Find Ancestors

Malcolm Sorry I cannot locate a Jane White age 9 ,born Chertsey on the 1871 census. Mary

Hi Constance Thanks for looking Malcolm

Hi Penny As you say it was a bit of a long shot,I could not find your man under any of the spelling variants in Handborough on the 1851 census. Regards Mary

Hi Mary I wonder if you could check the 1871 on Ancestry for me? I am looking for Annie Bays (middle name Victoria), born 1859-60 in Essex (maybe Canning Town). She should be 12 possibly 13 on the 1871 and living in London. She had a sister Mary Ann who would have been 19 in 1871. I think that she may have left home by then and would be working as a domestic servant. If there are any possibilities for Annie I would be most grateful. Thank you so much for your kind offer. Lynne

Hi Lynne Sorry nothing for Annie Bays on 1871 at first search will have another go for Mistranscriptions. Mary

Hi Linda You're not kidding,those Dunns have gone off in the spaceship,no sign of them anywhere unless they have been very badly mistranscribed. Sorry Mary

Hi Mary Thanks for looking. They are the most secretive family I have. The only confirmed sighting is on the 1881 for the two ladies. Oh well, I will have to keep searching Thanks again Lynne

Hi Mary, Thank you for your help the other day - Can I please ask you to have a look on the 1841 for my man: GEORGE BOWLES - born Wanborough, Berks - will be aged approx 29yrs - Occupation Agricultural Labourer - if married then, wife will be Jane. Many thanks - Anne

Ellen I noticed that you had also posted this lookup to Grampa Jim's thread. See his reply to your request. Mary

Hi Denise The earliest full census available on Ancestry is 1871 which means Mary Rowley would be approx 49 and unlikely to be still unmarried. I did try the 1851 sample but no luck there and nothing on IGI. Sorry Kind regards Mary

Hi Denise, Yes I think the best way to try to track her down is with the marriage cert. By the way Wybunbury is in Cheshire according to the 1871 census not Staffs. Good luck Mary

Hi Margaret I am sorry but I cannot find your Pilkingtons on the 1871 census,however,I found the birth registration details for John Pilkington Sept Qtr 1848 Whitehaven Vol 25 Page 156. I could not find a record of Baptism for him. Regards Mary

Hi Kevin I am sorry but I have not been able to locate your John Connaughton family on any of the censuses. Tried all sorts of different spellings etc but a big fat zero. Not much better with William and Hannah,I only managed to find this entry on the 1891 but the female name is Ann and ages for both are incorrect: Living at 21 Glebe St, Ashton under Lyne Ann Connaughton Head Married 40 Card room hand b Ireland William Connaughton Son 20 Spinner in Cotton Mill b Ashton There are a number of Connaughtons on the indexes but most seem to be born in Ireland and only a few born in Lancs. Regards Mary

Hi Kevin Have had another search through only looking for Connaughton name and found this on 1871 census: Living at 27 Glebe St,Ashton under Lyne James Connaughton Head 38 Stripper in Card room b Ireland Hannah Conaughton Wife 40 Cotton Weaver b Ireland William Connaughton Son 3 mths b Ashton u Lyne Ann Conaughton Mother Widow House keeper b Ireland Still could find nothing for John & family. Mary

Shirley in the North East Sorry but the 1841 census I have is for Oxfordshire,Ancestry does not start proper censuses until 1871,I am therefore not able to help you with a lookup. Mary

Hello Mary I should have read your message properly before posting mine. Thank you. Shirley
