I am looking for William Frederick Reddick born 1841-ish, his wife Elizabeth born 1842-ish and any family they might have. I am not sure where they were born but suspect that at this time they would be living in the Coventry area. I would be grateful for any information. Thank you

If you check 1881, which is free, you will find out where they were born, which will make it easier to find them in 1901. Reg

I can't see anyone on any census who could be these people........nor is there a likely marriage in the transcribed records. Do you have any more info to help us, please? Reg

The only other information I have is that they had several children (Names/dates unknown) except one son Robert born 1886. Also, sorry, but William Frederick is actually Frederick William. I got the names the wrong way round, very sorry

My brain's still at lunch! Didn't look for mistrans!! Transposing the forenames isn't a problem........bmd searches always give both options in the results.............. Glad Porky was awake!! Reg

Just thought i would say that Margaret J Roddick is down as born North Shields, married but there is nothing in the relationship to head column, James Roddick age 29 born Whitworth, Lancashire is down as son and John Roddick age 7 born Radford, Warwickshire is down as Grandson Eliza A Roddick born 1842 Bishop Auckland Roy

Thanks Porky Pie. This is most helpful though most confusing. Head born Cobham Surrey, wife born Bishop Auckland, County Durham, elder son born Lancashire marrying girl from North Shields, no places for Fredk 19 and Robert but grandson born Coventry. My goodness, did they do some flitting about !! Thanks again.
