I ordered Fred's birth cert as he is my OH's grandfather. No father is recorded on the cert, and another family member has confirmed no father's names on the remaining sibling's birth certificates either. We found Freds birth details from passenger lists and went from there. |

There's a Tiptree Heath in Essex - don't know if that's any help, but I only know about it because one of my ancestors came from there. |

do these children have different fathers, it is possible the census has been altered to show her as widow? |

it sounded so exotic and totally out of place in that time in Halifax. I had trawled over and over the same family census looking for things I had missed. Needless to say this is a brickwall. Eliza Moody, head and mother of 4 children by 1901 in Halifax , never has a husband. Her birthplace is Essex, Heath but cant find anything - so when Aalyah came up I was rapt. Oh well , thankyou all for your input |

Its important always to look at the census image as the transcribers are abroad and the places will be unfamiliar to them. They also use a predictive program for some place names and it can throw up the oddest things like Somalia for Somerset :) Check the census image every time. |

easy mistake to make, but it shows that we need to reread things, thank you for coming back and admitting the mistake it makes life a lot easier for us searching we can then move on, |

Had more of a look, it actually says Halifax(I am a goose), but the writing is squeezed in between lines and not as tidy as the rest of the census sheet. |
