Notes for Telitha Hylton
Her name is sometimes seen as "Tabitha" instead, and I am unsure which is correct. The handwriting in censuses and other old records is often hard to read. They tended to make large capitals and very small lower case letters, so that telling the difference between “a” and “o”, or between “b” and “li” or “le”, is very hard.
