Have located my Great Grandfather BARNETT DAVIS and his Family on the 1871 CENSUS For BIRMINGHAM-ST THOMAS (Ref RG10 Folio15 Piece 3097) and after that absolutely no trace.
Has anyone seen this Family on any subsequent Census anywhere.?

Was there a change of name(s) along the way?

Sorry-but if you see them in 1871 and then you don't see them again.......how do you know that they are "yours"?

Maureen

Doesn't help but I wonder if this is Jacob in 1881? Son is transcribed as Bennett but I am sure it is Barnett...named for his uncle and grandfather?

bear with me...re the Jacob Davis in Cheetham Lancs, and the marriage in 1874 of Barnett Davis to Esther ...maybe there was a name change?

Looks like they were a Jewish family, judging by the names & the link to Cheetham, Manchester which was a Jewish area.
Davis is probably an anglicised version of a Polish name.
The synagogue in Birmingham has been in existence for many years. Might be worth seeing if you can find anything in their records to point you in the right direction.

The three children shown in 1881 are all recorded as being born in Manchester

The youngest's birth - at least - should, by law, have been registered....I can find no record

?

Marriages Jun 1890 (>99%)

DAVIS Moses Walsall 6b 1065 <<<<<<<
DENHAM Joshua Harry Walsall 6b 1065
Woolley Florence Jane Walsall 6b 1065
Wright Charlotte Walsall 6b 1065

EDIT NO not this one....

In 1871, the surname is recorded as Davies............with the 'e' being crossed out

Barnett snr and Jacob are Glaziers

............a far cry from the occ of the Jacob shown in 1881...........

Also on the 1871 the place of birth has been transcribed as Ireland for all the adult.
Original clearly says Poland which at that time would be part of Russia.
There is a marriage in Birmingham 2nd quarter 1874 for Barnett Davis to Esther Myers.
Presumably Anne died, but looking for a death for the correct Anne Davis in Birmingham would be a bit of a problem.
Must admit I was a bit surprised that the occ was glazier. Would have expected them to be employed in the clothing industry.

If they'd just arrived in England they may have put down whatever work they knew? or indeed the enumerator might have misheard 'Glaziers' for 'tailors'...it's not a leap with a Polish accent?
