Find Ancestors

Addison Mincher born c1831 at Kinver Staffordshire, parents Addison Mincher and Sarah Emberry, can't find baptism. He is on the 1841 census at Harts Hill, Kingswinford with his mother and 5 siblings. No Addison snr. However Addison snr is back with the family on the 1851 census at Rookery Lane, Wolverhampton. On 7 July 1851 he marries Elizabeth Evans at St Matthews, Wolverhampton, both full age, But there is another Addison Mincher marries June quarter 1855 Wolverhampton area to either Hannah Dabbs or Elizabeth Beech. My problem is I can't find Addison on any census returns apart from the 1841 census. Can anyone find him? Thanks

Hello Malyon, thank you. Sarah was baptised 17 March 1839 at Brierly Hill. If this is my Sarah she must have lied about her age. I have looked on freebmd for a marriage to a Lindley but can't find one.

Hello, I've just had a look at the index for FMP and in 1852 and in England and Wales, Crimes Punishment and Prisons there is an Addison Mincher. Could someone with access to FMP take a look please.

Thanks everyone for searching, much appreciated. I am going to have to return to this tomorrow as I am now heading off to bed.
Many thanks.

Addison junior seems to call himself Joseph sometimes - and possibly sometimes Evans.

(Unless I'm getting confused with another family )
