Hi Ted I could not find William Alexander Wilson on the 1871 census. But looking for the children I found this household: Living at 41 Hunt St,Everton,Liverpool Mary Barley Head Widow 59 Charlotte Wilson Daur 30 Widow Jessie Barley Daur 17 Unmarried Janet Wilson 8 William Wilson 6 Sarah Wilson 1 On the census image it states that the young children are Daughters and sons,as the relationship should be to the Head of the household,it seems more likely that they are Charlottes offspring especially as they are named Wilson. They were ALL born in Liverpool. If you Message me with your email address I will send you the images as the entry covers two pages. Cheers Mary

Hello Maryclare I cannot find Alice Cooney on the 1901 census,but I am a little confused as I looked for a birth for Mary Cooney on 1837online and found only one birth for a Cooney in Leeds in 1912.This was for an Alice Cooney in June Qtr Vol 9b Page 781 and the mothers maiden name was McHale. Was Your Mum the eldest child,if so you need to find a marriage about 1910/11. I found a McHale family living in Leeds with a Alice aged 21 with them. I think this is going to be really tricky to sort out and wish you the best of luck. If you think I could help again get in touch. Regards Mary

Hello Diane There are no addresses shown in any of the censuses,the use of proper addresses did not happen until later,I think the earliest census with proper addreses is the 1871. 1841 Living in Sydenham Thomas Jones 35 Ag Lab Sarah Jones 15 Lacemaker Thomas Jones 13 Ann Jones 12 Mary Jones 10 Elizabeth Jones 8 All born in Oxfordshire Looks as though Mum Jones is deceased,can't say I am surprised having all those kids in 6/7 years. 1861 Living in Sydenham Thomas Jones Head 58 Ag Lab Mary Jones Wife 48 Lacemaker Leah Jones 15 Daur Lacemaker William Jones 13 Son Plough boy Joseph Jones 8 Son Scholar Ann Jones 9 Granddaughter Scholar All born Sydenham You have a bit of a mystery there,Who are Ann's parents? have fun sorting them all out If I can help with more lookups get back to me Regards Mary

Hi Fraser How are things in New Zealand,good to be able to help someone on the other side of the world.What follows is all I could find on 1841 /51 censuses. 1841 Living in Milcombe,Oxfordshire Alice Perkins 65 Widow born Oxfordshire George Perkins 20 Ag Lab born Oxfordshire William Perkins 20 Ag Lab born Oxfordshire NB Ages for adults were not given exactly they were rounded up or down at the whim of the enumerator. I could not find Sarah Eden,she had probably left home and gone into service outside the Village. 1851 Living in Milcombe George Perkins Head 32 Ag Lab b Milcombe Sarah Perkins Wife 29 b Milcombe Edmund W Perkins 5 Wife's son Scholar b Milcombe Archelas Perkins 2 Son b Milcombe William Perkins 29 Head Ag Lab b Milcombe Emma Perkins 28 Wife b Brackley,Northants Charles R Perkins 6 Son Scholar b Milcombe Selina Perkins 5 Daur Scholar b Milcombe Elizabeth Perkins 1 Daur b Milcombe I thought I would include George's brother as a matter of interest. Do you have them in the1861 census?I will check them out if you would like me to. Regards Mary

Thankyou very much Mary, This looks like the Jones family i am looking for. My Jones family were from Sydenham. Have you got an address for them at all. Mary could you look for the Jones family you found in 1851. The family with Thomas,Mary,Mary,Elizabeth, Leah,and william in it for me in 1841 and 1861. Thanks again Regards Diane.

Hi Gillie I had a look at Oxon 1841 for any Heavens in Wootton as that was down as his place of birth on the 1871 census,but found no family withthat name. Just a thought could it in fact be EVANS as in rural Oxfordshire speech an H was and is added to words that begin with a vowel and it could be that the enumerator made a mistake and as many people were only semi literate the name became Heavens. Have you tried asking for a Parish Register lookup,there are people on this board who have Oxfordshire Parish records. Sorry I could not be more help. Mary

Hi, thanks for the offer of lookups - I have a George Perkins and Sarah Eden married early 1840's in the Milcombe/Bloxham area of Oxfordshire, with a son Edmund born 1845 and son Archelaus born 1849 - would they show in the 1851 census? George was a basketweaver and/or farmer. Also, is there a chance of a look up on the 1841 Census for either name pre-marital? Would appreciate your help, as I am in New Zealand Regards, Fraser Duncan

Hi Tracy I have found your Randalls on the 1891, her name is Ann E Randall.If you send me your email addy I will send you the image,there is also another sibling. Regards Mary

Hi Julie I have not been able to find a death for James Noe,but the coverage for BMDs on Ancestry is not complete and I do not have any credit on 1837 online. Unfortunately his birth is too early for a birth cert,so it will have to be a Parish register lookup which I do not have access to. I found the family on 1871 census(do you have this info) and Elizabeth was 13 at the time of census and therefore born in 1858 or 1857,so you should look for a marriage 1856 ish,I could not find one for James on Freebmd. However I did find a death for a Hannah Noe age 37 in March Qtr 1871 Hackney 1b 384 which sounds promising. Sorry not to be of more help Mary

Hello Diane You did not say where I would find the Jones family in Oxfordshire so I hope these are the correct people,living in Sydenham. 1861 Thomas Jones Head 32 Widower Ag Lab Amelia Jones Daur 6 Scholar George Jones Son 4 All born in Sydenham 1851 Thomas Jones Head 48 Ag Lab Mary Jones Wife 42 Lacemaker Thomas Jones Son 23 Ag Lab Mary Jones Daur 19 Lacemaker Elizabeth Jones Daur 17 Lacemaker Leah Jones 5 Daur Scholar William Jones Son 3 All born in Sydenham and they were the only Jones family in Sydenham and all the offspring were unmarried,including Thomas junior.

Trying to find the birth, marraige and death of James Noe. He was born around 1835 and lived in Hackney, Poplar and Bethnal Green area's. in 1901 he was a patient at a hospital (St Marylebone). He had at least 4 children, Elizabeth (born around 1868, James (born aprox 1865), Henry (born aprox 1867), and Arthur (born aprox 1869). I don't know the mother of his children, so the marraige cert would be good, and also, the birth and deaths dates/certs of James Noe would be good to obtain. Can you please help? Thanks
