yeah the one in 1881 is definately their son, but his siblings are wrongly down as his children. Which says to me the parents must of died and he took them in.

I think you should look for a death of John and Sarah between 1871 and 1881

Researching:
Ashford-Smith, Smith, Clarke - England and Scotland, Anderson & Marr - Midlothian & East Lothian, Bennett - Devonport, Catleugh & Shiells - East Lothian, Cullen & Dowling - Waterford, Ireland, Littlejohns - Plymouth & London, Mansfield - Benfleet & St Pancras, Michelin - London, Newlands - Midlothian & Fife, Paterson - Canongate, Midlothian, Paulin - Northumberland, Rutherford - Roxburghshire, Taylor - East Lothian & Berwickshire, Thomson - Leith & Muthill, Thorney - Herefordshire, Small - Northumberland,

The John Mackelworth in the 1881 census would appear to be the son of the John and Sarah born 1828 and 1833. There are 3 brothers living with him in 1881 who all appear in the family on the 1871 census.

I can't find the parents anywhere.

John and Sarah Mackelworth (nee Notley) 1828 and 1833 approx. respectively were head and wife in 1861 and 1871 census records. In 1881 a John and Sarah Mackelworth were shown as head and wife but they were much younger than they should have been (22 years in the case of John and 17 years in the case of Sarah).

They are obviously different people. Fair enough. But I and others can find no trace of what happened to the original John and Sarah (death records being the obvious starting place). Can anyone shine the light please?
