a few questions, but for me its has posed more.
I have searched and searched for my family on the census and finally i found a small poss link or is it.
I am looking for a Rhoda Stockwell, however she was down as Smith in the last census 1901 with a few of her children.
Because i have a Gypsy interest i have been gathering info from the 1911 census and somehow managed to save this one without even noticing the details. I seem to have found them under the name of Williams . In the corner of the record in bright red is this, these people are also known as Stockwell and Sheen.

So how do i prove them to be mine is anyones guess. Her husband isn't with her, but he wasn't in 1901 either. She is down as being younger and different place of birth, but three of her children are with her. How can i prove it?

Sorry if I have confused you I have myself.

Rhoda Stockwell, nee Ayres b.1855 Wiltshire.

She marries in the name of Rose Turner to
Charles Stockwell 1855 married in Andover 1874.

I have found her and Charles in the Census ’81 ‘91
Then in 1901 she appears to be down as Smith,she has
Had extra children but these have been registered in the name
Of Stockwell, one being my gt. Grandfather.
Rose 1876, Katie 1879, Lilly 1881, Vince 1884, Edith 1886, Daisy 1886,
George 1889, Louisa Amy,Freedom 1893, Ethel Mary , Albert Edward 1899.

And now she is registered or so it seems as Williams.

I know Vera,lol. Just wish Genes would sort the jumping about on the box.


Well it sort of confrims it, in my mind it does, but whose are the others? If someone could claim them it would help explain.

They were staying in a Lean too.

If you buy his birth cert it will tell you his mothers maiden name and possibly his father.

I don't think this family really wanted to be found hence the different surnames.

TinaElizabeth

TinaElizabeth Report 8 Feb 2010 13:46

I do have Albert cert and his parents are RHoda and Charles Stockwell.

What i need to find out is, if i claim who i want to from this census then who are the others are they Williams? Sheen? 60 % sure they aren't stockwells but then who Knows
