My computer is a dinosaur and takes forever to load each page, but I have spent hours looking at the 1871 and 1891 censuses for these people. I found them on the 1881. I tried Soundex codes and leaving out certain information, now at a standstill. Can anyone find them please? I am sure they must be mistranscribed: Frederick Colledge b.1849 Ilford Essex Eleanor Colledge b. 1852 Brighton Surrey and family, probably living in West Ham Essex. Thank you all you wonderful people out there for all the help you have given me. Maggie.

Do you happen to know when they married? Just wondering if we are looking for a married couple on the 1871 or separately. Leah

Maggie What does the census actually say in 1881? The closest is Fred, wife Ellen born Bow, Middlesex and daughter Emily aged 3.

Hello They were married Sept,. 1871 but I can't even find him on his own, her maiden name was Mitchell. Lunar: I think that may be them, but is it under Colledge? in 1881 it did say they were living with his parents with children and had those birthplaces, but I know in fact she was born in Brighton. Thanks Maggie

Thanks Jeanette, that is the family. Yes, I had found them on those, but thank you for your reply. Maggie

Thanks Lunar, I did have them on the 1881, that's why it is so strange that I can't find them on the 1891. Nor have I found the father and mother, Joseph and Sarah, on the 1891...perhaps they were all still living together and have all been mistranscribed. I do appreciate your help. Maggie

they must be hiding some where can't find them sorry jeanette

Births Mar 1876 Colledge Sarah Eleanor West Ham 4a 38 Is this right?

Thanks for trying Jeanette. (It must be a very odd mistransciption!!!!) Best regards Maggie
