Meg,

I have a cousin who spells her name Esme.That may help as names were not
always spelled correctly on a Census.

Also try Esmay as the surname ,my great-grandmother`s family is down on
one Census with the surname Wineford(Winifred was her christian name.)!

There are lots of slip ups to try.

Good luck,
regards,Jill
