Mary - good, that confirms what I found.
Andrew - That's always a possibility but it does have Ann as 'Head'. Also with the elder boys missing, you just have to wonder if they're all together.

I wonder if the census enumerator just missed Lot off the page when he wrote it up?

Mary Report 8 Aug 2011 21:54

Mary Report 8 Aug 2011 21:20

1851 they have sons George 1838 he died J/A/S 1861 in Shaftsbury.
Charles 1840 married Anna Emily Burbridge 24/4/1862 address at the time Enmore Green dad Lot a Ostler.

None of the above can be found 1861 but obviuosly they are in the area.

So there's a possibility this could be George.

Marriages Sep 1861
Cox Ellen Shaftesbury 5a 393
Gray John Shaftesbury 5a 393
Roberts Sarah Shaftesbury 5a 393
Wooldridge George Shaftesbury 5a 393

Looks like Sarah might've married John Gray.
1861:Sarah Roberts abt 1831 Motcombe, Dorset, England Head Motcombe, Dorset
1881: Sarah Gray John abt 1830 Motcombe, Dorset, England Wife St Mary Islington, London

I can't find the older boys in 1861 either.

Charles turns up married in Motcombe in 1871, living next to Dad at Enmore Green.

Sorry to be a pain but do your have the reg/folio numbers for 1861 and 1871

Thanks

Linda Report 8 Aug 2011 20:17

Thank you all you lovely people - I wonder why he was not living with his wife and family who were literally up the hill in Shaftesbury? We will never know!

I know Angelina ended up in Cardiff and married a Samuel Peters and had four children Angelina, john, William and Louisa Peters towards the end of the 1800s

Thanks again

Dear Maryb

You have got the right chappie and he was still married but 1861 is a mystery - thanks for checking and confirming my details - it can be easy to overlook the obvious but stuck on this bit and thought fresh eyes might come up with something that might be staring me in the face :-D
