Dear Jess I'd be grateful if you could possibly track down my Watkinson family in the 1891 census. I have them in the 1901 census (and they are definitely mine) as follows: 3 Eagle Place, Mile End Old Town. ref RG13/330 William, head, M, 32, Coachman, worker, England!!! Martha, wife, M, 30, England William, son, 10, England Florrie, daur, 6, England John, son, 4, England Thomas, son, 2, England William, ??father, 66,England Mary, ?? mother, 66, England Martha, daur, 8, England. The enumerator just put the country of origin for the whole page! I have a possible marriage for William and Martha (Wilks) in Hackney in Q3 1891. I am having trouble finding them on the 1881 census as there are several possibilities (there is one close match for Standish in Lancashire, but that isn't them). If you could possibly find them on the 1891 census this would be very helpful and I can then track back to the 1881. Thanks. Maggie

hi, please could you look up on the 1891 a William George Allder He was born 6/6/1877 in stewkley buckinghamshire thanks.

Hi Jess, can I ask you to look up 1891 Charlotte Mayers born 1884 Kensington Middx. father William Mayers, they lived 23 Farm Street (1884). Thank you Vivien

Hi Jess, Thanks for answering. The answer to your question is daft - I'm not resally sure who I am looking for - hoping for some long lost rellies! My gg grandfather (Thomas Ward) is listed as being a lodging house keeper there in 1982 as well as the address I found him at on 1891 census. I guess I was just hoping another family member might have been running it for him! Thanks anyway Christine

maggie, You are putting me up against it a bit! if they didn't marry until 1891 then i am looking for William on his own- YES? having no idea from whence he came all i can offer you is the right name at about the right age.

Susan How old would John be and where was he born? jess.

Hi Jess, Thank you so much for Mayers info. Vivien.

Hi Jess I'm so sorry - I didn't think. I didn't mean to give you that much work. I'm very grateful. Thanks. Maggie

lisa, there are few Haycrofts, not a john at all that i can see and not many at all in Yorks Do you know siblings or parents names? jess

Hi Jess. If you are still doing look-up's, would you try the 1901 for Dinah Hibberd born 1868 in West Lavington, Wiltshire. Thanks

jan, is this her married or maiden name? can't find her in census and winder if this was her marriage? Gale, Mary Alice 1880 March Marriages Marylebone (1837-1901) London Middlesex Haskell, John Harvey 1880 March Marriages Marylebone (1837-1901) London Middlesex Hibberd, Dinah 1880 March Marriages Marylebone (1837-1901) London Middlesex McKoen, Edwin Frederick 1880 March Marriages Marylebone (1837-1901) London Middlesex or wonder even.... jess I cant find Dinah McKoen in 1901 but there is a Dinah Haskell in Dorset with husband 2 sons and a daughter. in 1891 there are Lloads of Hibberds in a place called Brailes warwickshire, inc Dinah aged 40 but not born wiltshire

hi jess, thanks so much for the imfo on william allder much appreciated.

Jess. Dinah was born in West Lavington and died 11th Dec 1946. I think she died in the same village and as far as I can make out, she died a Hibberd but then that doesn't mean that she didn't marry a cousin which would leave her as a Hibberd! Thanks for looking anyway.
