Find Ancestors

If anyone would like look-ups for this census, I'm happy to do so. Trying to take the pressure off Sally a bit! Places available to search so far are Middlesex (EXcluding London) Wales & the Channel Islands & Isle of Man. Or so it says!! Will also do any other lookups available on ancestry uk Debbie

Missing one Great-grandad and his mum. (Not on 1881) Samuel Brierley born August 1865 (age 5 at 1871) Place of Birth: Moseley Hole, Wednesfield (Wolverhampton) Mum: Harriet Brierley (no father on certificate), age unknown. Nothing else to go on. He is in London for 1891 as policeman. Pauline

Hi Pauline, Nothing on 1871 yet. Have to presume he was still in Wolverhampton. Hopefully they'll add that soon! Debbie

HI Deborah, Could you please see if you can find Byron Burgess Born 2nd June 1858 St Giles Middlesex. Parents poss William & Sarah Burgess. Thank you Tracy

Hi Tracy No Byron's I'm afraid. There is William Burgess 48 Greengrocer, Bermondsey Sarah Wife 44, Tottenham Hannah E Daur U 19, Walworth William Son 16, Tottenham Address Plough Yard, High Road, Tottenham Is St Giles part of London, if so, that's why he isn't on there, Middlesex does not include London. Debbie

deborah Thank you for looking, ST Giles falls under Middlesex. Was this the only burgess on the census that was a married couple as william and sarah burgess? Byron seems to have dissappeared, hes not on anything until 1901 by then hes 42. Thanks again Tracy

Hi Tracy, Yes, there were only 2 married Sarah's listed, the other married to an Edward Burgess. I tried Bryan and other such things, as there were no Byrons of any surname, but drew a blank. Still it's early days, he could pop up any day!! They are adding to this quite quickly. Debbie

Deborough - could you please have a look for my two Mary Lowthers - I'm never sure where they will be as they moved about and i'm never sure what areas old Middlesex boundary covered. First is Mary Lowther age 20-30 she lied about her age in 1891. with sons George age 5 and James age 2 The other is Mary Lowther age 55 with a son Reuban age 11 Sue

Hi Sue, Only 2 Lowthers on there at the moment: W Lowther age 11 pupil in Chiswick and William Lowther 43 bn Yorkshire living in Tottenham. Debbie

Hi Deborah Would you try for a Welsh one for me please. On 1881 Griffith Davies was 35 a lead miner his wife Anne was 30. As their eldest child was 10 then I am hopeful they were married and living together in 1871. As the fisrt name is fairly unusual I hope that there aren't too many to choose from!! In 1881 census place was Flint. Thanks Diane

Hi Debbie I am not sure if Westminster was classed as middlesex or London. But if it is could you try for a Charles Day he would have been 28 and born in westminster. He married in 1873 in India so he might not be anywhere in England. Thankyou for the kind offer, I havent had much luck with this man so heres hoping. Thanks Debbie

Thanks Debbie - Sue.

Debbie not suer if theses will be under the part of Middlesex covered by ancestry but if you could have a peek would be grateful.. Isaac Jeffries 22 Mary Elizabeth Jeffries 19 (could be either mary or elizabeth) Isaac Jeffries 3 many thanks shelli

Hi Diane, There are 172 Griffiths Davies in Wales but none in Flintshire!! Is he likely to have been elsewhere? Where was he born, and I'll have another look. Only one Anne Davies, she was born in Flintshire, but her husband is Samuel. Debbie

Hi Debra, There are 19 Charles Day's, would you believe, but none of that age, Nearest is 22, but born in Scotland. Sorry. Debbie

Hi Shelli, Sorry, no Isaac Jeffries, yet. Debbie

Hi Deborah, I can't believe there are that many!! He is 35 on the 1881 b. Bettws Gwerfilgoch Merioneth. Census place DYmeirchion, Flint. Anne b. Pontrhydfendigaid, Cardigan. Hopefully that will narrow it down. I'm afraid it's all double dutch to me, so I hope the 81 is fairly accurate. Thanks again Diane

Hi Diane, I'v run out of options here I think. Tried all combinations, and spelling variations. Nearest I could come up with was a 30yr old Griffith Davies from Bettws, but his wife is Jane, and son Griffith 6ms. Do you know who his parents were? I think that's all that's left to try. Debbie

Hi Deborah, Thanks for trying. I found a marriage for 1870 so they should be together. Another mystery for now. Thanks again Diane

Hi Debbie Thank you so much for looking, this man is driving me mad I will find him eventually. I even found his marriage a few days ago in India so payed and ordered the certificate, This morning they sent me a letter saying that they couldnt find it and only repaid me £2.50 refund. very annoying. Thanks Debbie
