Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Below is Keziah's family!. One reason is that she named a daughter Jemima (for mother) and named a son Richard (probably after her brother)!. This family lived in Durham, near the Lindsley family!. AND Keziah is living with her Grandfather and Aunt Wharton in 1881, next to her parents and siblings and this same Aunt is living with her in 1901!.
Each census has different spellings for each person, so take that with a grain of salt!.

I could not find her in the census of 1871!.

In the census of 1881 she is working as a servant for Dr!. Louis Lewis & Family who live in St!. Pancras, Regents Park, London

In the census of 1891 she is married to William Lindsley who was born in 1864 in Chester Le Street, Durham, England!. They had two children in 1891: Louisa, age 1 and Thomas age 2!. They also have a 67 year old spinster living with whose name is Louisa Wharton!. Since their little girl is also named Louisa, I would consider that Louisa Wharton is perhaps a spinster aunt - maybe William's mother's sister!.

i would get the marriage certificate first before trying to locate her, i cant find her on any census before her marriage, which could suggest that she might not have grown up with the surname allison!. are you sure its not allinson!? the marriage cert will give the father's name then you can more accurately get her birth detailsWww@QuestionHome@Com
