Susan Bullimore

[judithalexandra]

My great grandmother was Susan Bullimore. Susan gave birth to an illegitimate daughter named Elizabeth Charlotte Bullimore in 1876 in the county of Midlothian in the district Canongate. Susan Bullimore was working as a housemaid at the time and her address was given as 9 Catherine St. Any information about Susan or Elizabeth would be much appreciated and I will gladly share what I have

Hi,

There is only one Bullimore in Midlothian for the 1881 census.
Here she is:

As she is from England and I don't think Bullimore is a Scottish name best guess is that yours also came from England and may have returned there by 1881. I also looked for her daughter Elizabeth and any Susan around the same age but no luck.

Best wishes,
Lanie
