Last week I found William Green, b. 1836, Gawsworth (mistrans. as Gainsworth) on 1881 (LDS). Stupidly, I didnt note him down and he's gone! He was a Furniture Dealer in 1881, I seem to remember. Olde Crone

You silly dotty olde crone. Hold on and I'll take a look. nell

This is all I can find in the index: . William GREEN - 1881 British Census / Cheshire Head Gender: Male Birth: <1834> Tranmere, Cheshire, England 2. William GREEN - 1881 British Census / Cheshire Head Gender: Male Birth: <1836> Marple, Cheshire, England 3.

GREEN - 1881 British Census / Shropshire Head Gender: Male Birth: <1838> Malpas, Cheshire, England nell

Do you recall where he was in 1881? nell

Nell Er, no, I don't - I initially discounted him as he said he was born in Gainsworth. Later I realised it almost certainly said Gawsworth. Mystery, innit? Glad I'm not the only one who can't find him, thought I was going mad. Thanks for looking. Olde Crone

Well if the silly dotty olde crone had quoted the correct dob I would have found him first go. Jess - betcha can't find my Broad uncles!!! nell

who needs a date of birth? william and the place name , the wrong one, soon sorted him out! jess

No, it was silly olde Great Great Great Uncle Willy who said he was born in 1833, not me. (I have him baptised in 1836, anyway and no reason to think he was done late.) BUT thankyou all, I really thought I was going mad. I searched births from 1830-1840 and he still didnt come up. That LDS site doesnt like me much. I will now carefully copy down this info as I should have done when I first found it...but didnt! Good night everyone, I shall now sleep in peace, safe in the knowledge that I have repelled the bonds of insanity for at least another day. Olde Crone

Sorry Marji not hijacking but can I ask Nell a question please. Nell, where are your Broads from. My GG grandmother was a Broad from Preston in Dorset. jan xx

Jan From Mawgan in Pydar/St Columb/Little Petherick area of Cornwall. It seems to be a Cornish name. My great grandmother Emma and her 4 sisters all moved away -3 to the London area and one to the Isle of Wight. Elder brother stayed in Cornwall until poor health meant he went to live with youngest girl in Surrey. But there are two boys, George b. 1856 and James b. 1859 who disappear. Last sighting of James is in Mawgan in 1871 and last sighting of George is in Cowbridge, Wales in 1881. I know that James was still alive in 1925 and that George was dead by then. So if you find them while looking for your lot, let me know! nell

Thanks Nell, haven't come across West Country I have to admit but g.g.m from Dorset and hubby Thos Burch from Middleton Norfolk - they too must have come South cos I have birth of their daughter Caroline at Inverness terrace, Plumstead (now SE London) 31 Aug 1865. Can't find where they married though - yet!! I'll let you know if I come up with anything West. Best wishes Jan xx

I have rellies from Norfolk too! In fact all the country-born lot moved to London area for work, from Cornwall, Warwicks, Gloucestershire, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. nell

You've started me off again now. I'm going looking for the marriage again, just in case it got transcribed while I wasn't looking LOL. Jan xx
