Is there any one out there with access to Staffordshire information between 1841 and 1871. The family I am interested in is called Wilks. In the 1881 Census they are listed as living at Station Road, Cannock, Staffordshire. The family consisted of Richard Wilks, head c1837 born Wales. Louisa Wilks, wife c1841 born Bloxwich, Staffordshire. Sarah Bevins, Stepdaughter c1866 born Bloxwich (In 1891 census listed as Sarah A Vivian). Omiah Wilks, daughter c1875 born Bloxwich. James Wilks, son c1875 born Bloxwich. Thomas Wilks, son c1877 born Bloxwich. Richard Wilks, son c1880 born Hednesford, It would be great to find out if Richard Wilks family originally from Wales were around the Staffordshire area in earlier census. Also I do not know if Louisa maiden name was Bevins and she had Sarah out of wedlock or if she was married pre her marriage to Richard Wilks. But any new information would be gratefully received. Thanking you in advance for any help you might be able to offer, Kind regards, Christopher
