sorry, but the surname had changed from Maden in 1881 to Maiden in 1891. as far as I can tell by the 1881 census their first child was ( Arthur ) William born 1874 York, Yorkshire. Elizabeth 1876 Ashby Z, Leicestershire. Robert ( Henry ) c1881 Rutland and Caroline 1881 Leicestershire. In the 1881 census they were living in Leicestershire and in 1891 they were living in Coity, Bridgend, Glamorgan, S. Wales. In 1893 Arthur died and Elizabeth remarried an Irish man Patrick Clark and her father is listed as William Thompson a Farm Labourer. I have had trouble finding this family as I can not find them on the Freebmd site and apart from the mother they are missing from the 1901 census. Is it possible if anyone can help or offer advice on this elusive family. Thank you so much. Rhiannon
