FionaFiona,

Was WHILEY Elizabeth's maiden or married name?

I see 5 Elizabeth WHILEYs listed in the 1841 census for Lincolnshire:
1. born about 1796 in Lincs, living in Friskney
2. b. abt 1826 in Lincs, living in Friskney
3. b. abt 1839 in Lincs, living in Gainsborough
4. b. abt 1821 in Lincs, living in Wainfleet St. Mary
5. b. abt 1836 in Lincs, living in Wainfleet St. Mary

Ages for adults were rounded down to the nearest 5 years so her birthdate would likely have been recorded as 1821. The Elizabeth WHILEY born in 1821 above is working for a farmer in 1841 as a servant. There's another WHILEY in the same household: Mary, 16 years of age, also a servant. If this looks likely, I can give you the whole transcription.

Hi Trish
Whiley is Elizabeth's maiden name (I think she married John Witton/Wilton in 1842). I think the 1821 record would be her because if I have her marriage correct, she was married in Wainfleet St Mary and she had a sister Mary. I would really appreciate the whole transription and if it's not to much trouble the Elizabeth b 1796 would be helpful as well
Thank you so much
Regards
Fiona

Fiona and Geoff,

The Elizabeth WHILEY listed as born about 1826 in the 1841 census could be the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth. This is a full transcription for her:

Census: 1841: HO107/633/14 Folio 28 Page 3
Address: Heddecks?, Friskney, Lincolnshire
-- Thomas WHARVE 25 Shopkeeper Y [for born in same county]
-- Mary do 36 Y
-- David do 5 Y
-- Susan do 3 Y
-- Peter do 2 Y
-- Elizabeth WHILEY 15 [no occupation given] [Y]

If the age of the Elizabeth born in 1823 was rounded down, it may have been recorded as 15 in the census.

Fiona,

Based on the information from Geoff, I did a search for Betsy/Betsey WHILEY in the 1841 census. The following may be an important entry for you:

Census: 1841: HO107/633/14 Folio 40 Page 2

-- Betsey WHILEY 60 Publican Y [for born in same county]
-- John WHILEY 25 Brewer Y
-- Sarah do 35 Y

-- Maria 1 Y

HTH,
Trish
