Karli, I don't know anything about poll books but if you give us your ancestors names then we may be able to find out more about them using other records.

her name is Mary Lovett she lived in Northgate street Hartlepool she is down as a widow 1841 cencus . i found a charles lovett who died in 1833 in Hartlepool but dont know for sure if this is her husband as i carn t find a marriage of her either

Karli

also found no children for her karli

Karli - this is the 1841. It does not show relationships or marital status.

Do you know who any of her children were?

So what is your connection to her? How does she fit into your tree?

1851 cencus says widow ,

OK - so the 1851 tells us that she was originally Mary Weatherall as she has family of that name:

i have my ancester thomas and ellen lovett who are my gggrandparents thomas said he was born Felling but ages vary on cencus and he lived all his life in Haswell i have all cencus of him but still carnt find out his birth or marriage . Hartlepool came in to it when i found a thomas lovett age 12 on 1841 cencus but he was not with a lovett family he was in the same street but carn t seem to match them up,. thats why i thought if i could find marys husband i might get a link there . ive been on with this for about 5 year and get no further with it . karli

This link is to a page in FamilySearch where they have a number of collections for the Durham area (scroll down the page on the link).
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

There is no index so you would have to sit and browse the images to see if there are any relevant records.

Karli - where was Thomas on a later census that you know to be correct?

EDIT: Is this them in 1861?

LOVET, Thomas Head Married M 43 1818 Cobbler Newcastle on Tyne
LOVET, Ellen Wife Married F 37 1824 Sunderland, Durham

by his death he was 72 yr and died in 1895 making him b 1823
so the one that was 12 in hartlepool dousn t match up if it was my thomas he would of been 18 but down as 15y in 1841 cencus
in 1871 he is down as born1825 1881 he s down as 1825
1891 he s down as 1826 age 65 yr 1895 4 year later when he died he should of been 69 but its down 72 so as you see its a bit difficult to get correct birth but nearly all cencus say born felling and im finding it hard to get Felling records before 1837
Karli

yes thats them on 1861 cencus is it 33/ or 43 as on 1871 cencus i have him down as 46yrs and 56 in 1881

Karli - those ages are definitely what's on the original form. The problem is that
back then literacy wasn't too good and often people weren't sure exactly how old they were.

I've struggled to find a marriage for Thomas & Ellen. Wonder if she wasn't free to marry him? I think I've found her in 1851 with her first husband but the earliest possible death that might be his was 1866.

(I think George is actually son-in-law and would be Ellen's husband).

Just to add, I don't think the 1866 death I found was Ellen's husband as there was a newspaper article and that man was an innkeeper married to an Isabella.

thankyou very much for your help and time things could be moving there yes i think she could of been married before but george would nt be no good for husband ellen had a son before she ws married john born seaton i managed to get birth cert for him but no father on i also got marriage of john and it said thomas liddle was father deceased so it looks like she was married before
.

if john was born seaton i wonder if they lived seaton and a thomas liddle had died there how would i find that out karli

i have to go for a while will be back on in a couple of hours thanks again much appreciated for your help karli

Karli, I can only suggest looking on FreeBMD for possible deaths for Thomas.
