1891 census... but different parents?? Name: David Shipton Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1877 Relation: Son Father's name: William J Mother's name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Chorlton On Medlock Ecclesiastical parish: St Ambrose Town: Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Chorlton Sub-registration district: Chorlton upon Medlock ED, institution, or vessel: 45 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Charles L Ainsworth 4 Elizabeth Ainsworth 36 Frederick W Ainsworth 11 James C Ainsworth 9 Thomas J Ainsworth 26 William J Ainsworth 52 Annie China 25 Henry China 27 Anne E Russell 45 Charley Shipton 11 David Shipton 14 Elizabeth Shipton 17 Emily Shipton 6 Evelina Shipton 4 Georgina.

THANK YOU Georgina I am sure of the parents names and the list of children do not match..I feel that at the age of 14 David would be not at home

Just posting 1881 census for reference... Name: Elizabeth Shipton Age: 6 Estimated birth year: abt 1875 Relation: Daughter Father's name: David Mother's name: Mary Gender: Female Where born: Charlton Upon Medlock, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Gorton County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: 126 Morton St Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Chorlton Sub-registration district: Ardwick ED, institution, or vessel: 57 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Charles Hy. Shipton 1 David Shipton 29 David Shipton 4 Elizabeth Shipton 6 Mary Shipton 29 Georgina.

Possible death for their father... Deaths Dec 1886 (>99%) Shipton David 34 Chorlton 8c 519 Georgina.

Looking at the 1891 image it seems the indexers have struck again. The family starts with Elizabeth Shipton 17 followed by the rest of the Shiptons all given as son or dau. Then the Crisps who are lodgers. It should mean that whoever was head of the household was away on census night. Address is 3 Melbourne Place

It seems Elizabeth married George Hewitt and her brothers are with her in 1901... Marriages Mar 1893 (>99%) Hardy Thomas Manchester 8d 210 Hewitt George Arthur Manchester 8d 210 Shipton Elizabeth Manchester 8d 210 Sutton Elizabeth Manchester 8d 210 1901 census... Name: David Shipton Age: 24 Estimated birth year: abt 1877 Relation: Boarder Gender: Male Where born: Manchester, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Stretford Ecclesiastical parish: St Bride County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Barton upon Irwell Sub-registration district: Stretford ED, institution, or vessel: 19 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 229 Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Hewitt 26 Emily Hewitt 7 George Hewitt 2 George A Hewitt 29 Lilie Hewitt 4 Charles Shipton 21 David Shipton 24 Georgina.

I think the above 1891 census is your family, the transcriber has mixed families together, this is who is in the Shipton household in 1891... Charley Shipton abt 1880 Manchester, Lancashire, England Son Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire David Shipton abt 1877 Manchester, Lancashire, England Son Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Elizabeth Shipton abt 1874 Manchester, Lancashire, England Daughter Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Emily Shipton abt 1885 Manchester, Lancashire, England Daughter Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Evelina Shipton abt 1887 Daughter Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Annie China abt 1866 Lodger Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Henry China abt 1864 Manchester, Lancashire, England Lodger Chorlton On Medlock Lancashire Georgina.

To Georgina and Andrea who unravelled my census inquiry it has been a great help just to find what happened to the family ...MANY THANKS ..REGARDS
