Correct last name for who? Do you have a first name and a location for this person you are asking about?

---

First name is Caroline; Her father is Richard - mother Maryann.  I have searched both  BDM UK, Census Records etc for years but have had no luck. I do have a digital copy of the marriage register but am unable to read it.  I cannot find any Richard Olivera BDM/Census for that surname.

---

Where and when was the marriage?

It Could Fit?  But I'd love to know where you got a 1851 Census.  I know you got it from FamilySearch; but I thought there was only 1841, 1861 and so on!

Thank You so much for your time and effort.  DelwynS

Answer 1

Delwyn,

Here is a long shot for you.  I have no idea if this record is from the right area.  The info is from an 1851 census (citation at the bottom.)  The daughter, Caroline is approx. the right age to have been born in 1833, and the mother and father have names that might fit.

Do you have any good way of deciding whether or not this could be the family you are looking for?
