Hi Robin, Did you order the census from the NFHS ? I ask because i am waiting for my 1851 from them. Steve.

Hi Steve Yes, should have been here May

Thanks Robin, I know they were sent back because the quality wasn't up to scratch and i really thought i would have a longer wait for them. Really pleased now i know i will be getting them soon. Steve.

I really would be very grateful if you could look up village of MISSON, Notts. for any of DOBB family. Hazel

Hi Robin. You've already helped me out wonderfully with other census years. Could I ask you for a look see for my Harris family in Cotgrave in case any stray ones are hanging around. Father Daniel, mother Elizabeth. Thanks Helen

Could you see if there is a John Woodhead living in North Wheatley please. He was born about 1838/39 time. Thankyou. Dawn

hi Robin I'm still waiting for my 1861 from NFHS Barbara

Hi, Robin, Can't remember who I wanted you to look up on this. Will get back to you at a later date when my brain clicks in again. Happy hunting, Tricia

Hazel Good news and bad news. Piece 2348 Folios 381-407 covers Misson in 1851. There are Dobb(s) at 389.401/401 and another close by at 227. This Piece comes under Doncaster, Yorks for that year.so you will need someone with that census to check them out.

Hi Helen Notts 1851 Cotgrave. There are two listed on the Index Piece 2139 folio 478 at House 130, Cotgrave Daniel Harris, Head, Married, 42 yrs Ag Lab b Arnold, Notts James son 19Yrs dit b Sneinton, Nottm. Francis son 12Yrs dit b Cotgrave,Notts William son 10 Yrs dit dit Piece 2139 Folio 470 at House 56, Cotgrave Mary? Harris ?, Head. Wid? 75Yrs, Char Woman b Sawley The last one is very difficult to read and I believe it to be a Harris ,especially as all the other surnames are readable.

Hi Dawn I cannot find your family in North Wheatley 1851 At Piece 2121 Folio 123, South Wheatley Sarah Woodhead, Un Marr, 18 Yrs, General Servant. b Not Known. She is with a farmer Samuel and Elizabeth Bathwick? and family. I believe that I have found John Woodhead aged 3 in North Wheatley in 1841 with Father Joseph and Mother Sarah plus three siblings.One of these is a Sarah who may be the one above. If this is the correct family some are on the Christening Index and there is also a reference to a Marriage between a Joseph/Sarah on the Marriage Index. If you do not have any of the above or you want me to check the whole Piece for 1851, please get back.

Your help/advice much appreciated, thanks, I'll look into the Doncaster 1851. I know it's one of those villages on the county border which has changed over time. Actually I first began to look at Yorks. when I found that family. In 1841 it's in Notts. Now I'll go back. regards Hazel

Hi Rosemary Seems ages ago when I was hunting the Harveys! I think you may need to look at these first hand. 1851 Piece 2134, Rolleston Folio 130 House 2. Joseph Harvey, Marr, 46 Yrs, Farm Labourer b Flockton? Notts He appears to be working for a Sarah Wike? Head, Wid, 78 Yrs b Dagenham, Essex Folio 133 House 32 Mary Ann Harvey, Head,Marr, 49Yrs Farm Labourers wife, b Suffolk, Addingham. Thomas son, Un Marr, 20yrs dit son b Sneinton, Notts ????? Dau 12yrs Solomon? Listed asDau 10yrs dit ????? Dau 7Yrs Last three b Rolleston , Notts I think that these may be the correct family as Mary/Joseph and Thomas together with Ann and Bridget are listed in Rolleston in 1841
