Steph, There are quite a few William Crossleys in the Yorkshire all born around the same time but only one of them born in Carlton, Yorks on the 1861: Charles Crossley abt 1853 Carlton, Yorkshire, Son Emily Crossley abt 1852 Carlton, Yorkshire, Daughter George Crossley abt 1858 Carlton, Yorkshire, Son Harriet Crossley abt 1825 Lofthouse, Yorkshire, Wife Jabez Crossley abt 1856 Carlton, Yorkshire, Son Joseph Crossley abt 1830 Carlton, Yorkshire, Head Coal Miner William Crossley abt 1851 Carlton, Yorkshire, Son Westfield Place, Rothwell Yorkshire None of the William's on 1871 are listed as being born in Carlton. I checked the ones still living at home with parents and none matched with the 1861 census above. I found this one but you would need to check who your William married: Anne E Crossley abt 1870 Chapel Allerton, Yorkshire, Daughter Emma Crossley abt 1851 South Emsall, Yorkshire, Wife William Crossley abt 1850 East Hardwick, Yorkshire, Head Chapel Allerton Yorkshire (East Hardwick is near Pontefract, approx. 10 miles South East of Carlton and Chapel Allerton is approx. 5 miles north of Carlton, Leeds) Hope this has helped, Annette

Hi Annette Thanks for all your help. What you found on the 1861 census seems to fit, not quite so sure about 1871. I know William married an Emma but not sure about the area or the daughter. I have the family on the 1881 census without daughter Anne and i can't find a death record for her between 1871 and 1881 in case it is the right family :s Regards, Steph:)

Annette, Thank you very much for your trouble. The family you found on th 1841 census is definitely the right one. Lynne

Hello Annette. Can I ask you to have a look for Esther BLUNT on the 1871 census. Living at 8 Shadwell Green. Shadwell. I want to know who is living in the same household as her. She was born in Middlesex in about 1813. Her maiden name was Smith. Many thanks for your help. SUE.

Hi again Annette, I would be most grateful if you could you please look up in the 1841 and 1851 census: Jane Hewett b ca 1824 Tiverton, Devon she might possibly have a brother Henry b ca 1813 with a father Henry and a mother Sally. Thank you Liz

SUE, I searched using birth date range 1805-1820 (all counties) and only these 2 came up on the 1871: Esther Blunt abt 1810 Heywood, Lancashire, Wife Bury and Heap Lancashire Esther Blunt abt 1820 Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, Wife Rampton Cambridgeshire I also found this record: Eliza Smith abt 1838 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Wife St James Esther Smith abt 1812 Middlesex, Visitor St James Frederick Smith abt 1871 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Son Mary A Smith abt 1867 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Daughter Thomas Smith abt 1869 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Son William Smith abt 1840 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Head William Smith abt 1865 Clerkenwell, Middlesex, Son St James Clerkenwell London These are the death indexes on Free BMD for the same birth date ranges: Esther Blunt (abt 1809) 1882 Jun QTR Bury Lancashire Esther Blunt (abt 1818) 1896 Sep QTR Chesterton Cambridgeshire Esther Blunt (abt 1820) 1898 Mar QTR Newport Pagnell Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire Annette

LIZ I searched using a birth range 1810-1820, this could be Jane on the 1841: Sally Dansford abt 1836 Devon, Henry Hewett abt 1791 Devon, Occ: Publican Henry Hewett abt 1816 Devon, Jane Hewett abt 1826 Devon, William Hewett abt 1821 Devon, Elizabeth Manning abt 1806 Devon, Address: Angel Hill, Tiverton Devon No trace of Jane with surname Hewett on the 1851, maybe she had married? Annette

Hi Annette, Thank you so much for the 1841 census. Brilliant!!! I am so pleased to get that, she married in 1852- who knows where she was in 1851!!!! Thanks again Liz

Hello Annette. Many thanks for your reply and the information. I have to apologise to you as I put the 1871 census and I meant to ask for the 1891. Same area and same name Esther Blunt. So sorry I know you would have spent some time looking in 1871 for me. However this family does (I think) have a connection to my Esther Blunt through her fisrt marriage to Thomas Smith. So it has given me a lead there. Many thanks and much appreciated. Regards. SUE.

SUE, I searched birth date ranges 1808-1820 (all counties) and there is no trace of Esther on the 1891 or 1901. Annette

Thank you again Annette. SUE.

Hi, Trying to find my husband's family and they are English so I'm lost (mine is pretty much Scottish). Looking for Montague Phillipson (or Levi) and / or parents ?Moses Phillip Levi and ?Sophia Phillips - parents born ?1786/ 1787. Sorry about vagueness, but it's not my research and I'm after some hard facts if they could be found on a census - Maybe in London somewhere in 1841 as Montague married there in 1846, then emigrated to Australia. Not sure when parents died either? Thanks, Fiona

FIONA, This is the nearest I found for Montague on the 1841: Montague *Phillips abt 1821 Middlesex Occ: Druggist (I think!)
