I'm pretty sure that I have worked of most of the fornames for this Perry family, but I would like others opinions please, especially the last one. I'll perfectly honest and say that I have really messed up this family.o_O:rolleyes:

I think the last name might be Sarah, at first glimpse I thought Paul but then realising it's in the female column, I looked closer.

The top one Eliza or Eliz for Elizabeth
2nd one might be Martha.
3rd one might be James.
4th one might be Elen
5th one might be Terisa?

Thank you Derek. What do you think the very last line might read please?
 
Carol she could be, possibly more likely than Sarah, the name Carol didn't cross my mind, probably because all my Carolines had their names in full.
 
Thank you very much Derek and Sue. The enumerator has shortened Elizabeth to Eliz for the top one and also I think for the fourth one as the age fits. So I reckon he may have shortened Caroline to Carol. I had a look at the GRO and found this. I'm almost sure mmn is Young, so will keep this in my just in case folder. Carfol/Caroline is not with the family in the 1851 census. WIll look in to that when I get back from shopping me thinks.

PERRY, CAROLINE YOUNG
GRO Reference: 1839 S Quarter in EAST STONEHOUSE Volume 09 Page 295
 
The reason I thought Sarah was because of the first letter which looks like a P.

I had that problem in my early genealogy days when I sent for a birth cert for one of my Searles, I had applied to the Registry Office in Chelmsford not the GRO.

I received a reply from the R O that the name was Pearles not Searles, I had the date of birth for my Searles lady from a family bible. To cut a long story short, the guy at the R O checked the Register again and apparently looked for known names beginning with a capital S in the same hand as the Pearles entry, he then found that the P was in fact an S.

Having experienced that problem was a Godsend in later years reading PRs etc.

That is so frustrating isn't it.

My gt X 3 grandfather William Tibbel (Theobald) was in the 1841 census for Stebbing Essex but was missing from the 1851 Census, I desperately needed him in the 1851 Census to find his birthplace, would have saved me years of searching. Although at the time I didn't know it, I was up against a double whammy there, he died in 1848 and even had he lived to 1851, the 1851 Census for Stebbing in missing. :rolleyes: :)

Had another look at the name I thought was Terisa, I noticed what I thought was dot making it an i is the tail end of a letter in the name above, so I agree with others that it's most likely Teresa.
