Jane Fletcher Nee Thompson

[DJHawkes]

1871 census Toxteth Park aged 29 wife of George Fletcher , he was born Belchford Lincolnshire and she is down as born Tarlton Westmoreland, it does look like Tarlton but I cannot find it on any new or old maps. Living with them is Ann Thompson aged 10, niece born Barbon Westmoreland, I've found that easily enough, but does anyone know of a Tarlton up that way? (there's one here in west lancs but that's not it)

There's a Tarleton in Lancashire Dotty.

Oops, sorry didn't read the whole post. lol.

[DJHawkes]

lol it's ok, I'm mystified as there is no census reference in any of my guides for it nor anything on GENUKI, oh I've not checked the IGI, mind you i don't think it was a parish

[daffy654]

I found a Tarlton in Gloucestershire.

[DJHawkes]

yes I found that too, but with her neice being enumerated with them and giving her birth was barbon it must be a village somewhere in westmoreland. it certainly reads as Tarlton , can't really fault the transcription, the primary may be an error i guess

[craft1948]

on family search there's a Jane Thompson born in Barton, Westmorland christened 7/3/1841

[DJHawkes]

I've just found that but the Jane with that one was alive in cumbria in 1901

[craft1948]

In the 1861 census there's a Jane Thompson born Kirkby Lonsdale living in Barbon.

[DJHawkes]

oh no that's an 1828 birth, Barton may work, though it's a ways from barbon

[craft1948]

In 1861 there's a Jane Thompson born 1840 Kirkby Lonsdale living with her father and siblings, along with a child Ann born 1861 in Kirby Lonsdale, all living in Barbon.

[DJHawkes]

I've found that family just now, you may be right there as the Ann could be Jane's daughter before she moved to Toxteth and married George,

[DJHawkes]

Yes I think you're right with that family craft, thanks for that, wonder if ann was jane's , cheers

[craft1948]

Dotty there's a place in Westmoreland near Kendal called Farleton.

[craft1948]

1851 census, Jane is shown as born in Beetham which is extremely close to Farleton.
