Thread: Location of Lower Teamire(?) in Cheshire

Hi

On the 1861 census, an ancestor, Louisa Hughes, birthplace is given as abt 1854 in 'Lower Teamines, Cheshire, England'. reference RG9; Piece: 2787; Folio: 73; Page: 25;


On the 1871 census (RG10; Piece: 3899; Folio: 142; Page: 15) her birthplace is given as Oldham, however she was a servant in a household there so it is possible that this was incorrect. She did have siblings born in Olham and I have found their baptisms there, but not that of Louisa, which again supports her birth being in Cheshire.

I am trying to find her in the 1881 census, and suspect she has married by then.

Does anyone know of Lower Teamines, or is this wrongly transcribed from Lower Tranmere? I'd be grateful for anyone's thoughts on this. Thank you.

well they certainly got about - the older brother up from her from 1861 census was born newcastle on tyne ( or is it under lyne?) and the younger one liverpool. so tranmere could be a possibility . looking at image it certainly could be.

there is this birth reg

i cant find her on the 1861 census as a separate entity.

well found the family on 1851 - what a mess.

Hi Welshlady - thanks for this. You are right about how much they travelled round. It was Newcastle Under Lyme where the older brother was born. I think you are also probably right about the birth - I suspect I'm going to have to send for the certificate, in order to be sure. Thanks for the 1851 census - you are right about what a mess it is - just very lucky that it ran over hte page, just enough to be able to confirm the identification. Best wishes.
