I had been convinced she was in the workhouse but after dragging the family round southwell workhouse yesterday I began to realise that it didn't seem right! I wonder if you would be able to have a look at the Robert on the 1841 census that I think is her son and see what yout think to the inmate. I'm not sure if I'm giving the reference right but I think this is it Class: HO107; Piece 865; Book: 15; Civil Parish: Bleasby; County: Nottinghamshire; Enumeration District: 17; Folio: ; Page: 1; Line: 10; GSU roll: 438908. Also do you know if a person could be entered twice on the same census by mistake? As the above Robert is 9 and living with the farmer but there is also another Robert Briggs aged nine as a lodger in the same area, appearing to be in a house on his own. This doesn't match up on the 1851. I'm beginning to doubt all my research now!My definate facts were single Elizabeth Briggs had Robert Briggs in 1832 in Bleasby and I pieced the rest together or so I thought! Thanks, Christine for the reply Julia Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
