Eva Claxton was born at Bridlington, East Yorkshire, in 1858, daughter of George Claxton and his wife Hannah, nee Harrison. In 1861 she was recorded in the family home at Bridlington, aged 3.
In 1871 she was recorded in the neighbouring village of Carnaby - she was 13 years old, living at a farm, where she was employed as a domestic servant.
I can't find her in later census returns and haven't found either a corresponding marriage or death record.
In 1881 there was an Eva Claxton in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, born Rillington Yorkshire in 1859, employed as a sewing maid in the household of the vicar of St John, Cheltenham. I don't think Eva (born Bridlington) would have acquired the necessary skills to become a sewing maid, but I can't find out the origins of this Eva, or what became of her. (I'd like to eliminate this second Eva from my search.)
Can anyone help with either girl, please?
