No promises, but I'll do my best. Please post here (click 'Add Reply' at the top). PM requests will be ignored. I can access all censuses from 1851-1901 and a few 1841. I also have access to BMDs 1866-1920. Please don't post requests outside these dates as I can't help. England & Wales only.

Frances, this him? Francis Staples abt 1817 Haston, Rutland, England Head Tixover Rutland Mary J Staples abt 1822 Stanton, Leicestershire, England Wife Tixover Rutland Sarah E Staples abt 1842 Liddington, Rutland, England Daughter Tixover Rutland Christiana Staples abt 1844 Liddington, Rutland, England Daughter Tixover Rutland Slater Staples abt 1820 Haston, Rutland, England Brother Tixover Rutland He's unmarried. No, can't be this one. He's living with Francis up to 1891.

Jan, very puzzling. I don't think she and Alfred actually got married, hence the confusion on the censuses. I think this is her in the previous two censuses...

Hi Tracy Thanks for your offer of help. Could you please look for the marriage of Samuel Revill. He was born in 1851 in Nottinghamshire and married to Ann. I am trying to find the date of the marriage and Ann's maiden name if you could possibly help. Lindsey

Frances, there's only one marrying in 1870 and he's the same as on FreeBMD. There aren't any other DAMS as far as I can see.

Lindsay, I'm sure I looked for this last week with no success. The only one I can see that comes remotely close is this one on FreeBMD... Marriages Dec 1871 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bouskell John Mansfield 7b 168 HARRISON Hannah Mansfield 7b 168 Jones Mary Mansfield 7b 168 Revill Samuel Mansfield 7b 168

Hi Tracy Thanks very much for the information. I'm wondering if Ann could have been her second name. Im sorry to trouble you a second time but I must have missed your reply. Sorry again. Lindsey

Christine, how about these? Alice Grimshaw abt 1844 Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England Daughter Blackburn Lancashire Charlotte Grimshaw abt 1813 Blackburn, Lancashire, England Head Blackburn Lancashire Daniel Grimshaw abt 1851 Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England Son Blackburn Lancashire Joseph Grimshaw abt 1849 Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England Son Blackburn Lancashire Margaret Grimshaw abt 1841 Blackburn, Lancashire, England Daughter Blackburn Lancashire William Grimshaw abt 1846 Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England Son Blackburn Lancashire

Tracy thank you so much, there the right ones .........but i think i need an expert on this as on the 51 census the mother is Elizabeth and William is the twin brother of Cunliffe but hes not on the 61 census with them, hes living with his Father Alexander..........need a stiff drink to sort this out! Thanks Christine

Christine, this is the family I found in 1851... Mathew Grimshaw abt 1818 Grest Harwood, Lancashire, England Head Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Charlotte Grimshaw abt 1815 Rishton, Lancashire, England Wife Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Alice Grimshaw abt 1845 Oswaldtwisle, Lancashire, England Daughter Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Mary S Grimshaw abt 1842 Rishton, Lancashire, England Daughter Oswaldtwistle Lancashire William Grimshaw abt 1847 Oswaldtwisle, Lancashire, England Son Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Joseph Grimshaw abt 1850 Oswaldtwisle, Lancashire, England Son Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Cunliffe in 1851 Thomas(Alexander) Grimshaw abt 1815 Great Harwood, Lancashire, England Head Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Elizabeth Grimshaw abt 1815 Bolton by Bowland, Yorkshire, England Wife Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Cumliff Grimshaw abt 1847 Oswalde, Lancashire, England Son Oswaldtwistle Lancashire Are you sure they're twins??

Tracey Thanks for the new offer. Emily McPherson born Feb 1835 in North Cray. She's with her parents in 1841 aged 6 but not woth them in 1851 and can't find her in 1861. There's a marriage on FRBD in Dec 1888 for an Emily McPherson but would she have married at 53 years old and if she did she should certainly been around for the 51 census and possibly 61 as a single girl even if she was marreid twice. Regards Roy McP.

Roy, 1851 Emily McPherson abt 1835 North Cray, Kent, England Servant Paddington Middlesex Servant to Charlotte Overy(?) Can't see her in '61 though.

Hi Tracy Yes there twins i have the birth certificate of Cunliffe giving the time of birth as 7am first born , with parents Alexander and Elizabeth i also have the marriage cert of Alex and Elizabeth..........think i need to put this on the tips board see if anyone can solve it. christine

Christine, I'm not disputing that Cunliffe is a twin. What I am questioning, is whether he and Alice's brother William are twins.

Hi Tracy When i went to the register office for the birth certificate of Cunliffe, i asked the lady why it said the time of birth and why it said first born, she kindly told me that Cunliffe was the first born of twins the 2nd born was William born at 7.21 am so you can see the puzzle im left with! Why have they different parents? Christine

They can't have different parents and be twins lol Cunliffe must have a different brother William. He must have died before the 1851 census.
