I'm bored

Hello Linda, If you are seriously bored, try this for me, please. Mary Shearer born 26th July 1874 in Hilliclay, Caithness. She did not marry until 1902, so where and what was she doing during the census of 1881, 1891 and 1901. Good luck, Derek in France

I've never done scottish ones before. My geography might be a bit out. do you know her fathers name? did she marry in scotland?

Derek Could this be the family in 1871 Name: John Shearer Age: 37 Estimated birth year: abt 1834 Relationship: Head Spouse's name : Jane Gender: Male Where born: Olrig, Caithnessshire Registration Number: 39 Registration district: Olrig Civil parish: Olrig County: Caithness Address: West Boughts Occupation: Lab Par Work ED: 4 Page: 10 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 36 Line: 8 Roll: CSSCT1871_8 Household Members: Name Age Alexander Shearer 6 Esther Shearer 8 Jane Shearer 26 Jane Shearer 3 John Shearer 37 John Shearer 5 Robert Shearer 1 IGI has parents for Mary as John Shearer and Jane Sutherland and they married in 1862. Also a daughter Isabella born in 1873. Sorry Linda but more info might be useful Maureen

Linda, Sorry if I am butting into your thread but will leave it now so that Derek can respond to questions. Derek, A possible Mary is on the 1901 census with 3 children. I believe the family is on 1891 but not Mary. Maureen

Yes ! Sorry, his wife was Elizabeth not Mary, as I said !

Sorry Marie, I've tried everything and nothing comes up. Have tried searching for the kids and with first name only Linda

Hi Linda I am having problems finding Sarah Priest born 1861 in Rowley North Staffs. She married a James Herbert in approx 1876 and had 7 children. I am having problems because the name is so common. Could you possibly have a look for me? Thanks, Carolyn.

No problem, he is very elusive ! Thanks for your help x

Carolyn, you would need to order the marriage cert for Sarah and James to find her fathers name and occupation. There are too many Sarah Preists born in the right area to be able to narrow it down without any more info she did marry 1876 John Cooper 1876 Jan-Feb-Mar Dudley (To 1912) Staffordshire, Worcestershire >>James Herbert 1876 Jan-Feb-Mar Dudley (To 1912) Staffordshire, Worcestershire >> Sarah Priest 1876 Jan-Feb-Mar Dudley (To 1912) Staffordshire, Worcestershire Susan Thomas 1876 Jan-Feb-Mar Dudley (To 1912) Staffordshire, Worcestershire

hi, this is a very kind offer. I would love it if you could find a George Storer, born saxstead suffolk 1838, his wife Susannah, children , John, Eli, Alice and possibly Arthur. The spelling may be off, Storrer, Storrar, Storar, and so on, i think i looked before and couldn't find them. They would be living in London/surrey about 1871 having come from suffolk just before. I was just looking for something else and found that i needed info from that census and realised that i dont have it. No worries if you are fed up with doing it now but thanks if you can yvette

Thanks Linda, will do Carolyn

Thanks so much linda, isn't it strange that they dont turn up on the 1871, i think that it probably to do with the spelling of the name, bearing in mind they had just come from suffolk and had 'ooaarh' accents LOL

hi linda, thank you so much, i have been trying, with all these clever combinations using a's and rr's but didn't think of that combo, i know about Phoebe being johns wife as i have the 1881. Thanks again for your help well done yvette

Hi Linda, Sorry but had to disappear earlier. Was hoping that there might have been some feedback from Derek by now. 1891 I think this is the right family Name: John Shearer Age: 57 Estimated birth year: abt 1834 Relationship: Head Spouse's name : Jane Gender: Male Where born: Olrig, Caithness Registration Number: 41 Registration district: Thurso Civil parish: Thurso Town: Thurso County: Caithness Address: Grove Lane Occupation: Stonedresser ED: 2 Page: 11 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 50 Line: 11 Roll: CSSCT1891_10 Household Members: Name Age Edward Shearer 5 Isabella Shearer 18 James Shearer 9 Jane Shearer 48 Jessie Shearer 13 John Shearer 57 John Shearer 24 Laughlin Shearer 7 Lizzie Shearer 11 Mennie Shearer 2 Ancestry is producing some strange results for the 1881 census such as one person listed as grandson or granddaughter and no one else listed in the household. Derek, Did a free search on ScotlandsPeople, sorry got no credits left to view the results, but the names do appear in Thurso in 1881. Are there two Mary Shearer? There is one listed in 1891 Maureen
