William Tomlinson and Rebecca Newbould
Article
A search of the 1861 British Census for Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943 reveals a family headed by one William TOMLINSON and living at Sheffield:
Census: England and Wales Census 1861
Place: Norton, Derbyshire, England
Household: William Tomlinson
| Name | Age | Relation | County | Place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| William Tomlinson | 43 | Head | Derbyshire | Dronfield |
| Rebecca Tomlinson | 41 | Wife | Derbyshire | Totley |
| Elizabeth Tomlinson | 12 | Daughter | Derbyshire | Norton |
| William Tomlinson | 9 | Son | Derbyshire | Norton |
| Ellen Tomlinson | 7 | Daughter | Derbyshire | Norton |
| Joseph Tomlinson | 3 | Son | Derbyshire | Norton |
| Jane Tomlinson | 1 | Daughter | Derbyshire | Norton |
| John Newbold | 71 | Boarder | Derbyshire | Holmesfield |
The age of Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943 is as expected so I think there is a strong possibilty this is the correct family. Intuition tells me that John NEWBOLD, recorded in the Census as a boarder age 71 years, could well be Ellen's grandfather and Ellen's maiden surname is probably Newbold.
Further searches reveal a marriage abt June 1845 between one William TOMLINSON and one Rebecca NEWBOULD so for the time being I will assume my research is leading me down the correct line.
Newbold or Newbould? A few searches through the Censuses and FreeBMD reveal possible families using either spelling.
Dronfield remains in Derbyshire, while Totley and Norton are now part of South Yorkshire.
2007-12-23 In this article I discovered Ellen TOMLINSON 1855-1943's father was one Samuel TOMLINSON 1826-1854, so the information shown here needs further research.
2010-09-11 After considering data provided by KW I realise this household is most likely incorrect and I should be researching the family of Samuel TOMLINSON 1826-1854 and Rhoda RIDAL 1826-. To help other researchers I will leave the data intact.
