Find Ancestors

Does anyone know if these records are fully up to date? I have been trying to trace the harrington's for days, I have them 1851 and 1881 1891 1901, but there is a gap for 61 and 71. I have tried both parents and all children born. I have also tried variations on the surname. I know they were in risca in 51 and machen in 1881.
Any advice would be grateful.

Janet

Was just looking at that 1871 - occupation is brick maker so looks promising

GB

Gl;itterbaby, thanks - have just edited above to say sarah born Risca, which makes it a possibility.

Not found them in 1861

Me neither. Either hopelessly mis-transcribed or not there. Not giving up just yet!
Jan

Not found them in 1861 using Findmypast either

Thats fantastic, how did you find the 71 census, I can see that there are some spelling mistakes which is maybe why I couldn't find it eg Mantygle should be Nantyglo and sarah and benjamin are spelt wrong , but it looks like the correct family. I have tried all sorts of ways because of the spelling etc and I am so grateful to you.
Many many thanks
Denise

PS what website did you use?

Just looked for James Harrington with wife Sarah, specified birth year but not place. Maybe you are putting in too much info, I find it pays to be quite general then refine details if you get too many results.
I used ancestry, I think glitterbaby used findmypast.
No luck with 1861 at all!!!
Jan

Hi
Does that mean that differant web sites have differant information as the 71 census is not on genesreunited.
thanx

GR do not have the 1881 census as it is free nor the 1911 census for the other census you get redirected to other sites

Findmypast I think it better for transcriptions but I usually use Ancestry

one of the children Benjamin was born Machen 1861

Births Mar 1861 (>99%)
HARRINGTON Benjamin Newport M 11a 187 Scan available - click to view

so they should be there somewhere!
will keep looking!

1871 their address is hard to read but could be Fwrwn (in Machen)

using findmypast and looking at the street in Machen
I can't find them however there is this entry....

153 THIS SCHEDULE WAS LEFT FOR A PARTY FROM HOME AND HAVE NOT RETURNED ON 8 APRIL###

Would be typical if that was them!

1861 Census
Fwrwm, Machen
Newport, Monmouthshire
RG09 piece 4027 folio 87 page 27

Thank you all so much, at least I have something to go on, my luck it is entry 153 !!!. I am going to order Benjamins birth cert so at least it will show registered address. I think it will be Machen and not Risca as in 51.
Again thank you all so much.
Denise
