Find Ancestors

I tried all the tricks I knew, but no success :-(

No sign in 1871

There are a few 'permanent gaps' in the records, but none of them is for Bath

In 1871 they should be in Bath, going by the children's birthplaces and dates, but I can't see any of them, in spite of trying all the usual tricks.

Finding home in 1881 is great and they are together although the sons are of an age when they usually have left home so its great to have that information. I couldn't find them in 1871 or 1891 and Isaac appears to change to Josiah in 1881 so will still hunt for them thanks
Also great to know they had four more children as well. I will get there in the end. Again thanks for all your help

sorry x posted there and Erika has found them in 1881

But I am struggling to find the family together in 1871 on either site.

I had forgotten about that . I was told about it when I first started doing family research
but it had slipped my mind. something else to try. thanks so much for your help.

Rose ........

did you also try using the wild card * as a replacement for 1 or more missing letters, especially for names that can be spelled different ways (or mis-spelled)??

eg
Ann* ............. in case of Anne / Annie /Anny
Isa*c
Ja*s

Hi SylviainCanada. Thanks. i have just looked at Ancestry search a for the first person you can put in forename birth year and county of birth but for any additions I can only seem to enter their forename nothing else. However I entered the details that I was searching for and eventually found it but that was knowing from Rambling that there was a spelling error on surname. I tried it for another part of the family I was searching in the 18771 census and no joy. thats was Ann Yandell born 1837 bristol with husband Isaac davies born 1830 in dudley. with three children Walter born 1856 in Manchester William 1859 in bristol and James 1861 in bath. I still could not see anything relevant so I think i must be doing something incorrectly.
Thanks for the suggestion though I will try it with any other one I am struggling with and might have some success

Rose ...............

one tip for when you can't find a family.

Use the forenames only.

Choose a child, enter forename, birth year +/-2, county of birth

Then enter mother's forename, date of birth +/-2, county of birth

Enter father's forename, date of birth +/-2, county of birth

Enter a sibling's forename as above, if there is one that would be alive.

Then search only on those parameters ................ I'm betting that that is what Rambling did, as it is what I would do.

You're very welcome :-)

Thank you so much. I am never sure why I can't find them even though I put in sounds like etc! sorry but so glad you found it thank you. Yes I have Ada as well but born in 1892 so I have her on the 1901 census

again many thanks for helping me
